Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

If we set it up, we should allow it to do its work and who should respect its independence. The first report of the inquiry, which deals with term of reference (d) regarding information provided to women about screening and the issue of consent, was published earlier today There is also a progress report in which Dr. Scally updates us and the public on the progress he is making regarding the other parts of his inquiry. He has now asked for an extension and that he be allowed to complete his work by the end of the summer. We should respect his independence and allow him the time has asked for to do the work.
