What is the Minister doing about the leak? He said it was cruel, with which we all agree.

On quality assurance, it is not enough and is a little paternalistic, if the Minister will forgive me saying so, to say the laboratories are safe. We need to have it demonstrated. They are not ISO accredited. From where are they receiving accreditation? How is the Minister satisfied that they are safe? Will he agree that HIQA has an oversight role? We all need to put people's minds at rest and get rid of the paternalistic attitude.
