I have asked the following question before, but I would like an update on it. When will the audit recommence? There are ongoing issues if it is not continued. We will all be responsible if it does not recommence because it could potentially result in other issues being delayed because it is not happening. Can we have some urgency in that regard, given that carrying out the audit is good practice?

While this does not relate to any specific case, obviously, there have been legal cases and liability and errors have been admitted.

I have great confidence, having heard Dr. Scally say the laboratories are safe. I read the report and questioned him on it. I agree wholeheartedly with the Minister that it is very important that everyone here acknowledge that. However, I presume that in the individual cases where errors were found and admitted, the HSE has been in contact with the laboratories, flown over and investigated what has gone on. That would be normal practice in every other scenario.
