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

Who is responsible for it? Obviously it is the clinician who made the mistake, carried out the hearing tests and either failed to diagnose or ensure the children and people affected had the proper follow-up. It is not about Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael or Micheál Martin or Simon Harris. I know that the Deputy tries to turn everything into a political attack, but, of course, accountability lies with the person who actually made the mistake - the clinician who did not do their job properly and did not carry out the test correctly-----
