I concur with all of my colleagues on the aforementioned in that we do have to have accountability. There are many issues on which we would like answers through a question and answer session. Yesterday I partook in a HSE briefing that lasted for two hours. In the first 45 minutes, only two Deputies had asked questions. It is not acceptable and I would prefer to see the Dáil sitting, showing the people that we are able to practise what many of our front-line staff have to practise on a daily basis. The recommendations are in place, we are perfectly capable and it is badly needed at this time.
