Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The Department itself is preparing an urgent brief that will facilitate Deputies also. This is an important point because assertions are being made. I welcome the fact that objectivity is being brought to this also.

I take what Deputy Naughten has said, that this is a broader issue with regard to other litigation relating to vaccines and other issues. The debate will be held tomorrow, with statements and questions and answers in the House. This has been facilitated.

Deputy Pringle raised issues that we discussed on Leaders' Questions earlier, with regard to some aspects of yesterday's announcement. There are time constraints on what can be achieved.
