Patrick O'Donovan (Limerick County, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I did not interrupt the Deputy and I ask that she not try to shout me down. As I said, this is an isolated issue.

I am confident, as the Minister of State with responsibility for the OPW, having come in to the organisation last July and having reviewed the work, that the OPW is a modern, progressive and fit for purpose organisation. This is an issue but I am dealing with it. The commissioners and the chairman are dealing with it. I have given a commitment to the House. The landlord has given an opportunity. I cannot tell the House when the acting chief medical officer will allow face-to-face meetings, but when that happens I will be back to the Deputy with a reply as soon as possible.
