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

I understand there is legislation in train in respect of the mandatory reporting issue under the patient safety Bill. I will come back to the Deputy in terms of the timelines around that. It is beyond comprehension what has occurred here, from what I have read. My understanding is the Garda is still pursuing the matter, and that takes precedence over decisions that Ministers or the Government may take. There is an urgent need also to facilitate access for the families to the essentials contained in the report as they have been kept in the dark for far too long. This is a shocking situation and we will certainly continue to pursue it.
