I thank the Tánaiste for his kind words. I appreciate them. The Bill is extremely important. I am delighted to hear that it will move to Committee Stage next week. The right of citizens to have access to their information and for nothing to be hidden from them is critical. It is the be all and end all of everything that came out of the Scally report. I absolutely feel that in honour of Vicky Phelan and many other people, including Ruth Morrissey, who was treated very badly by the State, we need to ensure that the Bill completes its passage this term. Will the Tánaiste make a commitment, if at all possible and working with all of us on this side of the House, to the effect that the Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019 will be brought into law before the summer?
