Anne Rabbitte (Galway East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for quite rightly giving us the opportunity to have this discussion. It is more than six months since I travelled to Carrick-on-Shannon to meet with parents - from what I understand, they represented many more parents - and public representatives. HSE representatives were present at the meeting on the day. When I reflect on it, we had a very good conversation. There was real energy in the room. My script does not reflect what I am about to say.
