Yet again, I have to raise with the Taoiseach the scandal of mothers who were prescribed Epilim - the valproate scandal. An inquiry was promised, as the Taoiseach will be aware, more than two years ago. Last week, we saw yet another multi-million euro court settlement in regard to this. Can the Taoiseach please give these families a timeline for when this inquiry will start? They have waited far too long. They have waited decades for this to happen. To leave them hanging on like this is grossly unjust. It is injustice on top of injustice. Can the Taoiseach please tell me when will the inquiry start?
