Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We are confident we will have the memorandum and the terms of reference to the Cabinet in the next couple of weeks but then we will need to approve people to serve on the panel, to be the chair and to serve on the inquiry. We hope to make progress on that quite soon. There will be a public element to it and nursing homes will be covered. It will, of course, be complicated in certain circumstances such as where litigation is under way. I am not sure it will be able to undertake inquiries where other inquires are happening or where litigation is under way but we will work all that out.
