Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Seán Crowe: Just on that, people have expressed frustration. We have gone into it in detail and there is the delay in getting the document and so on. It is not satisfactory and I think the Minister accepts that. He said at the start the meeting he was willing to come back. Would he be able to come back at a later date in relation to this? I do not want to put it to a vote today. It will end up in a...

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Seán Crowe: The difficulty is getting the room. That is the big challenge. If we go on the Tuesday, it means the subcommittee on mental health cannot have its meeting that it has already lined up speakers for. It is facilitating that. That is why I was suggesting Tuesday. Our meeting next week is not due to start until 10 a.m. because of prior engagements of the two individuals who are coming in....

The decision to close is mind boggling. It would...
