Departmental Records. (23 Feb 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The Taoiseach did not indicate to me the extent to which material was withheld, consequent on the absence of sufficient space to accommodate the release of material this year. At least this has been reported and I do not note any contradiction in that regard in the Taoiseach's earlier replies.

Hospital Procedures. (23 Feb 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for this opportunity to raise this matter on the Adjournment of the House but it is a disgrace on the part of the Government that we should have to return to the issue of symphysiotomy by way of an Adjournment debate.
