Seán Fleming: I am concluding now. As Mr. Connaghan is probably aware, the HSE and the State Claims Agency are scheduled to appear before the committee before the summer recess. There is a long-standing commitment precisely to discuss issues such as medical negligence and the State Claims Agency bill of €2.5 million. It is not all attributable to the HSE. That is already on the agenda as part of...

Seán Fleming: I thank Stephen and Vicky sincerely for telling us your story here today. We are grateful to listen to the harrowing stories.

We are here to listen and we have listened to the failures of the State and State institutions that resulted in the needless deaths of women. You are here, helping the Oireachtas and Government make sure...

Seán Fleming: I will ask Vicky and Stephen to hold responding to that because I want to call Deputy Jonathan O'Brien.
