Brendan Ryan (Labour)

I would not wish for anything else to damage the PDs but I am entertained by the fact that on the same street as its offices there is a premises called Gormleys. I wonder did the PDs get a little cross, miss the target and hit their own premises instead of Gormleys because I cannot help being amused by the coincidence of names.

Yesterday morning a number of Members said they would welcome the Medical Council's investigation into the consultants who investigated Dr. Neary. There is a much more profound question here about the Medical Council and how it agreed to a procedure that enabled Dr. Neary to select the cases his investigators would examine. That relates to another question, that of the mystique of self-regulating professions, whether it be the legal profession or the medical profession. I would like us to have a debate on the appropriateness of these self-regulating professions.
