I do. As Senator Fitzgerald and others said, the buck must stop somewhere. I support the call to invite the Minister for Health and Children to explain matters further.
Perhaps we should hasten slowly on Seanad reform. Much could be done, but let us see how the Dáil is reformed. Much of what the sub-committee on Dáil reform deals with relates to procedural matters and how it can improve its use of time. We can take some actions immediately, particularly to deal with topical matters. I am sure our Committee on Procedure and Privileges, CPP, has this in mind and will take it up. Let us wait and see.
