It is testament to what has become the normal contempt with which the HSE and its instruments, individuals and subsidiaries hold the political establishment. The situation must change and this House, if not the other House, must begin to take action to show that respect for the officers acting on behalf of the small "p" is required, as they represent the interests of the large "p", the people, and the State. Without that, we have nothing.
