Paul Bradford (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach but I respect the Senator's right to intervene. I hope she is equally concerned. I am sure she is as concerned as I am about the outrageous allegations we have read about. I want to have the Minister in the House at the earliest possible stage to give an initial response but I hope we will support the call for a full inquiry. Frankly, I am not interested in the HSE being the investigator. I want to see the HSE investigated. I want the HSE brought before the Oireachtas committee. I want the Irish Family Planning Association and other clinics before the Oireachtas committee to answer questions. I want the members of that committee to listen to the transcripts and to view the available evidence because we cannot run away from this possible national scandal. If the boot were on the other foot, to use that phrase, there would be a much greater public and media outcry.
