In fairness, I am entitled to use privilege from time to time and when it comes to someone who was responsible for many billions of euro of the public's money and wasting it, I will use his or her name as often as is necessary. I have no apology to make to anybody for bringing into the public domain a report that has implications for the women of Ireland.

Senator O'Keeffe stated, in a heckle directed at my Sinn Féin colleague, that the consultants would be consulted in this review. Moreover, Senator O'Keeffe has said that everything is on the table. While the Minister says it has no status, Senator O'Keeffe has stated that everything is being reviewed and that this is what one must do. She also stated the consultants would be consulted. While that is great, as normal, the Government, the HSE and its agencies forget to consult the most important people, namely, the people of Ireland themselves.
