I apologise to the Deputy Leader for being unable to be present for the statements on the care home yesterday evening. My one question, which the Deputy Leader might put to the Minister as something that would form part of any inquiry, is to establish in some way why staff acted like that. It is unbelievable that so many coalesced in that and as to why the staff acted like that, I heard someone on "Morning Ireland" suggest they simply were there for too long. However, feedback in this respect will be important to ensure this culture will never be repeated. The question on everyone's mind at present is, in how many other places is this going on? I was really pleased to hear the Ombudsman, Mr. Tyndall, speaking on radio this morning. He has a huge amount to offer this country-----
