I suppose the point I was trying to make concerned accountability in public service, which many Senators raised today. Very often politicians are held accountable by the electorate in every cycle but although we have brilliant civil and public servants in this country, we also have civil and public servants who are not held accountable. The women of Ireland deserve answers. We heard the alarming interview this morning from Ms Emma Mhic Mhathúna and it sent shivers down everybody's spine. We all have sisters, wives, cousins, friends and other women who deserve better than the answers they are receiving this morning at the Committee of Public Accounts from the leadership team in the Health Service Executive.
