I propose to take Questions Nos. 327 and 329 together.

Officials in my Department are considering the terms of reference for the proposed inquiry into the historical licensing and use of sodium valproate in Ireland, as well as the establishment of a stakeholder group to address ongoing concerns relating to the use of this drug.
