Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I thank Deputy Tóibín for his question. He raised Mrs. Bartley-Meehan yesterday evening in the debate on the health Bill giving new powers to HIQA to go into private and voluntary nursing homes and to access details. The Bill is a direct response to the expert panel that was put in place during that horrendous time for many people in nursing homes. I met Mrs. Bartley-Meehan in person and worked with her on a couple of issues but I will not discuss them here on the floor of the Dáil. In response to the Deputy's substantive question, that is a decision for the Government.
