Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I was told it was good engagement, and I believe lots of parties made suggestions. There were draft terms of reference, and an excellent independent chair has been appointed. We will need to keep these matters under review. We have had a history in this House of establishing statutory and non-statutory inquiries, and sometimes one has worked better than the other. The Dr. Gabriel Scally evaluation was non-statutory and got answers and, I think, won the confidence of many people who engaged with it. It will be for the next government to continue to monitor this closely.
