Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

If I may, I did not interrupt.
Experience tells me that when we ask someone to do an external audit independent of politicians and Government, we should just let them finish their work and have the totality of their work available for us to assess, and then take action based on that. Of course, that audit has to be shared with the public, the parents, in the first instance, and the patients. There is always follow-up of children who have surgery for this particular condition and that follow-up would take place right into their teenage years, the ages of 14, 15 and 16.
