Gillian Toole (IND), Meath East

Go raibh maith agat, a Thaoisigh. I thank the Taoiseach for the comprehensive reminder of the evaluation committee and the members thereof. I have the height of respect and admiration for Professor Anne Scott, who is quite near me, and has vast years of experience across a broad range of medical disciplines. My question is quite simple. If there is not an inquiry, will the Government expand the scope or terms of reference? This is in relation to the protected disclosure, in particular. As I raised previously, it was first logged in July 2025. The milestones for dealing with it have been exceeded. It was passed to An Garda Síochána and Fiosrú and is integral to the remit of the evaluation committee, but it seems to have fallen into limbo. If we are to assess what has happened and safeguard the future, every submission is of the highest value.
