The Taoiseach has confirmed that the expert group, chaired by Mr. Justice Seán Ryan, reported to the Department of Health last night and that that the Minister had not yet read the report. When does the Government expect to publish the report? Does the Taoiseach see a merit in publishing it in order that we can all have an input before the Cabinet takes a position on it?

We have run out of time.

As the Deputy is well aware from his experience, as with any other report, the Minister will read the report, reflect on it and bring it to the Government. It will be published when the Government decides what view it should take on what is contained in it.

Does the Taoiseach see merit in publishing it?

The Deputy need not worry; he will have plenty of time to consider the report which will be published. There will be plenty of time to discuss it and I am sure there will be plenty to discuss.

We want to help the Government.
