I note that the Minister has again expressed his confidence in Mr. Tony O'Brien today and I think that is incredible. Can the Minister assure this House that Mr. O'Brien had no involvement in the awarding of the CervicalCheck contract to a US company? Furthermore-----

That is not a valid question on promised legislation.

In the context, of course it is.

It is not.

Of course it is.

It is not.

This is very important. Can the Minister also-----

Of course it is very important, but these are questions on promised legislation.

Of course it is, and this is the most important legislation of all.

It is not a question for this section.

Are we going to let our citizens die? It is the healthcare of our women, children and families. Can the Minister further assure the Dáil and myself that neither Mr. O'Brien nor any of his family members were investors involved in that same US company? Will he call in the fraud squad to investigate this if he is not sure and certain about the answers, because this is beyond belief and the fraud squad should be in? These people should be forensically investigated.

Deputy Mattie McGrath has just made a number of charges about Mr. O’Brien.

I asked questions.

It is up to the Ceann Comhairle to adjudicate on whether they are appropriate and are the kinds of points that should be made on the Order of Business. I will leave that with him.

With regard to how we are dealing with these matters, we are interested in trying to understand further what has happened here.

We are not.

We are trying to deal with issues regarding the safety and health of our citizens, the women who are scared today. That is the agenda of the Government.

We are talking about corruption.

Please.

It is not our agenda to stand up here on a daily basis seeking to gain political advantage from great private tragedy and anguish.

We are looking for the truth.
