GSOC and excess deaths replies
Mattie McGrath and Alan Kelly pressed their separate questions, with the Chair asking the Minister to address both. The Minister said prosecutions could not be discussed in the Dáil and suggested legislation might provide an opportunity to raise Kelly’s concerns; excess deaths could be discussed through the Business Committee. The House then agreed the arrangements.
Regarding what Deputy Kelly raised, a decision to prosecute or not cannot be discussed in the Dáil, unfortunately.
