Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 January 2005
294 Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reasons for terminating the suspensions of persons (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1636/05]
View answerI reviewed the suspensions of the persons concerned on 23 December 2004 and decided, based on legal advice and pursuant to the powers conferred on me as Minister for Health and Children by section 22(3) of the Health Act 1970, to terminate the suspensions with effect from that date. My decision is without prejudice to the outcome of any legal or disciplinary proceedings relating to the suspensions and, in these circumstances, I am unable to comment further.
