I propose to take Questions Nos. 125 to 127, inclusive, together.
The inquiry referred to by the Deputy is ongoing and, subject to legal advice, it is my intention to publish its report when it comes to hand.
I have received proposals from Patient Focus, the group which represents former patients of Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, requesting the establishment of a redress board. I intend to meet with the group shortly to discuss their request. Following that meeting, I will consider the matter in consultation with Government colleagues.
The Garda authorities have informed my Department that the Garda Síochána has received a complaint and is conducting an investigation into the disappearances of a number of case files from Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda. The investigation is ongoing and, when concluded, a complete file will be forwarded to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for directions. As the Deputy will appreciate, it would be inappropriate to comment further on this matter.
