View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 95 and 96 together.
Members of the Government would have had meetings with Professor Drumm and other representatives of the Health Service Executive on a regular basis in the normal course of business. However, neither the Taoiseach nor I nor any other members of the Government had meetings or discussions with Professor Drumm or the other person concerned during the course of the work of the Task Group that was established to advise on the optimum location for the new national paediatric hospital, in relation to the work or decision of the Group.
