Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

Following publication of the Lourdes Hospital Inquiry Report in February last my Department furnished An Garda Síochána with a copy of the report. I have no function in relation to the action, if any, which the Garda authorities may take in relation to this matter.
