The particular issues referred to by the deputy are operational in nature and are a matter to be dealt with directly by the HSE. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the HSE for attention and direct reply. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, please contact my private office and they will follow up the matter with them.
