Micheál Martin (Cork South-Central, Fianna Fail)

No, but there has been engagement. My understanding is that there is a pathway, but I would obviously prefer if the team in CHI communicated with the family. My understanding is that prior to coming in this afternoon, progress was made in respect of the case. I will follow up on this, and I know the Minister is here as well. There is a pathway, hopefully in the shorter term. In the first instance, the clinical nurse was in touch or will be in touch with the family today - hopefully by the time I have spoken today - and there will be follow-through. I do not have the full background to the case or its complexity.
