The article details ongoing tensions in the Dáil over the government's response to leaked draft audit findings regarding potentially unnecessary surgeries dating back to 2010. Social Democrats and Sinn Féin voice discontent over communication lapses, suggesting families affected by the surgeries are being inadequately informed. Taoiseach Mr. Martin defends his position by arguing for a need for facts, criticizing political tactics while expressing concern for past wrongdoings. He insists the forthcoming audit report will provide clarity on the issues raised.
"The letters specifically refer to an early recommendation from the audit and therefore had to do with what it was finding. Families were being put on notice."
"It's horrendous if anything wrong was done. I can't force the pace."
"Angry tactics is par for the course from you," Mr. Martin retorted, emphasizing the Government was focused on waiting for the audit report.
"The audit was a mission to find the facts, as to whether actions took place that were untoward."
