HSE General Director Tony O'Brien has announced that he will be stepping down from his role at the beginning of July.
It was initially stated that he would step down at the end of July, but he will now leave four weeks earlier due to untaken annual leave days, as was revealed on The Week In Politics.

Tony O'Brien has held the position since 2013, and earlier this week at the Oireachtas Health Committee, he announced that he intended to use the remainder of his time with the organisation to focus on the cervical cancer issue.

Louise O'Reilly also spoke at length about her position on the referendum:
