Dr. Siobhán O'Halloran:

In 2011, a staff member of the Oireachtas contacted a principal officer in the Department in relation to the impersonation of a doctor by Mr. Kelly in the late 1980s in a Dublin hospital. The principal officer in question subsequently tried to ascertain the facts but, as the hospital had closed, this became difficult. In that instance, the principal officer invited Mr. Kelly to the Department to discus the matter. The single item discussed at that meeting was the impersonation as a doctor; there was no reference to any financial or governance matters. It was ascertained at that meeting that Mr. Kelly had impersonated a doctor in a Dublin hospital in the late 1980s. The probation Act had been served at that point in time. Mr. Kelly gave the explanation of his activity having been a prank in this student days. The matter was in the public domain. At that point, it was 30 years old. That was the extent of the involvement of the Department in that matter at that time.
