Lucinda Creighton (Dublin South East, Renua Ireland) | Oireachtas source

The first item on the agenda was baby Mark Molloy and the reporting relationship. No minutes of the meeting are available but it is documented and it did occur. How can Mr. O'Brien say that he is not responsible, that he was not there and that he had nothing to do with it? We know that other deaths occurred in 2013 after these appeals by the Molloys to Mr. O'Brien as director general of the HSE. How can Mr. O'Brien say that he is not responsible and how can he not feel in any way accountable for these occurrences? I cannot comprehend how he can suggest he is not responsible given that he was directly written to on a number of occasions and he attended meetings where this issue was addressed and nothing happened.
