Public Accounts Committee

Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016

9:00 am

Mr. Tony O'Brien:

I will ask the guidance of the Chair in a moment. I let Deputy Cullinane know that I will do that. If one looks at paragraph 4.4.15, it describes in greater detail the case conference on 24 October and goes beyond the "H" references in the other paragraph, so let us be clear that the meeting had participants other than the three Deputy Cullinane listed. Also, to be clear, the interaction with the Deputy to which Deputy Cullinane has referred was quite difficult. When one follows the transcript, it is quite difficult because of the number of interruptions and the question appeared to change quite a lot as we went through. I was very mindful of that when rereading the transcript. I am very clear that what I was explaining to the committee - in circumstances where I could not use any H numbers or share the document - who, in my opinion based on reading the report, I had the greatest concerns about. A reading of the transcript will bear that out. However, if the Chair is of the opinion that I should tell the committee where H6 works, I will.
