Public Accounts Committee

HSE Financial Statements 2015 and 2016
Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016

9:00 am

Mr. Tony O'Brien:

The position is as I clarified at the most recent meeting of this committee that I attended and has not changed. I identified a group of people about whom I had specific concerns when I read the Devine report and I reported that to this committee at the beginning of February 2016. I indicated then and until quite recently that it was my understanding that they had all retired or left the public service. I corrected that on the day before my most recent appearance before this committee by saying that I had new information in regard to one of those people that indicated that he or she was still engaged in the public service. The person was working for Tusla. There are others outside of those five who are mentioned in the Devine report as having some role in this general matter and who are also still in public service.
