Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

It is not our intention to sever the relationship with St. John of God. Our aim is to ensure St. John of God addresses the issues it has, including its governance issues, and to look at the way we and it interact together in order that we can continue to provide the services and the staff can continue to be employed. We would not want to say anything here that might upset either a family or the staff. This needs to be fixed and we need to move on.
