-----not necessarily to close down the meeting but available if they are willing to allow us to speak to them.

We are agreed on this. People will ask why the Committee of Public Accounts is following this matter. We were dealing with this as a result of the 2016 financial statements and following through these contracts. The committee had good reason to test the evidence of the witnesses from the HSE. We had verification from a number of people including Vicky Phelan and the State Claims Agency. We now find that the evidence given in public session by the HSE to this committee does not stand up. That is an issue which the committee has to address. We must make it clear to all witnesses coming before the PAC that their information has to be accurate. We cannot just get a letter stating the issues have been resolved.
