The Deputy should put the questions so that Deputy O'Connell can get in.

I have a question for Mr. Sullivan. He is the deputy director general and head of strategy and planning. Future capital investment is generally planned five years ahead. This year a three-year plan has been released ten months late. Can Mr. Sullivan say on the record whether the delivery time of any capital project related to the HSE anywhere in Ireland been impacted by the spend on the hospital? That is my second last question.

My last question is for the chairman of the board. I asked this at our last meeting but I wish to put it on the record. The minutes of a meeting on 3 April state that a presentation was made by the design team to the finance and construction committee. It was reported that provisional findings had identified additional monetary risk. I asked for the presentation and for the minutes of the procurement subcommittee on 29 April. Mr. Barry said he would not supply us with the complete report but he would redact it and supply the minutes. They have not yet been received. Can he please provide them? Those two questions were directed to Mr. Sullivan.

In response to Deputy Connolly the witnesses said they would outline the scope of the work of Q4 Public Relations. I wish to echo that request. The documents the witnesses supply must predate today. They cannot be written up now.
