Martin Conway (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will share my time with Deputy Griffin who is from the constituency and has worked extensively on this. I have considerable regard for Ms O'Connor and the work she does but, I have to say, what has been revealed here this morning in terms of a management structure is breathtaking. People were reporting to people but, clearly, no reporting was being done at all. The structure was so over-managed that it was not managed.

The most breathtaking revelation here is that individuals who had supervisors were only supervised when they requested such. Is that an accurate description? Where else in the HSE do we have a situation in which somebody is tasked with the responsibility of supervising people, but only do so when those people look for supervision? I have never heard of that type of situation existing anywhere. Will Ms O'Connor comment on that? How could it be described as being appropriate?
