Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)
Annie Hoey (Labour) | Oireachtas source
Deputy Shortall asked about the golden share. Yesterday, my colleague, Deputy Duncan Smith, asked if this was a good model which the Minister would recommend. It seemed that he was like "Yeah, this seems to be a great idea, a Minister having a golden share." I am somewhat jokingly paraphrasing but he sort of said that this is a good model for a hospital and implied that it was a good model for other things. Do the witnesses agree it is a good model for a healthcare setting or, from a legal perspective, for the State going forward in relation to capital investment?
