Public Accounts Committee

Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

It is unusual. I would have cleared the 2021 financial statements in December of 2022. However, there were two areas where additional information needed to be provided - additional back-up, effectively - for the figures that were in the financial statements. That related to the commitments figure and to these claims. We basically went to and fro for a significant number of months trying to settle on, if you like, sufficient support for the information that was being presented in the financial statements.
