Mr. Barry O'Brien:

The committee will be aware that there was a hearing at which the CRC attended and gave evidence. Our director general took immediate steps following that meeting. That was well documented and publicised. On 18 December 2013, Mr. Cregan was appointed as the internal administrator in the CRC. At the time, we also gave a number of commitments to the Committee of Public Accounts that, following Mr. Conlan's resignation, we would immediately seek to fill the next CEO post by the Public Appointments Service, which is a matter in hand, and also on the issue of replacing the board. This is part of the commitments the HSE gave the Committee of Public Accounts as to how it would ensure the stabilisation of the CRC and ensure that its absolutely essential services and the work that all the staff are doing continued, but also bring absolute clarity to the governance of the organisation.
