Ms Laverne McGuinness:

Mr. Conlon's legal representatives, in a letter dated 25 June 2014 to the director general and in media statements, have called for alleged errors in the interim administrator's report to be corrected.
The alleged factual errors in the body of the report were examined and a comprehensive response was issued by the HSE to Mr. Conlon's legal representatives on 2 July. The points raised are disputed and no change has been made to the report. It has also been stated in the response by the HSE that, although presented as errors, the points made are more in the nature of cavils and, as such, even if their validity were accepted in toto, they would not alter the narrative of the report, the report's conclusions or the report's recommendations.
Mr. Conlon raised two points in regard to the appendices to the report. It should be noted that the appendices as presented in the report are exactly as found - that is, a true copy as they have been presented and they have not been altered by the interim administrator in any way. The source of each appendix is also identifiable. It is, therefore, not strictly necessary to revisit the appendices. However, for the purposes of absolute clarity, the word "February" is now redacted in line 2, paragraph 3, page 57, appendix 21 and Mr. Conlon's name is redacted under the headings of remuneration committee, CRC and CEO, Friends and Supporters of the CRC on page 71, appendix 27. The HSE's website version of the report will now incorporate these redactions.

I can make this piece available to the committee.
