Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion
Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion

Mr. Liam Woods:

Let me stay with the 2018 issues which are what I believe the Deputy is talking about. I can recall clearly a report in September. Clearly, that is included in the records of the board and can be made available. There would have been earlier discussions and advice, perhaps even a report; I would have to look back at the records to be sure, but I am not saying there was not. Substantively, with regard to the concerns to which the Deputy is referring, related to the €450 million piece on which he has just concluded, September was certainly a time that it would have been known to a board member. The extended period was requested to do further work on it.
