Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

Has the Minister expressed a view to the HSE as to who she believes would be good for the job? She indicated her view that Professor Tom Keane would be a good candidate for the position. We all probably regret that he did not take the job. I am not trying to be vexatious and I put my questions in a positive rather than negative manner. Given that the Minister has experience of many other health systems from visits she has made to other countries, during which I am sure she has met Irish people working in the health services of various countries, has she suggested the names of any individuals who would be good for the job of chief executive officer of the HSE?
