Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As I mentioned to the Deputy yesterday, the second question on the Order Paper is a Priority Question tabled by a competent man, the Sinn Féin spokesman on health, Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin, and concerns that issue. The question reads "To ask the Minister for Health if he will set out in full the circumstances in which he appointed a founder and 50% shareholder in a private health consultancy firm as chairperson of the West-North West Hospitals Group which subsequently awarded a contract to said firm; if the potential conflict of interest was known to him when he appointed the person and, if not, when he became aware of same; the date on which he became aware of the breach of the financial procedures of his Department in the awarding of the contract; the further steps he has taken since the resignation of the person concerned; if he has considered his own position; and if he will make a statement on the matter". If the spokesperson, Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin, has issues arising from it, he can follow up on them with the Minister for Health. Perhaps Deputy Gerry Adams might communicate more clearly with him.
