Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have absolute confidence. The Committee of Public Accounts is an independent committee. It has its own authority. The HSE will respond to requests that come from the Committee of Public Accounts. It is obliged to do so. I have no doubt about that. The Committee of Public Accounts does not rely on suggestions or directions from me. It is an independent powerful committee of this House. Its independence and capacity to call people is absolutely established and I am sure the HSE will respond.
