Verona Murphy: I asked whether the brief that was provided to the Attorney General for this report – he probably received it in the past fortnight – was going to be made available publicly, to this committee or to elected representatives. I do not have much time. I am being cursory and candid. I am asking a binary question. Is the brief, as provided to the Attorney General, available to...

Chapter 12 - Financial Impact of Cyber Security Attack (9 Feb 2023)

Verona Murphy: Okay. The Attorney General's report is 192 paragraphs long, so I find it extraordinary that the issue we are discussing – people who paid for private nursing home care because they could not get public beds – is not addressed in it. This is the real issue. What is addressed is the strategy that was employed to avoid repaying the illegal charges or, as Mr. Watt says, for...

Verona Murphy: It was not really addressed. All that was addressed was the fact it was ultra vires. The actions following that were to have seen people be repaid. That was the recommendation.

Verona Murphy: Fintan O'Toole published an article. In 2004, a letter was prepared by the then Department of Health and Children - by its board, as it is put in the newspaper - that its Secretary General was supposed to send to the Attorney General asking for advice. The minutes of the meeting record that it was signed and sent by the Secretary General of the time, but it never happened in 2004. Mr. Watt...

Verona Murphy: No. There were not issues. There is a minuted record from the Department's management committee, which prepared a letter for the Attorney General asking for a definitive ruling. The draft was sent to the Secretary General for his signature and the committee's minutes record in March of 2004 that the letter had been signed and sent. It was not, and nobody has ever explained it. May I have...
