Nurses and Midwives Industrial Action: Statements (7 Feb 2019)

Alan Kelly: That shows the real issues. The staff are working in environments in which they simply do not have enough space or nurses. There are real issues in recruitment. A range of vacancies in Limerick have not been filled. Two weeks ago with other Oireachtas Members from County Tipperary I met management of the HSE and South Tipperary General Hospital where one of the modular units is to be...

Nurses and Midwives Industrial Action: Statements (7 Feb 2019)

Alan Kelly: It has been a difficult week for the Minister for Health, Deputy Simon Harris. I do not say that in jest. I hope he is going to take very seriously the concerns raised yesterday by the paramedics and doctors because, along with the nurses, they comprise the bedrock of our health service. I am glad the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Paschal Donohoe, is sitting beside the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Feb 2019)

Alan Kelly: I will leave to the Chair the methodology by which the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform comes in here. It is necessary for the Secretary General of the Department to come in and I suspect he wants to come in, to one committee or another. The head of procurement, who sat on the board, should also come in. It is only through this that we can get to the bottom of where this was...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Feb 2019)

Alan Kelly: The board was reporting to the steering group, which reported to the other board, the one which had been set up by Mr. Jim Breslin. The steering group was set up in May and the other board in September. They obviously had concerns back then or they would not have put in these layers of accountability. It was confirmed to me at yesterday's health committee meeting that attempts were made...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Feb 2019)

Alan Kelly: I am glad you said that but does it not depend on the way this was set up under the legislation, and on how the board was incorporated?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Feb 2019)

Alan Kelly: That is my point.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Feb 2019)

Alan Kelly: My understanding is that this does not apply in relation to how it was incorporated. It was incorporated under health legislation.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Feb 2019)

Alan Kelly: I cannot remember the name of it.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Feb 2019)

Alan Kelly: There is old health legislation, under which this was incorporated. Company law does not apply, which means that what the Taoiseach said, though it was probably inadvertently, was inaccurate. It would mean that this circular does apply to the board. Would that be the understanding of the Comptroller and Auditor General?
