David Cullinane: She had it but could not share it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)
David Cullinane: I had raised this first. I had asked that we write to the HSE to request a copy of the audit. I fully appreciate the request that we do not discuss someone in detail for the reason the Chair gave that it is subject to a Garda investigation and some of the individuals involved have a right to protection as well so I have no difficulty with that. The one thing I took from the audit itself...

David Cullinane: -----problem was the paper work. There were no invoices. There was a lack of transparency around the process which is a matter for us. That is a Committee of Public Accounts issue.

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)
David Cullinane: I raised this matter with the Accounting Officer when he came here. I was not satisfied with the response and it was obvious that the matter was never really followed up. Two service providers are involved and we asked how much each of them received. We were told that we could not get such information even though one knew what the other was getting because the overall amount was given,...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)
David Cullinane: I wish to declare that I have met a prison officer who also works in Mountjoy Prison. That prison officer wants to make a protected disclosure. The matter concerned seems very similar to the issues that have been raised. As soon as I get the disclosure I will forward it to the committee. I will talk to the secretariat on how that can be done. It seems that there are issues and we have...

David Cullinane: I want to separate out a couple of issues in my head. I agree with Teachta Kelly's analysis. Regarding these emails, we had two polar opposite viewpoints at the same committee meeting from individuals within two different organisations.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)
David Cullinane: Yes. One being the State Claims Agency and the second being CervicalCheck. They were polar opposite views. Mr. Gleeson was strident in his view that the SCA was never told that all women had been informed. This was not just a miscommunication around a misinterpretation of the meaning of what was said. His view is that, as Teachta O'Brien said, there was no conversation and there was no...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)
David Cullinane: That concerns me. I could put it a different way but I want to be careful in what I say. It troubles me that we heard from two organisations that had polar opposite views on what is a very sensitive issue. Conveniently — if I can use that word — we now have a mutually agreed position. As I simply do not accept that at face value, I believe Mr. Gleeson has to appear before us...
