Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jan 2016)

John Deasy: Great. Thank you.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jan 2016)

John Deasy: I will start it off anyway. All the members will be aware that we received a report from the HSE. The main reason it was sent to members is contained in the last couple of pages. The issue is an apology to what they refer to as the "service users" of the foster home in the south east, in respect of which there have been allegations of very serious sexual abuse. It also addresses the poor...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jan 2016)

John Deasy: The answer to the Deputy's question is they are being treated appallingly.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jan 2016)

John Deasy: The Deputy has asked a question that probably should have been asked a long time ago but was not. I have contact with the individual in question and it is clear it has been a nightmare dealing with the HSE, on a professional level, in a number of ways. This particular individual is tough, however, and she is a person of conviction regarding what happened and what needs to be done. It has...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jan 2016)

John Deasy: We started all this as a result of the amount being spent on reports compiled by former HSE employees. Recommendations were made by the HSE and sent to the Department of Health. Where are they? Two months later, they have not seen the light of day. What is going on there? The lack of urgency about this across the board is stunning. A senior counsel is examining the terms of reference....

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jan 2016)

John Deasy: Is it a meeting with the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jan 2016)

John Deasy: We should do it. One issue that has not been dealt with is the set-back distance of wind turbines, which the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources deals with. We could ask about it. It is reasonable. I am flagging it.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jan 2016)

John Deasy: The set-back distance is 500 m and there is a suggestion that it be extended to 700 m. The Department is preparing reports, but no decision has been made. It is a point of contention between the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources. A resolution is needed.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Jan 2016)

John Deasy: I do not want to repeat myself, but we had discussed a report which was sent to the Committee of Public Accounts by the HSE in which it said that a formal apology had been made to the birth mother and to the client of the organisation. The Irish Examinercovered the story and the committee received a two-page rebuttal from the HSE which denied that an apology had not been given. It is clear...

John Deasy: Sorry?
