Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (16 Jan 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: The most abiding concern here is that old-fashioned notion of honesty and truthfulness. As a committee, we must get to the bottom of this by bringing in all the parties. What is at issue here is that a meeting took place in February at which this package was signed off, that transaction being subsequently described as a donation.

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (16 Jan 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: The interim administrator must have been aware that there was a February meeting because he has given it in his letter. There must be a basis, a documentary for him stating that there was a February meeting. Whatever documentation he has, he might provide it to us today?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (16 Jan 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: I thank the witnesses for attending the meeting. Let us get down to the bread and butter. Will Mr. O'Brien outline the sticking points in regard to St. Vincent's? It strikes me as somewhat peculiar that Mr. Jermyn might become group CEO but will still be dealing with the public hospital.

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (16 Jan 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: If it transpires that Mr. Jermyn becomes group CEO, is it not the case that he will, in effect, be both group CEO and CEO separately of the private hospital and will, therefore, have a CEO of the public hospital reporting to him? If his overall income is in excess of €136,282, will the HSE regard St. Vincent's as being in breach of public pay guidelines?

Will it advertise for the post of CEO of the public hospital?

Clearly, the group is now in discussions with the HSE. Why all the secrecy? Why was a dawn raid made on Christmas Eve in the context of the announcement?
