Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and Children's Health Ireland: Discussion (22 May 2025)

Aidan Farrelly: I ask the witnesses to follow up on the piece around the legal costs. There seems to be some ambiguity between what is in the C and AG’s report versus what has been said here today, that if the CHI instigated a mediation process, incurred legal costs associated with that process, and the person was still employed in the role. I would appreciate clarity if there were legal fees...
