Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Shane Cassells: I welcome the director general of the HSE and the other witnesses.

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Shane Cassells: I will try to explore that in a different way.

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Shane Cassells: We are again going round the houses to try to get to simple facts, as was the case with the very first question regarding written statements.

- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Financial Statements 2015 and 2016
Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Shane Cassells: Should not be named. I will use Mr. O'Brien's language as it is a better way of doing business.
