Catherine Connolly: The witness made that very clear and I accept that he made it clear when he attended his first meeting, for which we have the minutes.

Catherine Connolly: Alright.

Public Accounts Committee: HIQA: Governance and Management of Conflict of Interest Issues (19 Oct 2017)

Catherine Connolly: I want to go back to the minutes that are privileged. Has Mr. McEnery any difficulty in publishing those minutes subject to what he is saying is incorrect? Has he any difficulty in waiving his privilege in relation to those minutes? He was there.

Public Accounts Committee: HIQA: Governance and Management of Conflict of Interest Issues (19 Oct 2017)

Catherine Connolly: From all of the questions that have been asked so far I understand that the witness had one difficulty just.

Public Accounts Committee: HIQA: Governance and Management of Conflict of Interest Issues (19 Oct 2017)

Catherine Connolly: There is more than one difficulty.

Public Accounts Committee: HIQA: Governance and Management of Conflict of Interest Issues (19 Oct 2017)

It is possible that he does not have a role in it because he is an invited guest. He is, however, the head of HIQA and he attended a meeting. According to him the subsequent minutes are inaccurate.
