- Public Accounts Committee: Deloitte Report on Cost of Care in Grace Case (26 Oct 2017)
Catherine Connolly: Good. I just want it clarified. Lots of things have been said over many years. Mr. O'Brien's conclusion has been very ably gone into by Deputy Cullinane. Mr. O'Brien's letter dated 26 September 2017 was sent to Mr. Lenihan. Mr. O'Brien speaks directly about the Deloitte report when he states, "Consequently, the Service Provider was not treated either unfairly or disproportionately when...

- Public Accounts Committee: Deloitte Report on Cost of Care in Grace Case (26 Oct 2017)
Catherine Connolly: Good. A case was taken on that person's behalf. We are not going into any of that. As part of the settlement a figure in or around €600,000 was allocated, as part of an overall package, for her care in the previous years, to pay for the care that she had received. Is that right?
- Public Accounts Committee: Deloitte Report on Cost of Care in Grace Case (26 Oct 2017)
Catherine Connolly: Good. Is Mr. O'Brien seriously telling the Committee of Public Accounts today that the health executive provided sufficient funding for the care of Grace, in that service provider, from 2009 onwards, and that the HSE magnanimously gave €600,000 on top of that in addition to providing for her? Is that what he is telling us?
- Public Accounts Committee: Deloitte Report on Cost of Care in Grace Case (26 Oct 2017)
Catherine Connolly: Does Mr. O'Brien accept that the health executive did not provide sufficient funding for this service provider for the very special case and very special person that they had under their care?

I read from that, as would any person listening or watching, the retrospective allocation was made because insufficient funding had been provided for her care, from the health executive to the service provider. Does Mr. O'Brien now...
