Alan Kelly: Fine. Was the amendment Mr. O'Brien had to make to the statement given to us last night another honest mistake?
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Alan Kelly: I am not being personal, but there is a consistent series of errors. From the perspective of the general public and the taxpayer, some of the people in question are paid serious money, a lot more than people sitting on this side of the table, not that it matters. They are paid serious money, but there is no accountability for errors occurring at this level. Can Mr. O'Brien see why the...

Alan Kelly: That is actually positive to know. Has an apology been made to the whistleblower?
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Alan Kelly: In relation to the evidence given by the whistleblower. It was stated it was false and there were letters to the High Court. It was stated she was not going to be responsible enough in charge.
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Alan Kelly: Wait one second. The issue has been raised here as part of the process. Did Mr. O'Brien tell anybody in the HSE, for instance, to make an apology? Did they refuse and, if so, why?
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Alan Kelly: It is.

Alan Kelly: I do not have it right here this second. Perhaps I will ask the officials to look at it. On the statement made here on the funding of the agency which was spoken about as part of this process-----

Alan Kelly: Mr. O'Brien did. As part of that process, obviously, there is a review taking place. It is being conducted by a very credible agency for a long period. It is quite incredible that it is taking this length of time. Has Mr. O'Brien received a draft report from Deloitte?
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Alan Kelly: Has nobody in the HSE laid his or her eyes on a draft report from Deloitte, on a screen or otherwise?
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Alan Kelly: No. That is going to be interesting. Why do we not follow it up? On the Garda side of things, I might be able to help Mr. O'Brien. Deputy Josepha Madigan went through the chronology of letters to and from legal people, etc. Mr. O'Brien is saying that on 24 February there was a process whereby the HSE wrote to the solicitors to ask about engaging in publishing the report. Was there...

- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)

- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Alan Kelly: I was, actually. I was here for all of Mr. O'Brien's discussion.
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
