- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Catherine Murphy: Between the HSE and the Garda. What is the first point at which there is formal engagement?
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Catherine Murphy: I find it quite difficult to figure out the different individuals, H7, H6 and H4. Who was actually on this panel; was it H7, H3 and H12? It does matter because it is about who actually made the decision or was on the panel that made the decision. Originally it was said that there was a three-person panel, none of whom remained in the public service. Obviously we know different now. This...

Catherine Murphy: Yes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Catherine Murphy: For me, that is not at all clear. It is the people who actually made the decision. I was not on the Committee of Public Accounts at that point and Mr. O'Brien is trying to go back in retrospect.

Catherine Murphy: Mr. O'Brien has come back to us with clarifications this week and has explained why he did not identify one of the individuals as still working within the public service. He relied on the information within the system, which is not a reliable mechanism given that, as he told us, a different staff number is allocated each time somebody has a new engagement. Is the system capable of searching...

Catherine Murphy: Was that a data protection issue?
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Catherine Murphy: It is a key issue to identify the individuals, particularly if, had they been identified, HR disciplinary action would have followed. Each of the individuals named would have been given a copy of those reports prior to their publication. I presume it is the case that they would have had sight of the report.
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Catherine Murphy: In respect of best practice in this matter, the production of the reports has identified very significant shortcomings. It seems that those significant shortcomings were then put into cold storage, by virtue of the fact that there was a Garda investigation, of which they were not the subject, although they may well have been an ancillary part. That prevented the HSE from taking the...

Catherine Murphy: If there is a failure, there is a prospect of that failure continuing into other cases, for example.

Catherine Murphy: I wish to return to the questions regarding disciplinary action. Mr. O'Brien has said he looked into the whites of their eyes and reckoned it had been a monumental cock-up. To whom was he referring? I am not asking him to name people.

Catherine Murphy: Was any disciplinary action taken against the ten or 11 people who would have been the decision-makers in the provision of services for Grace? Obviously, she was almost tortured over a protracted period.
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)

Catherine Murphy: Was there disciplinary action?
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Catherine Murphy: The HSE identified all of those people and potentially there will be disciplinary action.
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Catherine Murphy: I understand there is a process.

Catherine Murphy: If they were all identified, could they not have been asked at the time if they were still working in the public service or Tusla? There was an exhaustive search through the payroll system. Would it not have been better just to ask people directly?
