Financial Statements 2023: Beaumont Hospital Board (9 Oct 2025) Séamus McGrath: I understand that but there is, for the want of a better word, a whiff around it in terms of conflicts of interest and the disincentive to do additional work over and above the normal within the core funding system. A lot of conflicts arise that need to be thrashed out further, to be perfectly honest. Does Ms Brady accept the HSE report and the HSE chief executive's views on phasing it out?...

Financial Statements 2023: Beaumont Hospital Board (9 Oct 2025) Séamus McGrath: On the NTPF review of 38 entities, which raised issues with three of those entities, from reading the report, it seems as if it was almost a self-declaration process. The NTPF asked the hospitals whether they were compliant and so on. Did the NTPF just accept their responses on that?

Financial Statements 2023: Beaumont Hospital Board (9 Oct 2025) Séamus McGrath: Does the NTPF accept that it continued to fund insourcing at Beaumont Hospital in the absence of a signed MOU? What level of funding was given out during that period in the absence of a signed MOU?

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: National Treatment Purchase Fund
Financial Statements 2023: Beaumont Hospital Board (9 Oct 2025) Séamus McGrath: I understand that but the MOU sounds like a fairly essential control measure. I get the trust element - we all have to have trust in life - but it is a lot of money and-----

Financial Statements 2023: Beaumont Hospital Board (9 Oct 2025) Séamus McGrath: It seems an important factor. I am caught for time but I will turn to the Beaumont Hospital board briefly. Do they accept everything the HSE report said? There no dispute between the board and those reports in terms of the findings. Does the board accept everything?

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)
Séamus McGrath: I thank the witnesses for staying with us. I will try to be reasonably brief. I want to go back to the issue of separated children. If I am right, for the year to date, 547 was the figure that Tusla gave us.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)
Séamus McGrath: Projecting towards the end of the year, we are looking at over 700 if the trend continues - 729, if we do the maths proportionately. That is a very high number. Am I right that Ms Duggan said earlier that some of them claim to be minors, although they may not be, but certainly 20% or so would be under 16?

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Tusla - the Child and Family Agency (2 Oct 2025)
Séamus McGrath: What I am trying to get at is those under 16 who are presenting are children. Can Ms Duggan explain how that happens? What is the typical route to being here?
