Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 39 - Health Service Executive (27 Nov 2013)

Gerald Nash: From the point of view of the FEMPI legislation, I am still not clear whether Mr. O'Brien is satisfied that, for example, the pension levy has been paid in all instances. The HSE did what Mr. O'Brien called a reasonableness check but that will only show up a certain amount of global information. It will not go into the minutiae. We are all aware that health and public service workers and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Review of Foreign Affairs Policy and External Relations: Discussion (4 Dec 2013)

Gerald Nash: I very much welcome this review, which as Deputy Durkan said is timely. To the best of my recollection the previous review took place some time ago during the 1990s. Much has changed since then, in particular our circumstances. It is important to reflect on the fact that this review takes place against a backdrop of this country regaining its economic sovereignty. It is a timely...

Gerald Nash: I welcome the witnesses. We have been over considerable ground this morning but I would like to make a couple of points and put some questions to them. The recently resigned chief executive, Mr. Conlan, was a member of the board of the CRC previously. According to media reports in the past two days, he has been replaced by an individual by the name of Ms Joan Hurley. I understand Mr....

Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)

Gerald Nash: Is Mr. Nugent paid for that role?

Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)

Gerald Nash: Can Mr. Nugent clarify the exact role of Ms Hurley in the organisation? Without wishing to personalise this, can he give me some sense of what her salary was and whether she was in receipt of a top-up payment or whether she was exclusively receiving the salary as described by the HSE?

Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)

Gerald Nash: So Mr. Nugent is telling me that very few lessons, if any, have been learned. He has appointed somebody who, from a previous role, is in receipt of a top-up salary, and let us call that what it is. Now that individual will be responsible for the day-to-day operations on a global scale of the CRC, and yet she is still in receipt of her top-up payments, so nothing has been learned. This is a...
