David Cullinane: The media reports also say that Mr. McEnery said at the meeting that the National Treatment Purchase Fund, when threatened, can back down. Did he say that?

- Public Accounts Committee: HIQA: Governance and Management of Conflict of Interest Issues (19 Oct 2017)
David Cullinane: I am absolutely astounded, obviously, by what I have heard from Mr. McEnery. I am equally astounded that both Ms Dunnion and Mr. Quinn can still sit there today and have confidence in Mr. McEnery and that they do not see any difficulty. I agree with the previous speakers.

- Public Accounts Committee: HIQA: Governance and Management of Conflict of Interest Issues (19 Oct 2017)
David Cullinane: However, notwithstanding how somebody is appointed, is there a facility in an organisation like HIQA, when issues like this emerge, for people to say that red flags have been raised and need to be dealt with? Is there any mechanism in place within the organisation to deal with this, where if Mr. McEnery is not prepared to take the decision himself, individuals within HIQA can decide that, in...

David Cullinane: I welcome Mr. McBride and his team, and thank them for their patience during what has been a long day. I thank them for the presentation of their accounts as well. Does the witness have a copy of the annual financial statement for the year ending 2016? On page 16 there is a section on travel and subsistence payments concerning the family support agency. Can the witness explain to me...
