- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)
David Cullinane: I thank the Minister for his response. He may be correct on the turnaround for a modular lab but it is 20 months since Professor Herity made his report. The Minister referred to his recommendation for additional hours and said he is frustrated that the additional capacity has not been provided. That turnaround time has not been impressive. When patients in the south east hear the Minister...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (10 May 2018)
David Cullinane: I wish to raise a matter that arises from last week's meeting with the representatives from RTÉ and the issue of bogus self-employment. It was confirmed to the committee that one in four workers is on a bogus self-employment contract. An issue that was not raised, and it was raised with me later by a number of staff who contacted me to tell me they are in that position, is that there...

2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) David Cullinane: I am certainly not here to deliver any cheap shots to Mr. O'Brien or to anybody else, but I do have a view on Mr. O'Brien's role as the Accounting Officer to this committee and as the director general of the HSE. I will get to that in a few moments. That is my job. Mr. O'Brien has a job to do as director general of the HSE. As public representatives it is our job to hold him to account....

2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) David Cullinane: I am sorry, my question is quite distinct and I ask Dr. Holohan to also be distinct. I know it is a complex area but my question is a very simple one. Mr. O'Brien is telling us that this not a perfect science. We accept that. We accept that it is not infallible and that is not a diagnosis. We accept that there is approximately a 30% failure rate, which could include false negatives....

2016 Financial Statements of the State Claims Agency
2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) David Cullinane: I appreciate that. When the serious incident management team did its review of the audit it established that there were 208 women who should have been communicated with and that 175 cases received an interpretation different from the original smear result. Based on the opinion of the review team, this would have led to a different clinical escalation. My problem with Mr. O'Brien is that he...

2016 Financial Statements of the State Claims Agency
2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) David Cullinane: The issue here is that these 208 women were not told. That was a systemic decision taken by the HSE. Mr. O'Brien is responsible for systemic decisions taken within his organisation. The real scandal here was the response to that systemic failure and that women were not told. Mr. O'Brien has heard that Ms Mhic Mhathúna was on "Morning Ireland" this morning. It was very harrowing...
