Catherine Connolly: I will first ask some practical questions on the accounts. I wish to pick up on something Deputy Cullinane said about conflicts of interest. Is it correct that the HSE explored with PwC whether there was a conflict of interest, and it satisfied itself that there was no conflict?

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I am interested in what measures are in place to ensure there is no conflict of interest. I do not want to discuss PwC at all and I do not care whether a conflict of interest is in its interest. I want to know what the HSE has in place to ensure there is no conflict of interest.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Catherine Connolly: PwC has not acted for BAM or done work for it at any stage.

Catherine Connolly: On the site, I began by listing the reports and I will not return to to the subject . Is it correct that the independent report of 2011 recommended a greenfield site if money was not the issue. Would the greenfield site have been preferable?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I do not know about that because this has become a €2 billion project. Let us be reasonable for a moment. Money was the issue at that point but the experts were recommending a greenfield site with a trilocation.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Catherine Connolly: For the St. James's site, was it going to be a trilocation or a bilocation? I cannot remember.
