Catherine Connolly: The board members were the experts. Here we are now. What I would expect from the experts is to go through the points by number - one, two, three and four.

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Catherine Connolly: It is not a question. People have come to me and said that is not correct and that doctors are being ignored. They maintain their views and wishes are not being taken on board. Is that totally wrong?
