- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: A number of times in this Dáil I have raised the issue of the need for a second catheterisation laboratory, cath lab, at University Hospital Waterford. The Taoiseach will be aware that in October of last year the Minister for Health signed off on that proposal. It was also in the health Estimates, so that the funding, we understand, is there. It is caught up with all the other capital...
- Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2019: Second Stage (26 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: This omnibus Bill is the bare minimum needed in terms of Brexit planning. It is a steady state solution that does not plan adequately for the economic consequences of a hard crash-out of the EU by the UK. This is despite the fact that the Bill is being portrayed as a comprehensive response to the disruption Brexit will bring. However, it does not engage with the realities that many...
- Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2019: Second Stage (26 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: The point is we are very close to D-Day. This State, and every member state, is planning for a no-deal Brexit. We are being told these are the contingencies. On the other hand, we are also being told that there might be some solutions down the road for the agrifood business and farmers. They have not seen them, however. We have also not seen any bespoke solutions for this State to be...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: There are a couple of issues with the letter received from Professor Donnelly, president, and Ms Elaine Sheridan, vice president for corporate affairs and finance at Waterford Institute of Technology. It is on the back of the meeting regarding the special report of the Comptroller and Auditor General which mentioned several documents, one of which was a memorandum sent to Professor Donnelly...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: We could write back to the institute and ask it to supply the document with whatever redactions it considers necessary. However, I do not understand why it cannot be given. The email we received cites legal reasons.

David Cullinane: Was this in the memorandum?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: Yes, the memorandum contains a number of false allegations.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: My understanding of the memorandum, in general terms, is that somebody in the research office had written to Professor Donnelly, who was the vice president, raising concerns about the process and asking that the memorandum be circulated higher up. However, this was never done. In fact, Professor Donnelly came back to the person in question to ask him to substantiate the concerns he had...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: I doubt that it will give it to us now, based on this. I will not say it but I can speculate on who one of the two people is who has concerns about what is in the memorandum. We need to refer back to the Department and the HEA and ask them where they are with their report and if they are going to embark on a different course of action if they cannot publish the report that is in draft form.

David Cullinane: The problem with them not giving us the information on the shareholders is because-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: Historically, this was about the relationship between the institute and the company. Obviously, the institute was one of the shareholders. I believe what happened, from memory, is that a confidentiality agreement was reached between the shareholders and the institute that there would not be any disclosure. Perhaps it was with the company. Again, that raises concerns around the...
