- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Oct 2018)
Catherine Connolly: That is okay. We should certainly write to them to get the full details. Alarm bells ring when I hear that money is prepaid. How does an administrative body go into liquidation?

Catherine Connolly: We need adequate time for it. The cost now stands at €421 million.

Catherine Connolly: It was an independent review by a particular hospital regarding mistakes that happened. That was just one review.
