Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach (3 May 2018) Catherine Connolly: It is an interesting concept - proprietary - which I would like to come back to some time. The HSE uses a particular type of software and there seems to be very little competition. One group always seems to get the contract.

- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach (3 May 2018) Catherine Connolly: No, the point I am making is that I have serious concerns about this. I am no expert and this is not my area at all but I am concerned on the basis of representations that have been made to me. The Comptroller and Auditor General has given a very good outline of the issue. I will leave it for now and move on. I want to go back to the issue of claims. I had intended to ask why...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach (3 May 2018) Catherine Connolly: Mr. Fraser made a very good comment in terms of keeping an eye on costs but remembering that people are also very important.

Certainly, in my limited experience of two years, if questions were put and answered properly, we...

Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach (3 May 2018) Catherine Connolly: I am trying determine levels of input. We are heading down the road of an independent investigation, which I fully support. It is a very good idea to do a scoping exercise first because we simply do not have the facts.
