Catherine Connolly: It is the briefing paper.

Catherine Connolly: I have a question on the three-page letter. I welcome that the correspondence sets out the legislation under which the chief inspector works and that it can be delegated to other inspectors. The correspondence goes on to refer to 101 inspectors currently employed by HIQA. Are they all full-time or part-time?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Nov 2017)
Catherine Connolly: The nature of the question was to establish whether they were full-time or part-time or whether they had other roles. Can the Department answer that point? Let us consider the amount involved. I feel for the staff, but in going through the documentation we find that there are 101 inspectors. There is no explanation of the status of these inspectors and whether they are part-time or full-time.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Nov 2017)
Catherine Connolly: Whether it is high or low, the point is the status of the inspectors, whether they are full-time or part-time and whether they have other work to do.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Nov 2017)
Catherine Connolly: I have a question relating to the set-up of the review. There are nine chapters but no review summary. It is difficult to read and I have not had a chance to go through it properly. I have only speed-read from chapter 1 to chapter 9. There is no summary, executive summary or highlighting. Readers have to go right through it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Nov 2017)
Catherine Connolly: I do not expect him to rewrite it. I have only speed-read it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Nov 2017)
Catherine Connolly: Any reader should do that but there should also be a summary to highlight the points.

Catherine Connolly: I might have missed it when I slipped out but was there an answer from the Health Service Executive on the Deloitte report?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Nov 2017)
Catherine Connolly: Why not?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Nov 2017)
Catherine Connolly: It was Deloitte. That is right. There has been no answer.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Nov 2017)
Catherine Connolly: Please.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Nov 2017)
Catherine Connolly: They are practical matters and should be answered.

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 99 - Public Sector Financial Reporting for 2015 (16 Nov 2017) Catherine Connolly: I have been given three letters and I am working on letters from the Department dated 26 July and 24 October 2017, where the Department attempts to clarify the premises that have been transferred under the 2002 indemnity agreement and the agreement in 2009. I would like a general comment as to why the transfers have not been completed some 15.5 years later. Before we do that, I wish to...

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 99 - Public Sector Financial Reporting for 2015 (16 Nov 2017) Catherine Connolly: I welcome the progress from April to October 2017. I welcome the letter setting this out. I deplore that it has taken this long, but that is a matter for another day. I will move on to the 2009 voluntary offers. Will Mr. Ó Foghlú help me with this one. In the letter of 26 July 2017, some 18 premises are listed.

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 99 - Public Sector Financial Reporting for 2015 (16 Nov 2017) Catherine Connolly: On 26 July, Mr. Ó Foghlú gave all committee members a list, running to three and a half pages. I count 15 premises, not 18. In the letter of October 2017, there are 13 premises listed. Some of the premises in the October list were not on the previous list. I am becoming totally confused. Am I correct that some 18 premises are to be handed over under the 2009 agreement?

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 99 - Public Sector Financial Reporting for 2015 (16 Nov 2017) Catherine Connolly: I am not here to score a point or embarrass officials. I am here because premises that were to be handed over in 2009 have not been handed over by 2017. I know this because one of the buildings in Galway has simply remained empty since 2009, but to my horror, that is not the only building. I tried to trace it up with the help of the Comptroller and Auditor General, who highlighted in a...
