Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)

David Cullinane: I understand what happened in 2015. In February 2105, the HSE got advice from its legal team. In March 2015, the HSE wrote to An Garda Síochána. In April 2015, the HSE got the advice.

Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)

David Cullinane: Yes, I am aware of all of that. Mr. O'Brien is not answering the question I am putting to him. He has made it clear that the HSE only triggered that process in terms of getting advice from An Garda Síochána in February 2015. From the report landing on the HSE's lap in 2012 up to February 2015, the reason for not publishing a report was not any advice from An Garda...

Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)

David Cullinane: ...again, that would not be clear, with respect. The inference and the narrative from that clip was that the only reason - Mr. O'Brien was very clear - the report was not published was because of Garda advice. That is now not the case.

Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)

David Cullinane: ...that so much time passed from the point the Devine report was furnished to the HSE and the time Mr. O'Brien says today a decision was made in February 2015 to put in place or in train a query to An Garda Síochána as to whether the HSE could publish the report. It is incredible it was not done before then. From 2012 to that date, the report sat on a shelf. The reason it sat on...

Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)

David Cullinane: Can I make one point? I want to give Mr. O'Brien leave to answer the question. With all due respect, Mr. O'Brien offers up as an excuse as to why the HSE did not contact An Garda Síochána prior to March 2015 the excuse that if the HSE had asked, An Garda Síochána would have said "no". The HSE did not ask and that is the point.

Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)

David Cullinane: No, he is not. With respect, what the witness is doing is offering his view as to why he did not contact An Garda Síochána. He said that one of the reasons was that if he had asked - he then cites references to a third party - it would have said "no". What I am saying is that this is an excuse because he did not ask. If he had asked, he might have got a different outcome. We...

Bus Éireann: Motion [Private Members] (31 Jan 2017)

David Cullinane: ...all seriousness, the Minister cannot come into this House and say that this Government and the previous Government have treated rural Ireland as a top priority.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Estimates for Public Services 2017 (Revised): Discussion (17 Jan 2017)

David Cullinane: ...up to the principle of it or even give an indication that he will do it over a reasonable timeframe. Again, I am wondering why this issue was put on the long finger. It has caused tensions in classrooms, Garda stations and all manner of public sector workplaces because there is a two-tier parallel pay structure in place. Why was that not considered when the Minister was examining the...

Other Questions: Garda Strength (16 Dec 2016)

David Cullinane: One of the consequences of not having enough officers in each division is that the Garda must make choices in allocating resources. The Tánaiste will be aware that the numbers in the drugs units dropped from 2010 right up to this year: in one division in Cork from 34 to 22; in another division in Cork from 32 to 21; in Waterford from 15 to five, which is a reduction of 66%; and in...
