- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Imelda Munster: To be clear, Mr. Watt is refusing to furnish the Committee of Public Accounts with the report and is refusing to give it updated costings. He said he would be able to discuss updated costings once he received the report. He has had the report since May but has thus far refused to furnish us with it and now cannot even confirm costings. When he told us he would be able to discuss the...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Imelda Munster: Mr. Watt says he is interested in protecting the State's interest. Surely if we are looking at costs in excess of €2 billion, and it is public money, it is in the State's interests to know exactly what this hospital will cost and if it will be the most expensive children's hospital in the world. I again ask Mr. Watt whether he will provide the committee with the report. If he is...

Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Imelda Munster: Mr. Watt has refused point-blank today to furnish us with the report confidentially. That is not about it being made public. He said that once he got the report, which he has had since May, he would be able to discuss updated costings once the report was completed.
