Bobby Aylward: 26. To ask the Minister for Health the reason that University Hospital Waterford has experienced an increase of 159% in inpatient and day case waiting lists since May 2013 when it became part of the South-South West Hospitals Group and that it now accounts for more than 40% of the group waiting list compared with 23% in 2013.

- Other Questions: Hospital Waiting Lists (18 Oct 2016)
Bobby Aylward: I want to ask the Minister the reason University Hospital Waterford has experienced a 159% increase in inpatient and day case waiting lists since May 2013, when it became part of the South-South West Hospitals Group, to the point where it now accounts for more than 40% of the group waiting list compared with 23% in 2013. This is of major concern. The figures are alarming. Why is it...
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (18 Oct 2016)
Bobby Aylward: At the outset I must say that, like my colleagues, I find it unbelievable the way in which Mr. Soffe attacked the office of the Comptroller and Auditor General in his opening statement today. I thought three members of the board - there are only seven members - would come before the committee to defend themselves and outline their reasons for the sale of the Project Eagle portfolio. Instead,...

Bobby Aylward: I am glad Mr. McEnery acknowledged that. That is a change of tune from the opening statement. I want to move on. Brexit was mentioned by Deputy Kelly and, in his opening statement, Mr. Soffe made a big play about Brexit in that he knew it was coming down the line. I felt he was saying that he was going to take his cake, eat it and then run. In other words, get rid of the loan sale...

Bobby Aylward: If NAMA still had the loan sale book in 2018, is it Mr. Soffe's professional opinion that Brexit would have a major effect on valuations?

Bobby Aylward: Mr. Rowntree was before the committee last week and I found him to be open, transparent and forward in his views. He was the first witness to come before us who was transparent and willing to answer every question we asked. However, NAMA has rubbished the evidence he gave to the committee. He said he had been a member of the NIAC and that what he termed "sensitive information" was put in...
