Matt Carthy: At our meeting last week, the CEO of the HSE used a particular phrase which I found interesting when I looked back at it. He described the health repayments scheme as “not quite closed but is largely closed”. The question that arises is whether the Department, the Government and the HSE collectively envisage a scenario where new people will be paid under that scheme?

Matt Carthy: The point is that we now know that there are, at a minimum, several thousand people who would have qualified had they appealed because they met the same criteria.

Matt Carthy: I want to read into the record again an extract from the 2011 secret memo from the Government: In addition, there are other institutions similar to St. Michael’s, Cheeverstown and the Daughters of Charity with residents who would have similar potential claims. [In their cases] Claims rejected under the repayment scheme were not appealed or no claims were made under the scheme,...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Feb 2023)

Matt Carthy: I welcome the additional information on CCTV, although it is difficult to fathom how we do not already have CCTV in place. This has been going on for far too long. CCTV is necessary if we are to maintain the integrity of, and public esteem in, the sector. A number of issues arise with the exit package of the former CEO. According to the correspondence, it is a standard feature of...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Feb 2023)

Matt Carthy: I agree with that assessment. I must again say that I am often astounded by the number of regulatory bodies we have that will do anything to avoid regulating. What the committee shared with the ASAI was an anomaly that found that its previous finding was incorrect. We dispute the assertion, and I think most reasonable people would do so as well, that prize money and commissions paid to...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Feb 2023)

Matt Carthy: There are a couple of points to be added to the list based on what we agreed previously. We agreed the lottery regulator should been invited. Again, I think there may have been a change of personnel. I am not sure whether that will have an effect. The issues we have been dealing with concerning the HSE and Department of Health will also require re-examination by this committee as more...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Feb 2023)

Matt Carthy: It is in respect of the immigrant investor programme. This is the programme whereby non-EU nationals can secure residency in Ireland and, therefore, the UK by becoming involved in investments or philanthropic endeavours. We are talking about substantial sums of money but, relatively speaking, there is an argument that it is a small amount of money for a big cost in terms of what the State...

Matt Carthy: These are not allegations; these are statements of fact, and I can stand over them. The hotel is currently closed. It closed on 1 January. Staff were given a temporary layoff notice, ostensibly for the hotel to be renovated, but no renovation works have taken place. The immigrant investor programme is a public programme. There are many concerns. There are several bodies that I believe...
