Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statement 2020 and Related Matters: HSE (Resumed) (23 Sep 2021)

Imelda Munster: Last week, I asked Mr. Reid if there would be any questions arising from the purchase by the HSE of PPE that was unusable and I was left with the impression that the answer to that question was "No". The document I am holding up, received under a freedom of information, FOI, request, indicates that the hand sanitiser referenced last week was only one of 30 in respect of which the HSE was...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statement 2020 and Related Matters: HSE (Resumed) (23 Sep 2021)

Imelda Munster: This is the HSE's second week before the Committee of Public Accounts. Is Mr. Mulvany seriously telling us it does not know the cost to the public purse of all of the products purchased by the HSE that were not fit for purpose?

Imelda Munster: What is the total cost in that regard?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statement 2020 and Related Matters: HSE (Resumed) (23 Sep 2021)

Imelda Munster: I understand that, but the HSE appears to have spent more than any other country on PPE that cannot be used.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statement 2020 and Related Matters: HSE (Resumed) (23 Sep 2021)

Imelda Munster: I will repeat the question. Does Mr. Reid have the total cost to the HSE in respect of the purchase of PPE that was not fit for purpose and is that figure likely to change?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statement 2020 and Related Matters: HSE (Resumed) (23 Sep 2021)

Imelda Munster: For the public record, what is that cost of PPE that cannot be used?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statement 2020 and Related Matters: HSE (Resumed) (23 Sep 2021)

Imelda Munster: We accept all that. This is the Committee of Public Accounts and we are tasked with assessing transparency procedures, practices and so on. To date, we still do not have a figure for how much was spent by the HSE on products that cannot be used because they were not fit for purpose. Will Mr. Reid accept that he cannot give me that figure?

Garda Siochana (Functions and Operational Areas) Bill 2021: Second Stage (22 Sep 2021)

Imelda Munster: As stated by my colleague, Deputy Martin Kenny, my party will be supporting this Bill. We do, however, have some significant concerns, especially around the move away from community policing and the fact that some areas, particularly rural areas, will likely lose out on Garda resources. I will focus on my area of Louth and east Meath. Under the new model, Louth will be amalgamated with...
