Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: Mr. Mulvany has just said that it was clear. Allow me to say this again; the Comptroller and Auditor General says that this was seriously misleading. So clearly, it was not clear. It was clearly misleading

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: What about the €24.5 million for instance? We see on page 27 that there is €24.5 million agreed under verbal contract.

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: Would Mr. Mulvany agree or disagree with what the Comptroller and Auditor General had to say? It was not misleading, is that what the witness is saying?

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: This means you would agree, so it was misleading. I want to move on to the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Delivery Plan and Reform on the same question. How did the Department deal with the fact that it did not receive the full information in order to make an informed decision?

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: To be fair then, did the Department feel that it had been misled?

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: The fact that the Department was being misled is what I am really trying to get to. Did the Department seek to hold anyone accountable on that basis, given that it accepts the report?

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: In that case, the answer to my question about holding someone accountable is "No". The Department has not sought to ascertain in any shape or form who was accountable for submitting a report to the Department that completely misled it.

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: Clearly not. I suppose we can all make up our own minds then as to accountability. Referring to page 27 of the report, Mr. Mulvany, €24.5 million was advanced to three suppliers on the basis of a verbal contract. Emergency or no emergency, how was such a massive amount transferred and authorised by the HSE without a written contract?

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: The reality is that the ventilators that were procured were worthless to us. People did not die because ventilators were not procured. They died because ventilators that were of no consequence were procured. No, I am wrong. Sorry, to be fair, they are consequentially of use in India. We were lucky to be able to do something for somebody, after wasting €80 million. I agree with...

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: I do not agree with any of it, Mr. Mulvany, regardless of emergency. I operated a business throughout the emergency, and I did not make any mistakes like this. That is probably because I was working for myself and looking after my own money. I was not looking after part of the public purse, which is what the HSE was doing. I already said at the outset that it was important to consider the...

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: As financial officer, the witness's role was procurement. Those looking after the patients were under extreme pressure because of the ventilators that were ordered.
