Neasa Hourigan: I am sorry to do this to the witnesses but I wish to return to a matter discussed last week as I want clarity on it. I have received an email that was sent to the committee. Is it okay to deal with this issue now?

Neasa Hourigan: This session is on a different issue but some of the same people are in the room and I want them to revert to the committee with more information. Last week, we extensively considered capital spending in Cork-Kerry CHO and I was assured that the service users who are in 24-hour assisted living at Owenacurra and Garnish House had been fully communicated with regarding the closure of Garnish...

Neasa Hourigan: I am looking for a recognition that committee meetings have a value. We need to be able to trust what we are told by witnesses who sit in the room with us and enjoy parliamentary privilege. If they are saying they did communicate, we should be able to follow up and say that is true, they did communicate and the families are happy that is a fair representation of what happened. I am not...

Neasa Hourigan: That is a good point. I absolutely agree that the vagaries of interpersonal communications are important here because these are people who have mental health difficulties and are incredibly vulnerable.

Neasa Hourigan: It could be that somebody at a low level in a service is saying a particular thing might be happening but, in the case of vulnerable persons with mental health difficulties, the issue is whether that is being communicated back to the family properly. Mr. Mulvany is exactly right. I am looking for the HSE to make sure it is doing all its due diligence to ensure that everybody involved in...

Neasa Hourigan: I completely agree. That was why Owenacurra was so great - it was like a home. I take the point made by Mr. McCallion and I thank him for it. He is correct, but it seems that some of the staff were not aware of the plan for Garnish House, so they would not have been able to communicate that on a low level with service users. From what the families are telling us, it seems the staff did...

Neasa Hourigan: Okay. I will keep my eyes peeled for more communication. In the two and a half minutes I have remaining, I will ask a quick question for clarity on the debt that is in question. I do not want to say it is owed by the HSE to Dublin City Council, given that the witnesses say it is not owed. As a former member of Dublin City Council, this is something that I did not realise. There seems to...
