Seán Fleming: We need to write to the HSE. Deputy Munster has asked a good question. We know that the Government invited the world and its mother to apply for PPPs in a list of locations throughout the country. That was a policy decision but we can ask the HSE to set out the criteria that were used. I would love to see the whole-life cost of a PPP. If it is a 20-year contract, how much is it going to...

However, we should know how many staff are involved in delivering the health...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2019)
