Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Jun 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: I agree with what has been said. In fairness, Deputy Murphy has done a good job in giving a comprehensive review of the situation. One of the issues is it was repeatedly implied during our previous conversations around it there was going to be a similar equal. It is now clear there is not going to be a similar equal. I do not think we should let that go. It sets us back to square one and...

Neasa Hourigan: If we structure a meeting or go back to those concerned, I will be a bit wary about having national representatives from the HSE who say every single time we ask them that a deep-dive or granular examination was something that happened at local level. Therefore, I am wondering whether we could structure the meeting to stitch in the heads of the two specific CHOs so we will not end up going...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Jun 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: Could we ask An Bord Pleanála to provide to us anything that is not in the public sphere but that relates to the conduct and the appointment of its own board? Would that be possible?
