John Perry: I think what the Taoiseach was saying is that there could be enhanced powers for the Comptroller and Auditor General's office to deal with this, and perhaps it would be very important to extend that to the others. The fact we can bring in the Department of Finance is certainly a good start.

John Perry: I am not doubting the Chairman on that point. This committee is totally independent in what it does. I think he would have no difficulty whatever with that. For that reason, I have no doubt that there will be-----

John Perry: I heard the Chairman on "Morning Ireland" this morning. I think the points he made with regard to how this can be dealt with were very important and salient. It is important that we find an effective way to proceed with it.

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2013 (23 Apr 2015) John Perry: With the amount of staff who leave the health system, there could not be a corporate ban on any involvement by a former employee in any work once they have left the service. Any civil servant or any person who leaves the State services is not prevented from partaking in any other aspect of life afterwards. That is an important point given the number of people involved. I do not know the...

With regard to the point about having been in the chair, it is very important that we do not have an execution and trial here on the spot over a case with which I am not familiar.

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2013 (23 Apr 2015) John Perry: I am just making the point. I am newly appointed to the Committee of Public Accounts, but I know the line of balance that has to be taken which represents integrity and fairness and the ends that are mentioned. At the opening of any meeting we state very clearly that we should make no reference to any individual by name such that it would prejudice the outturn of any case.

I congratulate Mr. O'Brien on his appointment since he assumed his role in the HSE. It is with the Garda Síochána. I think we have concerns with the reporting of the matter to the Garda Síochána. It should be addressed directly to the Garda Commissioner. That is what I would...

We are talking about the disability sector. There is a massive requirement for on-the-spot audits, which are essential for homes that cater for the disabled sector and nursing homes. Given all the regulations that came in, which are very much necessary, is the HSE budget adequate to...
