Alan Kelly: I thank the Chairman for dealing with this issue in public session because it is a very serious and worrying situation. Ms Healy has provided us with all the correspondence. I have spoken to Claire Healy a number of times.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Business of Joint Committee (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

Alan Kelly: It was a matter of weeks. He stated that it would take two weeks or a similarly short period. I need to check the record in that regard. The big issue is that we still do not know the dates in question. If the HSE is incapable of giving a full matrix of the breakdown of these slides, it must be dysfunctional. This work should barely take a couple of hours, never mind a couple of years....
