Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I will ask Mr. Breen about the clinical indemnity scheme. I spoke to the clerk and the Chair before the meeting. I have a personal interest in this matter but we think it is a matter of public interest and not a conflict of interest, as such. I wanted to mention that at the outset. I will ask about the scheme and, in particular, how it relates to maternity hospitals. There was a report...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: It is interesting that a similar number of cases has been reported. It does, of course, take time for a brain injury diagnosis of some kind to manifest and for people to become aware of it. I am interested in the risk notification by the hospitals. I do not presume to know about all cases, but in many of them, there are circumstances in which the injury could have been avoided. From the...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: It is interesting that a very large number of incidents are reported. I know they are not all cerebral palsy cases or anything of that nature, and there is a much broader range of cases. I understand Mr. Breen was only giving that as an example. I speak to parents who have gone through litigation processes to secure funds for their children for the long term. In other cases, where there...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The parents to whom I speak feel that litigation is the only way they can get a dialogue with, or a response from, the hospital. Are there ways in which we can change the clinical indemnity scheme to require, where an incident is notified, that the patient or parents of the patient be notified, just as a matter of basic courtesy?

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I totally agree. Has Mr. Breen found any of the hospitals resistant to that idea? It seems like such an obvious thing to do for the holistic care of their patients.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The media reporting might sit slightly against what Mr. Breen is saying. I do not wish to contradict him, but the experience of parents with hospital management in general, rather than with the State Claims Agency, is somewhat different. I am conscious that I have only 30 seconds. I do not know if we are getting a second round later on.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The Chairman asked the question I intended to ask about corporation tax. Ireland and the NTMA have been successful in continuing to access the international markets. What is Mr. O'Kelly's perspective on that continuing? What risks might make it more difficult?

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The opening statement the NTMA provided stated, "When the crisis hit, we had fiscal room when we needed it most and, in the years ahead we need to create that room again." Presumably, Mr. O'Kelly is inferring that we should create similar circumstances at that point.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank Mr. O'Kelly. I wish to ask Mr. Breen about the hospital accountability issues. During the break, I discussed this with some of my colleagues. It is obviously an issue of exceptional public interest given the risk to the young citizens of our State. With the financial risk to the State and the ongoing liabilities, it is one of the biggest issues that we face. Going back to the...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Are the hospitals required to present the fact that that happened? That seems to be a serious thing to happen. Is the hospital management then held to account by the board? Does Mr. Breen have any oversight of that?

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: If, for example, there are multiple incidents in the same year in the same hospital, would that raise flags within the State Claims Agency systems?
