Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Chairperson Designate (13 Mar 2019)

Alan Kelly: I have a couple of questions. It might be easier if I ask all of them together and then Mr. Barry might answer them. I am aware that he is chairman designate, which restricts him. It was probably beneficial for him to come here. What did he make of the offer made by the main contractor, BAM, to opt out of the contract at the time it did? Does he believe, having examined the board, that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Chairperson Designate (13 Mar 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Chairperson Designate (13 Mar 2019)

Alan Kelly: It is peculiar that, as chair designate, Mr. Barry believes it is the normal or right thing to do to report to, in his words, a HSE committee. First, there is no such committee. Second, even if there was, the idea that he as chair of a board that is building the hospital would report to it possibly defeats the purpose. Why was the board set up otherwise?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cancer Strategy: Discussion (13 Mar 2019)

Alan Kelly: I apologise for jumping in and out. We must work out the issue of simultaneous Question Time and committee sittings. It is not the Chairman's fault. I thank the witnesses for attending. I have a number of questions and will start where Dr. Morrissey finished. I congratulate him on his work and thank him for it. Regarding the HRB's discussions with the Department, it is obvious that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cancer Strategy: Discussion (13 Mar 2019)

Alan Kelly: I can imagine.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cancer Strategy: Discussion (13 Mar 2019)

Alan Kelly: I am conscious that the HRB is a State body and that Dr. Morrissey is dancing between the lines, but it is obvious that there is a degree of frustration. From a budgetary point of view, the HRB is being asked to make decisions about the competing proposals being put to it. From a CTI or overall cancer perspective, though, it is also obvious that there is not enough funding and that the HRB,...
