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?

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 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.
