Alan Kelly: It is a very large report. I have it here. I want to get back to the issue because this is turning into a bit of a riddle. We all know what happened with the Comptroller and Auditor General, this committee and the report that was done in 2014 and all of that. The OPW, subsequently, asked for this report to be done. Is that correct?

Alan Kelly: That report was done in November 2017 by two individuals. One of those individuals is retired, at the moment, and the other is still working there. Is that correct?

Alan Kelly: That report was then sent to the OPW. Following the OPW's request for it to be done in the first place, the report has since been sent to the Comptroller and Auditor General and he will do what he does best. I look forward to his report. I genuinely do. I want to know the following, however. There was a process in place and a request from the OPW to have this report done. The report...

Alan Kelly: The issue of Thornton Hall has been aired quite a bit. We all know the taxpayer lost out massively. Some of the details of the others, however, have not been aired and certainly not with the knowledge in this report. This is down to a level of detail that has never been seen before. I am completely dissatisfied with the manner of the response being given here. I came in here to give Mr....

Alan Kelly: I was interrupted earlier. I have one last question I want to ask on Miesian Plaza and then I will come back to this. The change in the measurement protocol slipped in or fell in, or whatever phrase Mr. Buckley used earlier in an unfortunate choice of words that I will not hang him on. Is there any documentation that warned that the change in the measurement protocol was going to cause an...

Alan Kelly: In regard to this documentation, with respect, I find Mr. Buckley's answers to be deeply concerning. As far as I am concerned, on the issues raised here, the lessons have not been learned to the level I would have expected. I cannot be guaranteed the internal changes have happened in the OPW. By extension, I do not have any confidence as a result of what I have seen in this documentation...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Business of Joint Committee (10 Oct 2018)

Alan Kelly: Given the day that is in it, I propose that we have a minute's silence in acknowledgement of Emma Mhic Mhathúna whose funeral takes place today. Being the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health it would be appropriate to do so.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Scoping Inquiry into the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion (10 Oct 2018)

Alan Kelly: The same seven minutes the Chair had. Sorry, that was just a bit of a joke. I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their work. I was embarrassed that they felt they needed to apologise about timelines in the beginning. Their work is excellent. It is one of the best reports we have seen in these Houses in my time, especially one delivered in a short time. I have many questions but...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Scoping Inquiry into the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion (10 Oct 2018)

Alan Kelly: Dr. Scally could not get into that detail. We have a view that the laboratories are in line with international standards but we do not have proof of that in the 221 cases. Why do we have a scenario whereby this was not investigated at the time given the consequences of that, which we all know about today? That is my first group of questions. I will list the other questions because the...
