Cormac Devlin: Keeping with the programmes that are under the Department's remit, Mr. Moloney also highlighted the Ireland-United States educational fund. Is this purely funding that the Department contributes or is it involved in it as well? If so, how?

Cormac Devlin: I thank Mr. Moloney for that. On Vote 39, the Government procurement section, I was taken with note 6 in the context of compensation and legal costs. Mr. Moloney outlines a number of cases in that, some of which the Department was successful in. I note that one of them was with the Court of Appeal in June 2022. Mr. Moloney goes on to outline the second case. Could Mr. Moloney provide...

Cormac Devlin: I mention this because I dealt with the Department when it came before the Committee of Public Accounts previously in respect of the relocation of Garda headquarters, if Mr. Moloney recalls, from Harcourt Street to its new premises. There was a lot of toing and froing, let me put it that way, in terms of trying to have the proper fit-out for the new headquarters, the contracts, etc. Where...

Cormac Devlin: Deputy Ó Cathasaigh asked about the chief information officer. Obviously, there is a lot of interest in that from this committee. We have engaged with the HSE and other agencies. Has Mr. Moloney a figure of how many cybersecurity incidents there have been over the past 12 months?

Cormac Devlin: This is something that we have engaged on quite extensively over the past number of years. We are very conscious of the need to recruit and fulfil all those necessary roles in the public sector. I refer to the Data Governance Board, under note 6, in Vote 43. Mr. Moloney highlights that it was established under the Data Sharing and Governance Act 2019. Is that board fully functioning, up...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition to Reopen Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's Emergency Departments: Discussion (16 Nov 2023)

Cormac Devlin: I will pick up on Ms McMahon's positive point in terms of the staff right across the healthcare service. I hear what she is saying about UHL but, indeed, they do exemplary work right across our health service and we would be lost without them. They certainly go above and beyond. Ms McMahon spoke of her own experience and knowledge of UHL and I agree with her. I missed the earlier part...

Cormac Devlin: They all started this journey together. That is very good. In terms of the three hospitals we are speaking about today, similar to what Deputy Buckley just said, ideally, everything would return to the way it was. In terms of looking at reopening each one, I see from the briefing material that the witnesses have had many meetings, much correspondence and a lot of engagement. I believe it...
