Mary Lou McDonald: The Taoiseach ran the clock down and did not answer.
- Order of Business (19 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: Did I hear the Taoiseach correctly when he said he has agreed terms of reference for the task force for the north inner city? He led us to believe at every stage that there would be a form of consultation with the local community in respect of those terms of reference. He has clearly reneged on that. Can he tell us what he will be doing in the north inner city tomorrow, where he will be...

Mary Lou McDonald: I will raise it nonetheless. I have previously raised the case of Mary Boyle, a young child who disappeared in County Donegal some 40 years ago, with the Taoiseach. Public disquiet about this matter is growing. There is a suggestion of political interference in the investigation of that child's disappearance. The Taoiseach knows that her twin sister, Ann Doherty, and people around her are...
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Financial Statement 2015 (15 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: I welcome Mr. O'Brien and all the other witnesses. This feels like Groundhog Day. Many of the issues we are examining today are issues the committee grappled with in the last Dáil. I put it to Mr. O'Brien and to the officials from the Department of Health that the relationship between Console and its funders, the HSE and the Department of Health, has been dysfunctional from the...

Mary Lou McDonald: I thank Mr. O'Brien. Can the Department of Health officials confirm that the first tranche of funding was in 2005 or was funding given prior to that?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Financial Statement 2015 (15 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: What about the HSE?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Financial Statement 2015 (15 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: We need to see the full picture because what we see here is not just something that happened by accident. My reading of the situation is that this was a very calculated and considered rebuff of any kind of standards on the part of Console. I believe the HSE and the Department of Health have been caught with their pants down and were asleep at the wheel. We have heard a lot about oversight,...

Mary Lou McDonald: What about the authorised signatory? What is that all about? Who are they?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Financial Statement 2015 (15 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: Okay. I am trying to establish that, in addition to the overall protocols, one actually has within the grant aid agreement or service level agreement nominated go-to people, if I can use that term, in respect of that relationship between the funder and the funded organisation. Is that a fair summary of it?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Financial Statement 2015 (15 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Purcell. In 2014, Mr. Raleigh was the authorised signatory for the service level agreement. In that year the nominated person was a Paula Forrest. Does Ms Forrest still work for the HSE?
