- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: Does the Department of Health consider, having listened to all of this, that there is need for further legislation in this area?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: I brought to your attention, Mr. O'Brien, the fact that the HSE was told locally about Ann and that the social workers asked that the necessary steps be taken to protect her. They were that concerned. This was in 2009. She was still there in 2013. Have you details of that?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: That is a fact, that the HSE was asked to take the necessary steps and obviously did not, because Ann was still there in 2013. The necessary steps to protect her were highlighted.

John McGuinness: Is Mr. Healy familiar with a type 2 payment arrangement?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: To go back to Grace, a type 2 arrangement was entered into where her disability allowance would have been paid to the foster home, and for that the foster home would give an undertaking that she would be cared for, the money would be looked after, a special account would be opened and so on. Was that type 2 arrangement entered into by the health board or the HSE at the time?

John McGuinness: I ask Mr. Healy not to talk me down.
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: I will explain what I am talking to him about here. I presume the arrangement that is entered into could be classed as a legal agreement, or as an almost legal agreement, setting out how that money would be looked after.

John McGuinness: Yes. Did the HSE in recent times make a statement saying that the Waterford Intellectual Disability Association stopped it from giving the apology? Could Mr. Healy give me some clarification on that? Was that something that was said or issued in a statement?

John McGuinness: Yes.
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: I would like to follow up with Mr. O'Brien what Deputy Dowds said about the legal issues here and the possibility of people taking a case against the HSE and so on. Mr. O'Brien said that no legal defence is really being offered by the HSE. Have Mr. O'Brien and his colleagues in the HSE estimated how much the possibility of cases being taken and having to be settled might cost the State?...
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: Will the HSE do so?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: Okay. I would like to return to the Waterford Intellectual Disability Association and the funding. During the course of the care of Grace, did the association get special funding to take care of Grace, or was that something it had to fund out of its grant from the Department?
