Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2013 (23 Apr 2015) Mary Lou McDonald: I thank the Comptroller and Auditor General. That is useful. I raise this issue and zeroed in on the procurement one from a public interest point of view. This is something that has been the subject of commentary and criticism, not only by members within this institution but more broadly. A lot of documentation and information is trawled over, analysed and produced. I am not gainsaying...

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2013 (23 Apr 2015) Mary Lou McDonald: In dialogue with the clerk to the committee, we might straighten it out.

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2013 (23 Apr 2015) Mary Lou McDonald: I will not labour the point. Although, undoubtedly, those skills are not common to every Tom, Dick and Harry, I am surprised that Mr. O'Brien said they were not readily available in Ireland.
