John McGuinness: I will have to get on to the CIA to get an ear piece because I cannot hear the clerk to the committee very well. He could talk up his sleeve to me then. Deputy Deasy and I visited Moore Street and the general battlefield site on Moore Lane. I was very impressed by the tour we were given. I was impressed by the significance of the site, not just in terms of Nos. 14 to 17 Moore Street but...

John McGuinness: Yes. We will indicate to the Department the fact that we were there and visited the site and that we are looking for the general information on it. Then, we will ask the Department to attend, if that is what Deputy Deasy proposes, at an early date. I will ask the clerk to write.

Who, within those structures, were the individuals responsible for taking the actions? Has Mr. O'Brien identified how that structure was made up, the personnel who were in that structure and the information they knew?

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) John McGuinness: Why would that not have happened? I am interested in it because if an employer got a complaint about something that happened within the system, they would probably go immediately to the person it referred to or the section in control of it. Mr. O'Brien is saying now that did not happen.

One can get tired of listening to the toing and froing that happens between Deputies but according to Mr. Mulvany's explanation, the HSE has failed to bring consultants into line. The Committee of Public Accounts has had this discussion with the HSE previously. The committee has heard all of the explanations about what is...

Someone would lose their job. However, because the taxpayer is picking up the bill everyone is fine with just an explanation. I do not wish to be personal, Mr. Mulvany, and sometimes Mr. O'Brien takes...
