Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2013 (23 Apr 2015) John Deasy: I will start with Mr. O'Brien's opening statement and the section dealing with procurement practice in establishing inquiries. He said "inquiries are often urgent and the time periods for open tendering do not permit the conduct of a tender process in circumstances where the establishment of an inquiry is urgent." The issue with which we are dealing concerns the alleged sexual abuse of...

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2013 (23 Apr 2015) John Deasy: The other thing that really struck me about his opening statement was that Mr. O'Brien said the expertise required was not readily available in Ireland, but the HSE ignored the expertise available within the organisation. That is why we are in this position. The in-house experts were continually ignored. Senior social care officers were continually ignored, which is the reason we have...

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2013 (23 Apr 2015) John Deasy: Fair enough, but I put it to Mr. O'Brien that this has come about because the two individuals who blew the whistle were not in management. I believe there was a clique in the HSE for a number of years which shoved all of this under the rug. I will go back to the issue of urgency. The two whistleblowers who made protected disclosures contacted their senior managers in September or October...

This issue has been hanging around for years and when Mr. Healy knew he was coming here and that this issue was going to come up, he was well able to contact An Garda Síochána.

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2013 (23 Apr 2015) John Deasy: Hang on now. I want to get to the bottom of this as far as I can. I will encapsulate it. The process began in September 2009. Two weeks ago, the HSE contacted the Garda Síochána to ask for its comment before publication. It is now April 2015, almost six years on. Where is the urgency with regard to the protected disclosure that was made? Why has it taken so long to get to...

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2013 (23 Apr 2015) John Deasy: No. This started with a particular senior social care worker who was employed in 2007 and started looking at the cold cases. He started going back to old files and found certain issues that concerned him gravely. He brought up these issues and the HSE management ignored him. Then he felt compelled to make a protected disclosure, and he was not the only one. Six years later, here we are,...
