Joe Neville: There is no problem about continuing to update to a better product, but at the same time, that might mean that we are buying too much in between those products, if we are building up a reserve, no matter which way you skin it.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive (16 Oct 2025)

Joe Neville: I thank the witnesses for their time today. They have been honest, open and clear in all their answers to the questions I raised. We need to focus on the hospitals and the amount of spending, the €5 billion, we do not have visibility of.
