Shane Ross: I think it should have done probably, but if that will not happen again, it is an improvement. It seems that the HSE was kept in the dark according to Mr. Cregan's report about pretty well everything that is material to the discussion we are having today - perhaps Ms McGuinness might correct me.

Shane Ross: I ask Mr. Goulding to comment on that. The HSE is claiming that the board, of which he was chairman, did not inform it of what was happening in terms of Mr. Kiely's package, Mr. Conlan's appointment, Mr. Kiely's pay, pay generally, and the Friends and Supporters of the Central Remedial Clinic.

Shane Ross: That was in clear breach of the CRC's agreement with the HSE. There is no argument about it, is there? The CRC did not inform it.

Shane Ross: That kind of breach, keeping the HSE, the CRC's main funders, in the dark, is a finding of Mr. Cregan's report which Mr. Goulding disputes. Does he accept that as a fair comment?

Shane Ross: I do not doubt his motivation. I know very well his motivation and his family ties. For 20 years he was associated with the clinic. It seems utterly extraordinary that he could be on the board and not ask, with nobody else presumably ever asking, what the chief executive was paid.
