Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Shane Ross: We will come to that because it is shambles. Nobody seems to be in charge there. There are no directors and nobody knows what was the deal. Part of the company is in wind-down, assets have been sold off for unknown sums with no explanation why the company has been losing money for a long time. Perhaps I will ask Mr. Goulding about that later. I have a question for Ms McGuinness before I...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Shane Ross: That is pretty bad if the HSE did not know about the existence of the company. That company was co-funding the CRC, which the HSE was funding to the extent of approximately €16 million a year.

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Shane Ross: I am a little staggered by this. The HSE was giving the CRC €16 million on average a year but it knew it was getting funds elsewhere and the CRC was never asked by the HSE what funds were available to it elsewhere or where they were coming from.

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Shane Ross: In 2009, Mr. Peelo said to HSE officials - I think Ms McGuinness was present - that the CRC was funding the additional €136,000 of Mr. Kiely's salary. Did she not ask how much money the organisation had and where it was coming from? There could have been €100 million there. They had approximately €14 million at the time.

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Shane Ross: When I began examining this issue, as Ms McGuinness will be aware, it did not take me more than 20 minutes to find out about the Friends and Supporters of the CRC and it did not take me more than ten seconds to see that they had €14 million on hand. I cannot understand why the HSE did not know about this or did not ask about this and when the CRC was requesting funding, presumably by...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) Shane Ross: They perceived it as an investigation. We are playing with words. Can Ms McGuinness tell me why the HSE did not send someone independent of the HSE to make these judgments?
