Bobby Aylward: Just to clarify again, if people are found to be neglectful, will they be held accountable and will there be consequences for them within the HSE's system?

Bobby Aylward: Does Mr. O'Brien think that the services across the board in the HSE are professional and that they are rolled out in a proper manner? Are they fit for purpose in general?

Bobby Aylward: Is Mr. O'Brien confident that there is no other section within the HSE, besides the cervical screening programme, in which there is a problem that we will hear about next year or in three or six months' time? Is this making the HSE alert to other parts of the service? Are both the system and the roll-out of services fit for purpose? Is Mr. O'Brien happy that this is a once-off and that...

Bobby Aylward: I do not accept Mr. O'Brien's opinion that his appointment to a board while still a senior public servant, as director general of the HSE-----

Bobby Aylward: I am asking you now. I cannot believe that the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, or the Government sanctioned it. As head of the HSE, Mr. O'Brien has an onerous job. If he retired, which he will shortly, I would see no conflict but he has a job of great consequence in this country yet he has been allowed to take a directorship of a board in America. I understand he will have to go there...

Bobby Aylward: Let me finish first. That is acceptable to Mr. O'Brien and to the system here in Ireland. That is not good. I do not believe it is good practice that a senior public servant such as Mr. O'Brien, given the responsibility he has, should be allowed to sit on another board in a foreign country. It should not have been allowed. As I said, if he is retired there is no problem, but I cannot...

Bobby Aylward: I am aware of that, but the witness is taking the leave of absence because of the circumstances. He had not intended to take the leave of absence until the storm he is dealing with now blew up.

Bobby Aylward: That is all very honourable, and fair play to Mr. O'Brien. I accept that. I have a question about outsourcing the contract to America. This is the last question and it is the same subject. Why was this laboratory in America picked when outsourcing the contract? I am told there are other laboratories in Ireland that were capable of doing this.

Bobby Aylward: Why did we not go to Great Britain, Germany or France? Why did it go so far away to America? Some of the misdiagnosis results are mostly from this American laboratory.

Gambling Control Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 May 2018)

Bobby Aylward: We all know that there are people who can enjoy an odd flutter at the races. However, there are others who cannot limit their betting to a day at the races or a night at the dogs. These people are classified as problem gamblers. According to a recent UCD study, there are over 40,000 people in Ireland with gambling addictions, with single men under 35 most at risk. This is very much a...
