- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Catherine Connolly: That is my own personal view and I will stick to the facts. However, it certainly does not help me to think that Ronald McDonald is going to provide accommodation. Will Mr. Breslin explain to me what the State is providing for accommodation?

Catherine Connolly: I have no difficulty with that. I am a mother. I am sure the health committee will tease it out more. My job is to tease out what the State is paying for accommodation, along with Ronald McDonald.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Catherine Connolly: We have gone through all of these costs. We did not provide in the plan for accommodation and totally relied on a charity. That charity is now coming back and saying it is not so charitable and needs a contribution from the Government. Is that correct?

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Catherine Connolly: Reference to tri-location with a maternity hospital was included in the accounts at the beginning. Is this included as an objective in the 2018 accounts?
