Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) John McGuinness: When he wrote back to the HSE on 17 November 2009, Mr. Peelo stated, "'We undertake that the CRC as a voluntary organisation will itself fund the excess of salaries concerned as identified by the HSE, with effect from the 1st of June, 2010."

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) John McGuinness: The HSE never inquired about the position. The way Ms McGuinness outlines it it appears that the organisation refused to divulge the relevant information. When did the HSE ask it to provide information and when did it refuse?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) John McGuinness: If one is allocating money to fund particular projects or extending a loan, surely one will inquire about how much money the person involved already has in his or her possession. The HSE should have inquired about where the money it had allocated was going and how much was contained in the Friends and Supporters of the CRC fund.

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014) John McGuinness: I do not think it takes a forensic examination. All one need do is inquire of the person or organisation seeking €16 million a year how much money he, she or it already possesses. That is nothing but common sense.
