Mary Henry (Independent)

We are looking for black holes in the health service where money is being wasted, but what sort of waste of money is this exercise? I said I thought the whole exercise was pointless. She asked how many people I employ: two half people. I asked where she got my name and she replied from the Department of Transport. What is the Department of Transport doing carrying out surveys like this? What is the cost of this survey? When we have the debate on the Department of Transport, could we kindly ask why it is carrying out fruitless exercises such as this one? I have not contacted the Department of Transport for years but I have contacted the National Roads Authority. What are we doing in carrying out such surveys? I wish the former Senator Máirín Quill was back here so that she could comment on it.
