Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Independent)

The nuns donated the site to the Exchequer and it is now owned by the State. I held a number of meetings with the chairmen of the three hospitals on the issue of governance. We need to develop the right governance structures. Tallaght hospital is not a good example because, as the Hayes report revealed, serious governance issues have arisen there. I hope to reach agreement on the governance structures in the early part of next year.
