David Cullinane: 1. To ask the Minister for Health when he will publish the national review of specialist cardiac services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39373/24]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Health Services (3 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: In 2019 I attended a meeting with the then Minister for Health, Deputy Simon Harris, and Oireachtas Members from all parties in the south east. At that meeting the then Minister for Health committed to a national review of cardiac care. It was to look specifically at cardiac services in the south east, but also at wider services. I know that was disrupted by Covid and the work Professor...

Stephen Donnelly: I thank the Deputy for the question. The national review of adult specialist cardiac services is finalised and I have received the report. I do not have the date but I have received it and I will move to publish it very shortly. I want to bring it to Government. It is a very good and comprehensive report. One of the reasons I did not publish it right away was I did not want to publish a...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Health Services (3 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: We cannot compare apples and oranges. My understanding of the review is that it was into acute services, especially primary percutaneous coronary intervention, PPCI, services. It was to look at location and what regions would have full 24-7 PPCI services. There is a separate need for a new cardiovascular strategy that will look at prevention, community care and cardiac care in its...

Stephen Donnelly: I fully accept the Deputy's point. We will bring the review to Government imminently and it will then be published. The review kicked off after the focus on University Hospital Waterford. That was the genesis of it. I thank Professor Nolan and his team for their work. When the Deputy sees the report he will see it is a comprehensive piece of work. What Professor Nolan and his team have...

David Cullinane: As I said yesterday, I welcome every single additional cent that is put into any area of healthcare, particularly cardiac services. We will wait to see exactly what funding is being allocated and from where before we pass full judgment on that. As the Minister stated, the genesis of this review was a meeting with the then Minister for Health, Deputy Simon Harris, attended by me, Deputy...

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Paul McAuliffe: To clarify that, the witnesses are saying this is a support project that is part of the annual operating costs of the university as opposed to a project that was set out that has now overrun?

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Paul McAuliffe: I will come to Professor Laffan. Of all the questions asked here today, I think she asked the best one, which was, despite the change in leadership, why the same mistakes were made on Rhebogue that were made in the previous transaction. I invite her to answer the question that she posed herself.

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Paul McAuliffe: Within that, the authority has primary responsibility. The nature of an authority is not like a small board. How many members does the authority have?

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Paul McAuliffe: There is huge reliance on trust in the information put forward, because to manage what is essentially a chamber of 90 people is different to a board discussion involving a smaller number. The Dunnes Stores site was put on the agenda of the authority with some haste. What was proposed was approved and assurances were given. There was a belief that a valuation existed. I asked the previous...

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Paul McAuliffe: Even if that resulted in additional costs for the university?

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Paul McAuliffe: That is the fine line of governance. I will move on. Professor Laffan stated that the full information was not presented. There were people responsible for presenting that information in respect of both projects. Some of them are with the university and some are no longer with it. As a result of her view and the various reports, has any disciplinary action been taken as a result of...

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Paul McAuliffe: Is the disciplinary investigation a direct result of the transactions?

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Paul McAuliffe: In pursuing that, does Professor Laffan believe any criminal offence was carried out?

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Paul McAuliffe: It is a matter for the Garda, so it is perhaps better to say no more.

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Paul McAuliffe: She suggested that despite the change of leadership, those were her words, mistakes continued to be made. The previous president remains with the university. Is that correct?
