Best of luck to them. We need them all to be successful so I hope that they will be. I welcome those who have been around for a while as well.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: Mr. Gloster will see my questions coming from a mile away because I have asked them twice this week. When will the 96-bed block be opened? Through accident or misspeaking, as he said yesterday, I take Mr. Gloster at his word. I see it. I have been inside in UHL for more than a month. I have actually seen floors go up since I was in there. They are flying it and I accept that. What date...

Alan Kelly: Yes.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: I ask that because, as Mr. Gloster will know, it is contract staff rather than full-time staff. An issue jumped out at me from the report. How can one consultant be paid 24 hours pay for one hour's work? I know from looking at Mr. Gloster that he is as shocked as I am about this. A consultant was paid 24 hours pay and is paid nearly €1 million a year. The example being given is...
