Matt Carthy: Is that being re-evaluated considering that those staff did very important work during the pandemic period?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: Does Ms McGirr have a fear that perhaps that could lead to litigation or a WRC case that could actually end up costing more than providing the payment to what is a fairly limited workforce who were doing essential work during the pandemic period?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: Yes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: Rather than just getting the detail, I would ask that the Department fully review that situation. As I said, these were people who carried out what in my view was essential work. It was as risky as other types of work within the health services who fall under the scope of the scheme. These are employees who we need to continue to do very important work. I just have a fear that we could...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
James O'Connor: I thank the witnesses for attending. There are many different areas that we could focus on. One of the things that really jumps out at me is the climb in expenditure from 2019 to 2023. Obviously, that is taking Covid into account but it seems the expenditure has not dropped back. To give context to my comments, we are looking at the figures coming from south of €20 billion, at...

James O'Connor: I refer to north Cork since this came up so much during the local elections. People cannot get in the door to see GPs in Mitchelstown and Fermoy. This is replicated in other parts of the country. I am not even going near the SouthDoc issue but it is extraordinarily worrying that even when people require a consultation with a doctor in an emergency or a call-out to a home that the service...

James O'Connor: We are 12 months on from Storm Babet, which took place in 2023. Enormous damage was done to Midleton. I was talking about this with the Office of Public Works earlier in the week. Midleton hospital experienced devastating flooding. The Owenacurra Centre there, which has been much-discussed over the current Dáil term, was damaged too. I want to get insight on where the HSE is with...

James O'Connor: I would like to get correspondence from the HSE on that this week, if possible, to get a live update on where we are. There is concern locally about the pace of development. It feeds back into a wider issue with any capital development in the HSE, which is the length of time it takes.
