I wish to raise the HSE audit into St. John of God and the millions of euro spent on top-ups and bonuses for senior executives that should have been spent on service users. The Minister has publicly called for the moneys to be repaid, but in 2013 the charity disregarded a call by the Government to comply with public pay norms. Other than calling publicly for the millions to be repaid, which will most likely be ignored again, what action does the Taoiseach or Government plan to take to recoup the millions of euro that should have been spent on community services such as intellectual disability and mental health services and homes?

There is no promised legislation on this issue and nor is it in the programme for Government. Perhaps the Minister, Deputy Harris, will give the Deputy an answer.
