Thomas Lynch fundraising link
Deputy Róisín Shortall asks about the Taoiseach's relationship with Thomas Lynch, who chairs the board on which Tony O'Brien was to serve, and whether Lynch hosted a fundraising event. The Taoiseach confirms he knows Lynch and that Lynch held a fundraiser for him, but says he did not appoint him to anything.
Further to earlier questions raised about Mr. Tony O'Brien, my understanding is that the chairman of the board of the company Tony O'Brien is going to serve on is Mr. Thomas Lynch, who is the chair of the Mater. What is the Taoiseach's relationship with Mr. Thomas Lynch? Is it the case that he hosted a fundraising event for the Taoiseach last year?

It is. I know Thomas Lynch. He would be well known to many people in business circles. He is a successful businessperson who is the chair of a number of bodies, including that board. To my knowledge he has no involvement whatsoever in CervicalCheck. That is it.

I am sorry, but that is not the question I asked. Is it the case that Mr. Lynch held a fundraising event for the Taoiseach last year?

I did not suggest you did.
