This afternoon.
Government Buildings, Dublin 2
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Minister for Health launch the Sláintecare Report and announce the appointment of Laura Magahy, formerly of Temple Bar Properties, as Executive Director of Slaintecare and Tom Keane as chairman of the Slaintecare Advisory Council.
The report of the All-Party Oireachtas Committee on the Future of Healthcaret sets out a vision for the future of healthcare over a ten-year period.
But report author Social Democrat co-leader Roisin Shorthall said::
“Ms Laura Magahy is the managing director of a private sector company, and has been associated with a number of high profile and controversial projects.
It is also noteworthy that Ms Magahy’s company, M.CO Projects ltd, has a commercial relationship with the HSE, where for example, it was paid an estimated €2.2m in 2016 by the HSE for consultancy and support services.
It is important that the Government now clarify how these commercial interests can be reconciled with Ms Magahy’s new role with Sláintecare and what her relationship with M.CO Projects will be.”
Of today’s launch. Ms Shorthall added:
“We are still waiting on the Government to agree their official response to the plan, despite it being promised before last Christmas”

Is the company not https://www.mco.ie/ [you have m.co]
Even better enterprise Ireland gave her company design Ireland initiative ltd part of 5 million euro I funding in 2016
Google it
The company now is dissolved
Was it dissolved just after they got the dosh ?and how much
The usual, taking care of their own.
Cronyism 101.
is Paddy Teahon still her partner
I was going to say “Should it not be someone from the HSE who knows a bit about healthcare” but on reflection there’s nobody in the HSE who fits that description.
Not quite fair. Some of the doctors and nurses know quite a bit!
So they do
Sadly no one is listening
The HSE needs disbanding
I wonder what they are going to do about the consultants falsifying their hours as revealed on prime time
I believe this is called fraud or scammers syndrome according to the lancet
Where’s Mannix?
