Health service boss Paul Reid has been accused of “insincerity” by Independent TD Verona Murphy during terse exchanges at an Oireachtas committee meeting.
The Wexford TD claimed Mr Reid’s “insincerity won’t wash for one second here”, adding that she “does not put up with too much BS”.
The HSE chief executive took offence at the TD’s tone, saying it was “not respectful and not professional” as he appeared before the Public Accounts Committee on Thursday.
