'No dispute' over €14.1m bill, says Roqu

It has emerged that the €14.1m paid by the HSE to Roqu was for the delivery of 328 ventilator devices.

An Irish company which procured ventilators from China for the Irish health service, which were never used due to quality issues, has said there is “no dispute” between itself and the HSE.

Roqu Group, previously known as Roqu Media International, was contracted to bring 1,000 ventilators into Ireland from the Far East at the beginning of the Covid pandemic last March.
