The HSE has engaged a legal firm in an attempt at recouping €10m in costs incurred in bringing faulty ventilators from China at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The executive has retained the services of Philip Lee solicitors to aid in its dealings with Roqu Media International, a festival management company which it contracted for the procurement of ventilators in March 2020.
