Chief executive of Cork-based firm says there was never a threat to sell the data
Myles Murray, chief executive of PMD Solutions, said the company was managing the patient data on behalf of the HSE to ransom by seeking more than €145,000 to “maintain the integrity” of sensitive patient data, the High Court has heard.
Those contracts were terminated in December 2024, and the company is now facing liquidation, the court heard. In its case, the HSE alleges PMD has “no contractual entitlement to payment in return for compliance with its obligations to return or delete the data, and to maintain its integrity”.
