Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

What does Mr. Conlan mean by "Just one"? This is not a comedy hour. Mr. Conlan is before an Oireachtas committee and he is honour bound and duty bound to state the full facts. As I stated to him earlier, I had the strong feeling that he was attempting to palm us off or mislead us. I now discover, perhaps, that Mr. Conlan has come in here to tell downright lies. As a member of this committee, I can tell him I do not appreciate that and I am sure my colleagues and the Cathaoirleach feel exactly the same way.

Mr. Conlan did know about Mr. Kiely exiting his position. Mr. Conlan was part and parcel of managing the process. He should not tell me that he only discovered today about this gold-plated pension package. I do not accept that.
