Marc Ó Cathasaigh (Waterford, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

We have a remit of almost retrospective oversight of spending whereas the sectoral committees can do that in real time. That is where the Supplementary Estimates come in. It just gives a transparency to the Oireachtas. We all accept how difficult and rapidly changing the environment was, particularly as regards broadcasting. However, as a member of other Oireachtas committees, I would like to see this in front of a sectoral committee rather than being considered retrospectively.
