Matt Carthy (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I will put each question. The Cathaoirleach Gníomhach can decide when other members need to come in.

I will start with Part 2 and the EOB. The general scheme does not currently mandate the body to report to the Oireachtas, which was one of the recommendations of the IRG.

Would it not be appropriate, within this part, to include a head making provision for the body to attend the public accounts committee, for example? On monitoring the progress, which we all hope will be made and maintained, would it not also be appropriate to include a clause obliging the chair of the body to come before this committee? Perhaps there should even be an obligation on any proposed chair to attend this committee in advance of their appointment to outline their priorities.
