Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2024: Houses of the Oireachtas Commission

2:00 am

Mr. Peter Finnegan:

If I could just mention one other thing if that is okay, there would be massive respect for the workers in the Oireachtas. Just on my part, in my earlier career I was broadcast manager in the Oireachtas. I was not quite as good as Donnacha but I tried to do his job at the time. I would know some of those people. They are very decent, sincere people. I would have worked with them over there around 2007 or 2009. I do get the situation. The difficulty on the commission's side is that the workers concerned are the employees of Pi Communications. There is a dispute and a process there.
