Imelda Munster: Hence the issues that have arisen since. Mr. McCarthy spoke of a fundamental requirement for the board but one could also call it "standard practice" to dot the i's and cross the t's. Is it because the business case was not presented and everything was not checked through that we are in the fiasco in which we are now? A pig's ear has been made of it and laws have been broken.

Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (26 Sep 2019)
