Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (26 Feb 2015)

John Deasy: I was looking for the correspondence from the Secretary General of the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht; I do not know if it was sent to me.

The Department spent a good deal of money in 2014. I...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (26 Feb 2015)

John Deasy: Based on what has been in the news in the past few months and on what Revenue has sent us, is there new information arising from what has appeared in the media recently or does Revenue say they knew this back in 2010 and acted? As I understand it, 27 cases have been completed out of 33 and six are ongoing.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (26 Feb 2015)

John Deasy: I have no problem with doing that but I have a word of caution. If six cases are still ongoing and involve criminal prosecutions, the final figure will not be known. What they say in the committee will have to be open-ended in that regard.

Dairy Sector: Statements (4 Mar 2015)

John Deasy: I appreciate the willingness to have this debate on the Irish dairy sector. It is very hard to encapsulate in ten minutes what is going on because a great deal is happening. The Minister was struggling to cover everything given the amount of information on what is going on in the industry right now. Deputy Creed and I asked for this debate because even though an enormous shift will...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 Mar 2015)

Having recently dealt with two or three cases involving sexual or physical abuse of people in care, I find it very worrying that someone who may be contracted by the HSE could potentially have a conflict of interest. One of the tasks of the committee will be to ascertain how widespread is the...
