- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Mar 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: I agree with Deputy Murphy. What is also concerning is the timing of key decisions, as they seem to be made immediately prior to meetings of the Committee of Public Accounts, which are well scheduled and flagged. That is not satisfactory. I hope that on the next occasion we do not have significant changes at the very last minute again. The committee has been left in no position.

Paul McAuliffe: Yes. The question is around whether there is a potential liability to the taxpayer. The Cathaoirleach is right; PFAS are mostly used for firefighting foam and that is an historical issue. Will the DAA take up the responsibility or will there be an impact for the Department? That is the focus of my concern and I do not think that was answered, but maybe we did not put that across strongly...
