Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (12 Jul 2018)

Michael D'Arcy: I agree with the Chairman. The funds show disrespect to the Oireachtas by their failure to appear.

Michael D'Arcy: I have a speech prepared but it will not touch on many of the issues that have been raised so I will try to address them as best I can.
