- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Financial Statement 2015 (15 Jul 2016)

- Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016)
Marc MacSharry: I am glad to have the opportunity to make a few points. This is the most serious challenge to face Ireland's attractiveness for foreign direct investment since the time of Lemass. The European Commission has been remarkably political in how it made this announcement. At the initial press conference the relevant Commissioner said this was the most important day politically for President...
- Topical Issue Debate: Local Authority Funding (27 Sep 2016)
Marc MacSharry: Time is short, given I am sharing time with Deputy Martin Kenny, who I am glad is also raising this issue. The Minister is well aware of the situation. On 14 September I sought a meeting with him and the key official involved in this issue. As of today, nobody has met with me. A private meeting took place last week with Deputy Tony McLoughlin, after which he managed to successfully return...

- Topical Issue Debate: Local Authority Funding (27 Sep 2016)
Marc MacSharry: The reality on the ground is that this plan was never workable. We can hide behind the fact that the Minister said it was not rammed down Sligo's throat as a plan that it had to adopt. Deputy Martin Kenny referred to a surplus of €4 million. The Minister then read out the amounts of €3.4 million and €3.1 million. What is the difference? If we go back a few years to...
- Topical Issue Debate: Local Authority Funding (27 Sep 2016)
Marc MacSharry: Excuse me. Will the Minister go to the assistant secretary in question and ask him why he did not have the manners to acknowledge his own elected representatives and meet a Senator, which he did not, and the Minister so far has refused to do the same? The Minister should remember what is behind the confidence and supply agreement because one cannot just take 65,000 people in Sligo and cast...
- Topical Issue Debate: Local Authority Funding (27 Sep 2016)
