Marc MacSharry: 855. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence his plans to proceed to force the retirement of all privates and corporals serving in the Defence Forces who joined post-1994, once they reach 21 years service; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10448/17]
- Written Answers — Department of Defence: Defence Forces Retirements (28 Feb 2017)
Marc MacSharry: 856. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence his views on whether the potential forced retirement of relatively young post-1994 recruited privates and corporals who have served 21 years, while sergeants and senior officers are permitted to continue, is discrimination; if a cost-benefit assessment has been done on the loss of expertise from those members who may be potentially forced to...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (1 Mar 2017)
Marc MacSharry: This is relevant to pages 59 and 64 of the programme for Government. Deputy Micheál Martin raised the issue of Orkambi during Leaders' Questions. I raised it two weeks ago and again yesterday. The Taoiseach made fun of, giggled over and made comparisons with comments of a derogatory nature by other Deputies. As of 15 minutes ago, the office of the Minister, the HSE or the Department...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (1 Mar 2017)
Marc MacSharry: With respect to the Taoiseach, in his wisdom he did not make me Minister for Health. If he had, we would not be waiting around for six months to get answers.

- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Marc MacSharry: I thank the witnesses for coming in and for the presentation. I have some questions on local government borrowing. Is it correct that the cumulative amount owed by local authorities would be in the region of €4 billion?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Marc MacSharry: That is fine. Would the terms and conditions of those loans be as I might negotiate myself, that is, that they are paying normal retail rates to commercial lenders throughout the country? Would that be fair to say?

Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Marc MacSharry: Would we not seek to do that through the NTMA as well?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Marc MacSharry: Are there any views within the Department that it would like to see that moved exclusively to - while perhaps not the HFA - the NTMA directly or some other entity that would ensure that all borrowing was done on a centralised basis on the best possible terms?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Marc MacSharry: Of course, but the option is still open to local authorities if they want money and it is not coming from the HFA and related to that. If Meath County Council wanted €10 million it is up to it to ask AIB what its best offer is.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Marc MacSharry: My question initially was: is there any move in the Department, or is it Mr. McCarthy's view or would he undertake measures to try to have all borrowing for local authorities done by a vehicle that would ensure that instead of paying 8% commercially they might be closer to the 1.5% he mentioned if, for example, Meath County Council wanted to borrow €10 million to develop a park in the...
