Public Accounts Committee: Investigations by Revenue into Authorised Officers Report (4 Dec 2014)

Joe Costello: My second question was whether there was a treasure trove. This project is as late as 2009 and is ongoing. This indicates that, having worked on it since 1998 or 1999, and before it on various matters, and having found a large sum of money that is still out there in the ether, there is reason to believe there is more. How is the investigation? How many people does Ms Feehily have working...

Palestine: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (10 Dec 2014)

Joe Costello: I welcome the Palestinian and Moroccan ambassadors to the House. I congratulate Sinn Féin on tabling this motion calling for an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine and recognising the state of Palestine. It is particularly interesting that a similar motion has already been passed in the Seanad unanimously. It would be quite unprecedented if in this House the motion were passed...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Dec 2014)

Joe Costello: I have no problem with the work programme. Did we cover the item that came from Mr. Jim Breslin, Secretary General of the Department of Health, regarding the national paediatric hospital and the further information on same?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Dec 2014)

Joe Costello: Yes. I am sorry if I missed it. I suggest that the correspondence is inadequate and does not fully provide the information that was requested. The information that has come to us has come from the Department itself, but we also requested that the board send some information. While this correspondence relates to certain matters that were discussed, information on other issues was required...

He has had great time for the credit union movement and what it has done throughout this country over the years. The board of the Irish League of Credit Unions is currently being restructured following the circumstances that...

Joe Costello: Those are general statements, without going into the particulars or the details. The situation is very much better than what happened to some of the other financial institutions around the State. The banking institutions just went out the back door and put an incredible burden on the country in terms of what everybody has had to sacrifice over that period. To put this in context, this is...
