Marc MacSharry: Would he agree that it is unusual?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)
Marc MacSharry: My worry here is that obviously this is the biggest liquidation in history for Ireland and comparable, as I said, to many international ones. On the level of scrutiny and challenge that must be in play on an ongoing basis, it is clear from the answers that I got, and Mr. McCarthy will see the ones because the meeting had started when I circulated the other ones, that the Department of...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I appreciate that there is no role. However, we do not need Mr. McCarthy, with the best of respect to him, to bring it up. Here I am bringing it up. We can decide to press ahead notwithstanding what Mr. McCarthy will refer to that may or may not be linked to the specifics of my issue.

Marc MacSharry: The Department of Finance and its Accounting Officer are the people who appointed KPMG after what has to be described as not a full public tender. KPMG is certainly capable of this kind of work - of course it is - but this was not a full public tender. The Department basically interviewed the four big firms and chose KPMG. I am not saying there is a major issue with that. I presume there...

Marc MacSharry: I am sure it will be. I am not totally fluent in the Companies Act or the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Act. It is provided for in the Companies Act.

Alternatively, it...

Marc MacSharry: I know we agreed this earlier but just for clarification, will the clerk come back with an indicative date for the engagement with the Secretary General? In addition, is it agreed that we will ask the liquidators to come in on the same day?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)
Marc MacSharry: We might have to go the Minister anyway and, in fairness, I think it was agreed that we would look at the possibility of having the Minister before the committee. We agreed to an engagement with the Secretary General and we said we would see, following that, whether a Minister might come before the committee. Could we not have the liquidators in on the same day?

Marc MacSharry: On pages 65 and 66 of A Programme for a Partnership Government, specific reference is made to mental health and, in particular, the strategic plan for suicide prevention, namely, Connecting for Life. There has been positive coverage in the media today in respect of the reduction in the number of deaths by suicide. This news is certainly welcome but, unfortunately, we are far better at...
