- Public Accounts Committee: Report on Reopening of Garda Stations: Acting Garda Commissioner (28 Sep 2017)
Catherine Connolly: Again, I am very conscious that the justice committee would look at the detail, but this committee is about the value for money aspect.

- Public Accounts Committee: Report on Reopening of Garda Stations: Acting Garda Commissioner (28 Sep 2017)
Catherine Connolly: In the interests of openness, if the Government makes a decision in relation to one Garda station based on a draft report, which is a work in progress, would it not be prudent that this would be put before the relevant committees?

- Public Accounts Committee: Health Information and Quality Authority: Financial Statement 2016 (28 Sep 2017)
Catherine Connolly: I welcome the witnesses. It strikes me that they are overstretched and understaffed, particularly if I consider the range of activities in which they are involved.
