- Public Accounts Committee: Report of Comptroller and Auditor General 2016
Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: It is not the role of the committee to comment on policy either. In terms of the committee's work, we commented earlier on the issue of additional regulation and if with additional funding the HSE could do more on the section 39 issues discussed at that time. Would it make better sense for the hospice network, in terms of doing its work, to be treated as a section 38 organisation?

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: I recommend that following this meeting the committee write to the Ministers for Public Expenditure and Reform and Health, requesting a detailed examination within a specific timeframe on the voluntary hospice network being treated as section 38 agencies as opposed to section 39 agencies in order to deal with the question arising.

- Private Rental Sector Standards: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I welcome the opportunity to address this important issue in Sinn Féin's Private Members' time. I support the amendment and, as Deputy Cowen stated, the Fianna Fáil Party will not oppose the motion because we all want the same thing. We heard about the RTÉ programme and, as Deputy Cowen also stated, we want NCT-style inspections of private rented accommodation. The...

Marc MacSharry: 638. To ask the Minister for Health the reason, further to an order to require discovery in November 2016 by the High Court, his Department has not complied with this order as of 9 October 2017; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that persons are suffering as a result of alleged mistreatment by way of the administration of the pandemrix vaccine without full information being made...

- Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (8 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I wish to share time with Deputies Murphy O'Mahony and Niamh Smyth. If the Acting Chairman could tell me when I am at three and a third minutes, it would be great. I support the Bill being put forward. I have to express sincere regret at the tone and content of the Minister of State's contribution. I know that it is not personal and that a departmental official would have assisted in...
- Cannabis for Medicinal Use Regulation Bill 2016 Report: Motion [Private Members] (9 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the Joint Committee on Health for the work it has done on this issue and Deputy Gino Kenny for introducing legislation on medicinal cannabis as it has focused minds on the issue. I agree with Deputy Kenny that if a task is onerous, it does not mean it cannot be done. It is not a question of laziness in the Civil Service or political circles. If the Bill is flawed and requires work,...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: My understanding is that the High Court is finished with it and it has two interpretations of the decision. NUIG and St. Angela's College have formally merged now but to advance that in terms of the taking over of the property NUIG's legal people are taking one interpretation of the implications of this case and the owners of St. Angela's, namely, the nuns, are taking another interpretation...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I would have preferred if we were able to deal with the issue publicly.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: No, the individual in question made a big song and dance about the need for me to recuse myself, which does not apply. I proposed a public session previously on it. He is alleging that public money was used in pursuit of a legal case to resolve property matters involving third parties, namely, the nuns, as opposed to St. Angela's College itself.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: Could we formally ask the HEA whether given its familiarity with the issue it feels that any of the allegations being made by the individual who has approached the PAC require further examination by the PAC?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: Yes, but the HEA is not going to investigate misappropriation of funds if that is the case. That is our gig.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I sense the HEA will know this case back to front-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: -----and because nothing is happening it is coming to us as a result. I am not consulting either party.

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: It is the only constituent college of UCG north of a line from Dublin to Galway. If a note is being sent back, while it is clear that I will be outvoted I would put on record that I would prefer that we did give this a hearing. I wish to just state that.
