Marc MacSharry: I am sorry to bring it up, but time is obviously finite. Last week, with the Comptroller and Auditor General, we dealt with no valuations in some instances and one that was out of date by ten years. What is the Comptroller and Auditor General's view on that? How can he stand over something when capital assets are either not valued or are very seriously undervalued?

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: It is a poor practice, however accepted it may be. The GPO Arcade was a property that we had as an example last week. It was valued at €895,000 but the rent was €200,000 a year.

Marc MacSharry: There have been poor responses to parliamentary questions submitted by you, Chairman, and myself to do with cases where property has accrued to the State as a result of company default.
