- National Cervical Screening Programme: Statements (1 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I have a couple of quick points. I thought there would be questions but that will not be the case. The Minister can take them as questions and come back to the House later. Why is the State not paying the €8,500 every three weeks for Vicky Phelan's treatment? She is doing that out of her own pocket or the goodwill of friends and family through a GoFundMe page. We need to do...
- Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Inland Fisheries (1 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: 348. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment if in addition to seeking funding from the Exchequer for financial supports for former eel fishermen who have been affected by the ban on eel fishing, he will also seek Exchequer funding for eel fishery owners who continue to pay annual rates even though eel fishing has been banned; and if he will make a statement on...
- Mental Health Parity Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (2 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I know the topic is no stranger to the Minister of State at the Department of Health with special responsibility for disabilities, Deputy Finian McGrath, and I do not doubt his personal commitment. It is a shame the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Jim Daly, could not make time to be here for the entire debate because it is a very serious matter. There are not many...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach (3 May 2018) Marc MacSharry: Before you start the clock, Chairman, I would like to get some clarification. When I wrote in to ask the committee to consider the matter relating to the strategic communications unit, I understood that we would have been inviting people specific to that unit not just the Secretary General. I know he is trying to answer the questions we are putting to him, but I do not recall us deciding...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach (3 May 2018) Marc MacSharry: Yes, I know that, but none of them was attached to the strategic communications unit. Why is that? It is done now, but I do not remember us as a committee making such a decision, in particular about witnesses at assistant secretary and principal officer level. I do not know whether I inquired of you, Chairman, or whether it was the clerk or fellow members as to when we would be dealing...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach (3 May 2018) Marc MacSharry: I can see that it is difficult for the Secretary General to answer some of the questions, but that is what I expected of today. With respect to the Secretary General, I am not on the Committee of Public Accounts exclusively to look at issues from a couple of years ago when accounts are available. If an issue arises today, I will ask a question about it because I see that as part of my role...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach (3 May 2018) Marc MacSharry: I say that because of the Secretary General’s response that we have gone away from the 2016 accounts. Before we start the clock, to be quite honest, I am probably going to say very little about the 2016 accounts.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach (3 May 2018) Marc MacSharry: I am also just going to start with a question that is very up to date, as in, from this morning. I hope that is not a problem for the Secretary General.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach (3 May 2018) Marc MacSharry: I will start. In terms of communications, does the State Claims Agency keep Mr. Fraser or the Department of the Taoiseach abreast of how things are going, how many cases there are, or any problems that arise?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach (3 May 2018) Marc MacSharry: I am just asking about communications. Are there pathways for communications so that the Department of the Taoiseach is kept abreast of events in various Departments, such as if a national scandal arose or there was something cooking beneath the bonnet that might blow and might have an impact on society? Are there any update mechanisms? I know there is the Civil Service Management Board....
- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach (3 May 2018) Marc MacSharry: I clarified that earlier. I do not mean to be disrespectful to Mr. Fraser but, equally, if he was misled to think there was a very narrow focus today, then I apologise.
