Catherine Connolly: We have raised this repeatedly and we should not have to waste our time doing this. It was openly said that there was no difficulty but we now have a draft report, which we will look at today without the benefit of correspondence which could have a material effect on the conclusions we draw. It is certainly material to the section of the report dealing with the Grace case.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 Dec 2017)
Catherine Connolly: The HSE was before us and its representatives said they would send us the correspondence between it and Deloitte, which was doing the report. It was indicated that there would be no difficulty in furnishing us with any correspondence reflecting the toing and froing relating to the draft report.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 Dec 2017)
Catherine Connolly: I certainly agree with that. Perhaps it is a small percentage overall. We will not know until we examine the figures again. It is about perception, however. People on the ground supplying services must have confidence in the system. It is important that we follow up on this regardless of the amount.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 Dec 2017)
Catherine Connolly: That is the point I made. It is not to do with the percentage but with perception and trust in the process.

Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Liquidation (14 Dec 2017) Catherine Connolly: No, and not on the Attorney General's side. It is not a reflection on the witnesses but it is certainly a reflection of the Department. I will come back to the general endorsement of claim that is being served and will pick up on a point made by Deputy Murphy on setting out the plaintiff's claim. Mr. Carville agreed with two and he could not disagree with them. There were only eight...

Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Liquidation (14 Dec 2017) Catherine Connolly: This is no game. I am not asking the witness to go through the document but I am referring to it because it is on my desk and the witnesses' desk. It clearly put the cat among the pigeons. That somebody would have to take a case to ensure accountability is a serious indictment of the failure of the Department of Finance to show it is open and accountable. These are simple declarations....

Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Liquidation (14 Dec 2017) Catherine Connolly: I am glad I am sitting, as €35 billion went into a speculators' bank, as has been acknowledged. It was there for speculation. We nationalised that bank and we are here in 2017 looking at a process of liquidation of what it became when it metamorphosed. Is that correct?
