Marc MacSharry: The legislation provides for guidelines. I asked the gentleman from education which section of the Act prescribed that and he quoted the section of the Act which allowed for the making of the guidelines.

Marc MacSharry: I did not say that. If an allegation is made against me, I am not the one to investigate it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 May 2018)
Marc MacSharry: The point was made but nothing is happening about it. The Chairman is indicating to me that he is not in favour of an independent investigation of this. If he is not, he is not.

Marc MacSharry: That is into our next report. If the Chairman does not want to take my proposal now, take it the next day. It is that an independent investigation be carried out either by the Department or the HEA into what we now believe to be one to three protected disclosures because of the interpretation. The first of those is the one where the KPMG report was. If one goes through the transcript, we...

Marc MacSharry: I do not need them to be here. I just want their view on it. On that, I note that when the Department of Health wrote to the CPP last week to try to stop the Chairman proceeding with the meeting, by 5 p.m. that evening the Office of the Parliamentary Legal Advisor had a full legal position. That took a matter of hours but it is weeks since I brought this up. Is there a problem? Did we...

Marc MacSharry: I am not saying we will be guided by that.

Marc MacSharry: In the interest of the State, in the interest of value for money which is our work here, given the costs of the IBRC liquidation and the fact that we had a recommendation in our last report, I have reasons to believe that if we made contact with this person and asked him if he would like to engage with us, that we can ask pertinent questions, and would that allow him to pull back from your...

The question I ask is, "Is there anything wrong legally with us doing this?", as opposed to "Give us lots of reasons why not to do it". It is, "Can we award the try?", as opposed to, "Give us an analysis of the game?"
