Public Accounts Committee: 2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 39 - Office of Government Procurement (2 Mar 2021)

Seán Sherlock: Mr. Quinn says that the OGP has transposed the directive faithfully, verbatim, if I understand him correctly. It is not a leading question but it would be worrying if we are not using reserved contracts to encourage certain categories of workers who are able to access them. One would hope that the OGP would be as proactive as possible, especially in the disability sector and social enterprise.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Children's Unmet Needs: Engagement with Health Service Executive (2 Mar 2021)

Seán Sherlock: I am in the 1932 annexe to Leinster House, the little-known annexe at the back of the building. I thank the witnesses for coming before us. I will put my questions to the witnesses in a rapid-fire way. The questions are short, and I hope to get short answers as I only have seven minutes. Has there been a discussion internally on the ethical basis on which the SOP has been devised and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Children's Unmet Needs: Engagement with Health Service Executive (2 Mar 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Children's Unmet Needs: Engagement with Health Service Executive (2 Mar 2021)

Seán Sherlock: Parliamentary questions are the limited power Deputies have in respect of getting answers. To be fair to the HSE, I always receive comprehensive replies to my questions. I submitted a parliamentary question in September 2020, which sought the numbers on the initial assessment nationally. The figure that came back was 13,273. I tabled the same question in December and the same cohort had...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Children's Unmet Needs: Engagement with Health Service Executive (2 Mar 2021)

Seán Sherlock: I welcome this process and see it as being part of an ongoing process of communication with the HSE and Dr. Morgan and the team so I welcome most of the responses. It gives rise to further questions but we will interrogate them in due course. The €7.8 million is still hanging out there for me. I received a reply to a parliamentary question dated 22 December from Dr. Morgan in...
