Catherine Connolly: I want to reserve and read the correspondence in respect of Foras na Gaeilge. I asked for the business case submitted to the Department for Foras na Gaeilge. I have read the correspondence. It refers to the business case for the North-South body that oversees it, but there is no business case in respect of what was submitted to the Department on the costs of moving into the new building etc.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (26 Apr 2018)

I thank Ms Licken, the Secretary General for the information so far and the further information on the Galway Picture Palace that is even more enlightening.

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (26 Apr 2018)
Catherine Connolly: On this issue, certain Deputies were interested in bringing in Nursing Homes Ireland generally. I had grave reservations about that because the organisation does not come under our remit. I had proposed that we invite the organisation to appear before the committee in regard to an aspect of the meeting, namely, the alleged meeting that was reported in the newspapers. As the Chairman stated...

Catherine Connolly: I note the real powers are shaking their heads.

Catherine Connolly: I am not against the Chairman's proposal but I would like clarity on what will be discussed and what documentation it will be asked to provide. I am not happy to have Nursing Homes Ireland appear before the committee without clarity around what documentation it will be asked to provide and the basis on which it will appear, in addition to our questioning it about the alleged meeting.
