- Public Accounts Committee: HEA Financial Statements 2017 (18 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I meant to wish Dr. Love well earlier and express regret that he is moving on. Wherever he is headed, the best of luck. A number of things arise from our last engagement that I want to put on record. On that specific disclosure, in June 2018, the vice-president said that the person did not engage. In October 2012, the discloser requested a meeting with the president, the...

- Public Accounts Committee: HEA Financial Statements 2017 (18 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I ask the chairman, Mr. Horgan to take my last comments on board on the basis that Dr. Love will be moving on, because it is important that it is reflected in the record. Turning to Mr. Ó Foghlú, we will be coming to this matter at a meeting in our work programme; we have discussed loosely here without firming it up that we are going to invite him in again with the Department of...

Marc MacSharry: There is probably a very good explanation for everything but it is just the complexion looks a bit off.

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Waiting Lists (23 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: What action will be taken to address the long outpatient waiting times in Sligo University Hospital where 1,136 persons are waiting more than 18 months for an appointment?
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Waiting Lists (23 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: It is good news that there will be more money available in 2019 but in terms of the here and now there are 1,136 people waiting. When the Minister took office in May 2016 there were 65 in the same category. That is a seventeenfold increase in that time. Nationally, the Minister is aware that the outpatient lists have hit another record high of 515,547 with almost 150,000 of those patients...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Waiting Lists (23 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I would like to see the Minister positively discriminate against the north west of the country in terms of the 40,000 places that will be funded through the NTPF. It always worries me when the Minister puts the onus on the hospital to come up with a plan. We are driving the bus up here, at least we should be. People have been waiting for a long time not just for ENT but for the full range...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Report on Local Public Banking: Discussion (23 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: As I have to ask a question in the Dáil in about two minutes, I will ask some quick questions and check the Official Report for the answers. I commend everyone present for their efforts, but I am particularly interested in what Mr. Maye said. He mentioned regulatory capture, but there is also political capture. Are we captured by the Central Bank that tells us what we can and cannot...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I appreciate we have correspondence and a good deal of work to get through but given the seriousness of the issue involving the 40 schools and media indications that the number will be even more than that, we need to allocate an unforeseen but serious level of priority to examining that issue. When the Secretary General of the Department of Education and Skills appeared before the committee...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: That is an important point. I note from media coverage that the company involved raised the fact that the Department was there every week or every two weeks inspecting, but who was inspecting? Was it administrative staff, a structural engineer or a quantity surveyor? Also, there are issues around planning enforcement in terms of planning and building regulations with respect to the impact...

Marc MacSharry: Can we go back?

Marc MacSharry: I am aware of this case and I do not concur with the briefing note. I am concerned that the HSE is not fully up to speed with the situation. The HSE did not exist in 1997 so, presumably, the reference is to the relevant health board. This group was charging a daily rate, in the normal way, of €12.50 and, in addition, was charging people for incontinence wear. The issue was pursued...
