Public Accounts Committee: Tipperary Education and Training Board and Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board: Financial Statements (16 Nov 2017)

David Cullinane: Can we start the clock again? Perhaps at this point we can put the questions to Mr. Ruttle. From what he said, not only did he not get advice on what he can or cannot say, he is of the view that he is independent and can speak freely. He can, therefore, help this committee, notwithstanding the accountable person's view.

Public Accounts Committee: Tipperary Education and Training Board and Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board: Financial Statements (16 Nov 2017)

David Cullinane: -----return to this matter and bring the witnesses back again at some point, we will. We will stay here all night if we have to.

There is no legal impediment whatsoever to the witnesses answering the questions that are being...

Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (22 Nov 2017)

David Cullinane: My colleague was diplomatic in responding to the Fianna Fáil contributions. I will not be as diplomatic because I believe some of them were rather cynical. It seems there was almost a competition among some of the colleagues to see who would come up with the best excuse not to support the Bill. An Teachta Ó Cuív won hands-down with his cynical remarks to the effect that...

Finance Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (23 Nov 2017)

David Cullinane: Sinn Féin will oppose the amendment. While speaking on the issue, I am deeply conscious that I am filling in for Teachta Doherty, who has gone out for his tea. Most likely, he is having beans, chips and a can of Coke. He is one of those people who should be in the Chamber to listen to this. He is one of those people who likes soft drinks but still supports the principle of the tax. ...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Nov 2017)

David Cullinane: Mr. Barrett mentioned that, apart from these two officers, others were seconded into the unit. Is that correct?
