- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I ask the board to look into those nine cases, see what they are and give us a note on it. That is relevant; very much so. It seems that, since 2007, we have been throwing around €2 billion of the people's money based on a plan that has been developed on the hoof. It is going to develop further, and I concur completely with Deputy Kelly. I have seen nothing here today to give me...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cardiac Service Provision (5 Feb 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the Minister, but unfortunately the facts do not bear out what he has said. Is the review that was commissioned and begun in January 2018 being prepared in Aramaic, hieroglyphics or some other ancient text or form of writing? It does not take a year. I do not mean any personal disrespect to the Minister, but increasingly Ministers are becoming commentators, and very expensive...

Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach (7 Feb 2019) Marc MacSharry: We need Mr. Fraser to do a little bit more than speak generally because we focused heavily on this matter the last time.
