Catherine Connolly: I welcome the opportunity to participate in this debate. I echo the comments that the time allocated to it is very short. I have read all 170 pages of the report and it would be helpful if Members had more time to go into its details. I welcome the comprehensive report and the blunt, clear language of Dr. Scally. He overstepped his brief, however, when he said we do not need a...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Sep 2018)
Catherine Connolly: The Chairman has let two speakers in already. The more I listen to this, the more I think there is a patriarchal paternalism coming across that we must protect the electorate in relation to information. It is actually getting worse.
