Alan Kelly: Chairman-----

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)

Alan Kelly: I compliment the Chairman on a very good piece of work because we were getting a bigger picture seeing the overall pie.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)

Alan Kelly: Yes. We have thrashed it out and that is why I want to reach to some conclusion.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)

Alan Kelly: Can we get some clarity on that? This issue was raised here previously and in the Dáil. I raised it by means of parliamentary questions a long time ago. It was raised at this committee; it was raised by Deputy MacSharry more than by me. We need to get clarity on this. Given what we now know, somewhere here there is an issue with the term and length of these contracts and the...

Getting on to the universities and colleges, I have serious concerns about the evidence given here by the HEA and the manner in which that was done. I also have concerns about the way reports and investigations are being done....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Benefacts Project: Discussion (13 Feb 2018)

Alan Kelly: I was listening to the commentary. I imagine a member of the public would not be able to distinguish between the role of Benefacts and that of the Charities Regulator. I have had an interest in Benefacts for some time. As the representatives of Benefacts are aware, I raised questions about the organisation in my role as a member of the Committee of Public Accounts. Obviously, this is the...
