- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Apr 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I asked whether the Prison Service or the Department would be aware. The Chairman should go through what was said. The questions were legally drafted because I knew this was a serious thing. Why am I doing this? Why are any of us doing this? We are doing this to try to improve a system that may need improvement.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Apr 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I did not think up a bunch of vexatious issues outside the room. I came in and asked in the best possible way and without remotely identifying anyone or pointing any fingers to see if we could get some of these matters investigated. Instead, we said it was nothing to do with the Prison Service or Department of Justice and Equality and decided to send it to An Garda Síochána. That...

Marc MacSharry: That is not what the Chairman said.

Marc MacSharry: We are reaching, to be honest.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Apr 2019)
Marc MacSharry: We are reaching for a reason. We see these tactics continuously. It undermines the useful work of the committees. I hate feeling managed. That was my experience in some ways with at the banking inquiry, and this is more of the same. It is nothing personal but I have to escalate this to the Committee on Procedure because it has implications for all members and future members of this and...

Marc MacSharry: It is not a criticism of the Chairman. This is not a personal thing.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Apr 2019)
Marc MacSharry: The Chairman states that he made a unilateral decision and is getting advice from elsewhere that happens to concur with his position. My legal advice is that there are implications for the work of these committees.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Apr 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I checked in advance of the previous meeting. As matters stand, for the record, my work last week was futile because the relevant Accounting Officer was told not to answer any of my questions as it was up to the committee. The Chairman is stating that it was not up to the committee but, rather, that it was up to him as Chair. That is not what he said last week.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Apr 2019)
Marc MacSharry: At minimum, the Chairman might correct the record of the transcription last week which implied three times that I was acting unilaterally and was in here of my own accord asking questions which were not relevant and were not allowed and that the other 12 members together would have to adjudicate on the thing. I have delayed the meeting enough. I have to go to the meeting of the Committee of...

Marc MacSharry: Hear, hear.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Apr 2019)
Marc MacSharry: A distinction that is not being made is that, be they Angela Kerins and Rehab, the FAI yesterday or anything else, these are section 38 and section 39 organisations. With Departments and State agencies, though, the situation is totally different. There has been a great deal of misinformation about this in the media. I agree with Deputy Connolly.

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 May 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Is the Taoiseach aware of a crisis in the provision of home care packages throughout the various community healthcare organisations, CHOs? It seems that industrial relations commitments, including the provision of expenses for travel, have hoovered up most of the additional funding allocated by the HSE to CHOs. Many CHO areas are now in a position whereby they must cease issuing home care...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 May 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I have no difficulty with what the Chairman said at the last meeting because I joined him, as many did at that meeting, in agreeing with it. At the end of the day, we cannot have the contestants judging the beauty pageant. There is effective admission here that the same few personnel were involved. However, what worries me even more is that the Secretary General does not see a conflict of...
