Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: We had correspondence telling the liquidators not to come between the Department, if Mr. Moran recalls. It was something we were unhappy about, if Mr. Moran recalls that meeting.

Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: It was the previous Friday. Why does somebody not discontinue the case or go to somebody to mediate and say, "Let us do a deal here"? These people are not looking for compensation or money, to the best of my knowledge. I have read the statement of claim for one of them. I was not aware of the others. Nobody I am aware of is looking to make money here. They are looking for the same thing...

Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: I agree, but this is not new. None of us, the Chairman included, is bound to support or repeat the mistakes of the past, but it is reasonable that we would learn from them. I cannot imagine the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, saying to the Secretary General that he notes he has a proposal here for a committee of inspection, that he is sorry he is not agreeing to it and that the legislation was...

Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: It is not. I appreciate it might be a Government decision, but can Mr. Moran go back to the Department and sort these two cases?

Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: Okay. I hope the two applicants are watching today and saying, "Let us sort these cases and give us the scrutiny that we want". Unfortunately, the glorified kind of PowerPoint presentation that comes out as the periodic report is not the kind of oversight that I am talking about. I do not think I have anything else to raise. I thank Mr. Moran.

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Irish Prison Service (11 Jun 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for accepting this important issue for discussion. I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Stanton, for being here. With no disrespect to him, I am disappointed the senior Minister could not be available given the issues at stake. Through my work in the Committee of Public Accounts since last January questioning and researching for the questioning of the Irish...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Irish Prison Service (11 Jun 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I appreciate there was a pre-prepared statement for the Minister of State to read and I appreciate him being here. I am doing this with the benefit of Dáil privilege because the shutters come down, whether at meetings of the Committee of Public Accounts or the justice committee, in the media or in written and oral parliamentary questions. Everybody knows what is going on but nobody...

Marc MacSharry: The Deputy is the Minister of State. That is what I am doing here.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jun 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Yes, I request that it be held over. Deputies Connolly and Kelly have a particular interest in this matter and we could have a useful discussion about it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jun 2019)
Marc MacSharry: We could do that but it is not answerable to this committee. That is the only difference.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jun 2019)
Marc MacSharry: These are all important matters but the issue came up at another meeting, presumably because of dual membership between this committee and other committees-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jun 2019)
Marc MacSharry: People probably had these documents. That is probably what happened yesterday.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jun 2019)
Marc MacSharry: That is grand. There was €1 million spent on public relations.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jun 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I have nothing against the firm, and the contract was tendered, but I wonder how would €1 million in public relations be required to build a hospital. Is it about spinning the right story? We should get a detailed breakdown of what this involves.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jun 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Yes, and what work was carried out and how necessary it was. I am not trying to get at the PR company but I am interested to know why a PR company is needed to build a hospital.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jun 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I have one more point and the Chairman can let in other people as I do not want to be annoying people. I asked a question with regard to the considering of tenders generally. I mentioned that the contractor involved is also in what I am told up are to nine litigation cases against the State regarding other contracts. Would this not be taken into consideration? If somebody built our house...
