- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jun 2018)
David Cullinane: Institutes of technology cannot borrow. They are not allowed to borrow. They are also not allowed to have deficits. That is the difficulty here. Waterford Institute of Technology is not the only offender, but it would be useful if the committee wrote to the Higher Education Authority to ask for a breakdown of the finances of each institute of technology to ascertain which were in deficit....
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jun 2018)
David Cullinane: In the case of Waterford Institute of Technology, we should ascertain the up-to-date position. The accounts presented were from 2016. I know that containment measures were put in place, so it may well be out - or close to being out - of deficit.

I commend the people who have supported all these victims in recent years in their quest for justice and truth. It is important for us to note that there are dozens of victims who have not come forward. They...
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Brexit Negotiations (27 Jun 2018)
David Cullinane: 28. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the veto Ireland has over the Brexit negotiations; his plans to use it if there is no legal agreement on the working of the backstop arrangement in time for the EU June 2018 summit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27818/18]
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Brexit Negotiations (27 Jun 2018)
David Cullinane: My question is in respect of the current negotiations between Britain and the European Union in advance of the June summit and, specifically, the issues relating to the Irish backstop. If there is no agreement or progress on those issues, what veto does the Irish Government have in that regard? What are its plans to use any veto it might have to ensure we do not end up going into October...
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Brexit Negotiations (27 Jun 2018)
David Cullinane: With respect, it is not about making threats. It is about making sure we get agreement on issues on which we were told we had agreement. I have said consistently that my quarrel is not necessarily with the Tánaiste and the Irish Government but the benchmark that was set by all political parties in the political system here, which were supportive of the Irish approach to the...
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Brexit Negotiations (27 Jun 2018)
David Cullinane: We are exerting pressure on the Government so that this can, in turn, be exerted on the British Government and the EU. When the EU says that Ireland should come first, that must also mean that it should come first now. It is one thing for the EU to insist that progress be made, but progress must also be forced. Like many, I am concerned that we are heading towards October with all of the...

- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Brexit Negotiations (27 Jun 2018)
David Cullinane: It has. I read what it published a number of weeks ago. Effectively, it changed December's agreement, which was a solution for the North involving an alignment with the rules of the customs union and an extension of the implementation period. That backstop was meant to be an insurance policy in the event of there being no deal. I am concerned that, although there may be a deal, it...
- Pre-European Council: Statements (27 Jun 2018)
David Cullinane: Following the previous statements in advance of a Council meeting, the Tánaiste and the Taoiseach promised we would see real and significant progress at this summit in June on Brexit, the Irish issues associated with Brexit and the December and March agreements, which in the past were considered to be cast-iron guarantees. The benchmark set for achievement and delivery at this summit...
