Chapter 5 - Accounting for Allied Services (22 Oct 2020) Marc MacSharry: I am conscious that we need to be consistent, that we cannot moan about the former Minister of State, Mr. D'Arcy, on one hand and encourage Mr. Watt on the other, but that is an aside. The point is, reappointing these people against the guidelines we have is akin to reappointing the financial regulator after the bank bailout. At the same time as that organisation is presiding over the good...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Nov 2020)
Marc MacSharry: I agree 100% with that. I propose we write to the Committee on Procedure and ask them to outline precisely the process for amending Standing Orders of the House. When we get that answer, members of the committee can consider through our own parties and groups whether we seek to do that. Like Deputy Catherine Murphy, I agree that the Kerins ruling has been applied overzealously to try to...

Marc MacSharry: In two years' time.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Nov 2020)
Marc MacSharry: There is nothing to stop us coming up with our own suggested Standing Order. It is a matter for the weight of our individual self-interests and our political groups as to whether our parties will back that at the reform committee.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Nov 2020)
Marc MacSharry: I agree.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Nov 2020)
Marc MacSharry: Others have.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Nov 2020)
Marc MacSharry: I support the course of action that the committee has decided. I agree with the Comptroller and Auditor General that there is no change, but the additions prescribe every opportunity we would otherwise have had to discuss other issues. The proof is in the pudding. A substitute clerk was in attendance on the day, but he also happened to be the previous clerk to the committee. Deputy Carthy...

They will be familiar with me raising the IBRC liquidation previously, going back to my interest in having a committee of inspection appointed to the liquidation. It is the biggest liquidation in the history of Europe and has been ongoing since February 2013. I am aware that subsequent to us raising it here that legal cases were brought relating to oversight. I...

Chapter 1 - Exchequer Financial Outturn for 2019
Chapter 17 - Ireland Apple Escrow Fund (5 Nov 2020) Marc MacSharry: That would be good. The other query about it at the time was that, apart from the fees being low, and I am sure these particular liquidators are the exception, in the past accountancy firms have been known to add hours to the time measure and stick that time into liquidation A or liquidation B. That is the reason for oversight. I have no doubt that the hourly rates are competitive. Indeed,...
