- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)
Alan Kelly: I appreciate the clarification about deficits. Following on from Deputy Cullinane's comments, we need to prioritise Dr. Love coming in here. We need to really prioritise it and put it at the top of our agenda. I found the letter saying that he was going to be very alarming. Its tone suggests that he possibly needs to talk to us.
