Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Marc MacSharry: Hammond Lane was leased out under licence to a construction company. Did the OPW require planning permission to do that for a change of use? Was it applied for? What is the situation? Obviously, as a result of that move, the OPW was able to avoid the vacant site levy. I am aware the Hawkins House site has planning permission for a ten-story building. The Apollo House site next door...

- Written Answers — Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection: One-Parent Family Payment (12 Nov 2020)
Marc MacSharry: 268. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if she will review the anomaly whereby a person (details supplied) cannot be awarded reckonable credits for the period during which they were in receipt of the one-parent family payment and subsequent welfare payment due to the fact that immediately prior to claiming the payment the person was on a community employment...

Chapter 4 – Control over Welfare Payments (12 Nov 2020) Marc MacSharry: I want to praise the heroic work of the Department in achieving what was done to keep us all in funds in such a short period and during such difficult times, cross-departmentally. There was support from Revenue and other sources, but the Department has outdone itself. In the post-Covid environment, the Department will probably be under savage pressure because expectations will be...

Chapter 4 – Control over Welfare Payments (12 Nov 2020) Marc MacSharry: That is good. The other point I mentioned at the beginning concerns a person fraudulently claiming a welfare payment who is found to have an underlying entitlement to another different payment. I refer to the net excess payment. Will Mr. McKeon tell us about that situation?

Chapter 4 – Control over Welfare Payments (12 Nov 2020) Marc MacSharry: I thank Mr. McKeon. I will conclude by mentioning that the Department is the example in respect of the turnaround time in answering queries from Deputies and Senators, generally. The response time is very good. I wish other Departments would look to the Department of Social Protection as the benchmark in their approach to replying to our queries. I just wanted to put that on record.

Marc MacSharry: 724. To ask the Minister for Health when a person (details supplied) in County Sligo will receive treatment for Parkinson’s disease with Duodopa; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36282/20]
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Nov 2020)
Marc MacSharry: I know we cannot get into policy and that kind of stuff here. I am just throwing this out as a thought. We know that Caranua is winding up and we have concerns. Notwithstanding that it is coming before the committee, we can take it that what is in this letter will be its position when it answers questions in December. Although it would be up to the committee to decide, perhaps the clerk...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Nov 2020)
Marc MacSharry: There was a lot in it and I do not know if anyone had an opportunity to go through it in any detail. I know the secretariat is extremely busy but did anyone consider it? Did the legal team consider it? A lot of work has gone into it and the author believes there is a serious issue that needs to be visited. He has probably contacted all of us in different capacities through the years. I...
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: Key Priorities for Sport Ireland and Impact of Covid-19 on Sports Sector: Sport Ireland (18 Nov 2020)
Marc MacSharry: I welcome the witnesses. I am a substitute for Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan. To make it crystal clear, because I am going to follow a similar line to Deputy Munster, my questions are not personal. There is, however, a constitutional responsibility in respect of governance and appropriate governance. On the reappointment of the chairman, first of all, did Mr. Mulvey seek the reappointment?
