- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Dec 2020)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the Chairman for the opportunity. Last week, we had the pleasure of meeting officials from the Department of Justice and the Prison Service to raise a number of issues.

The change that is being sold to us as an improvement is that we can raise whatever we want, as long as it is laundered through the Committee on Procedure first. That...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Dec 2020)
Marc MacSharry: Deputy Devlin made the point that some members are on the Committee on Procedure as well. I would have a real problem if a member of this committee who is also a member of the Committee on Procedure was asked to recuse himself or herself from a discussion on this matter.
