- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Remuneration of Senior Civil Servants: Discussion (2 Jun 2021)
Marc MacSharry: The Civil Service just ploughs along. If, under the Ministers and Secretaries Acts, a Minister wants to take issue with a Secretary General, for example, and wants to throw one out, he or she could, theoretically do that. In practice, however, none do so. Over the level of principal officer, in the Civil Service, therefore, we have no head and, in fact, there is no disciplinary process or...

Marc MacSharry: No. Is that not the case?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Remuneration of Senior Civil Servants: Discussion (2 Jun 2021)
Marc MacSharry: No. We talked earlier about the person who has got this job promoting and being happy with a culture where money is lost in a situation where that was preventable. It is a learning experience and there will be no disciplinary process. I am trying to get to the root of something here. The great T.K. Whitaker is recorded, in a book, as saying something to the effect that there can be no...

- Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Jun 2021)
Marc MacSharry: I thank our guests. Time is short with the way in which the Covid world has structured meetings of the Committee of Public Accounts these days, so I may cut in on them in their answers at times. This may seem rude and I apologise for that, but it may be necessary. Is it the university's current position that the former president lied to the Committee of Public Accounts?
- Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Jun 2021)
Marc MacSharry: What is Professor Mey's position, as interim president? I have a copy of the chancellor's letter to hand, but I want to know, for the record and for the benefit of the public, whether it is the university's position that the previous president lied to the Committee of Public Accounts.
- Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Jun 2021)
Marc MacSharry: He did not lie. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Jun 2021)
Marc MacSharry: The chancellor stated, "I understand that the evidence was not correct and that a correction or clarification was thereafter made to the Committee by one of the persons who attended the meeting on behalf of the University." I do not have the academic qualifications of our panellists, but if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is usually a duck. Is it the university’s...
- Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Jun 2021)

- Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Jun 2021)
Marc MacSharry: The McKenna report concluded it. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Jun 2021)
Marc MacSharry: According to the correspondence that came to me, the McKenna report found that the author was entirely satisfied, and found as a matter of fact, that the duties and responsibilities pertaining to the role of director of strategic projects and transformation were being carried out by a named person. I will not use the name but we know who we are talking about. The report went on to state the...
- Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Jun 2021)
Marc MacSharry: I am not concerned about the level of happiness of that person, I am concerned about the taxpayer only. There is no questioning the academic prowess of UL. Sadly what we have seen in terms of governance would not amount to that of a hedge school in a banana republic. So far this morning, I am not getting any confidence in line with the words of the interim president around what has changed...
