David Cullinane: Exactly. In a no-deal scenario my point is the biggest contingency we will have to deal with is what happens at the Border. With regard to the process, I welcome the fact that the Minister is making himself available for briefings. It might be useful if other Ministers make themselves available to spokespersons with regard to their respective sections of the Bill. This might be...

David Cullinane: The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, has said Britain and Ireland could reach a bilateral agreement on the issue. I do not know whether that is right, but he has said it.

David Cullinane: I have a brief supplementary question. I acknowledge the response on the easing of state aid rules and supports for the agrifood business from the European Union. That would be very useful. On costings, of course, Brexit is costing us. To be fair, however, if the Opposition brought forward a Bill, the first thing we would be asked is how much would it cost. As we are going to be asked to...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: I wish to make a wider point. I realise we are dealing with the letter from the Secretary General of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. I will deal with that in a moment. I raised this matter at the last meeting and I need your guidance, Chairman, on how we will proceed with it now. When we first dealt with this we discussed the matter with the Secretary General of the...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: Yes, but primarily the Minister is responsible to the sectoral committees. The Accounting Officer, who is the Secretary General, is accountable to the Committee of Public Accounts. We are dealing with issues to do with process failures, systems failures and procedural failures, all of which fall under the remit of the Committee of Public Accounts. There are times of course when they also...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: It was done for the right reasons. In regard to the responses from Mr. Watt and Mr. Quinn, it is not acceptable for Mr. Quinn to simply say that the Accounting Officer, that is, the Secretary General, is coming in so that covers him. The Accounting Officer did not sit on the board, Mr. Quinn did and he is the person who must answer the questions. How can the Accounting Officer answer...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: At some point, we will report on the initial hearing we had with the Department and the board. I cannot sign off on that report because I do not think we were able to do our job. Furthermore, as was said by Deputy Kelly, whatever discussions we had are almost insignificant now because of all the information that emerged afterwards. We have to have that meeting again. The contributions made...
