Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Nov 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: We should note the correspondence. I share Deputy Cullinane's concerns, not alone that this might prove to be a pretext to limit the questions we ask but, more to the point, it might be the single transferable answer to questions that are provided by the witness today. While noting the fact of the investigation and this correspondence, it would not be acceptable for a witness to come before...
