Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Mar 2021)

Matt Carthy: I recognise Deputy Catherine Murphy's concerns but I believe this to be well within the remit of the Committee of Public Accounts.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Mar 2021)

Matt Carthy: One of the more bizarre and unfortunate consequences of Brexit has been the impact of Revenue's interpretation of third country rules on second-hand car sales.
