Catherine Connolly: Do I ask the council to please not do this? If it is going to include four houses, it should at least ask why they are empty and when they will be used. Does the Chairman think it might do that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 Dec 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I would not mind highlighting that I am fully aware that the council owns these properties. The disgrace is that they have been empty since 2007 up until 2019. How many years is that?

Catherine Connolly: It was not just not the full picture. "Misleading" would be a strong word but it was used to colour the Pálás Cinema as being at the centre of this cultural area of four houses. It was used to give it a particular colour rather than describing it in black and white terms.

Catherine Connolly: No, that is okay. I trust the secretariat.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 Dec 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I am. I just want to draw attention to it. I am happy to let the secretariat send the letter. I just want to make sure that something like this is not done again in the future.

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 Dec 2019)
Catherine Connolly: Members can note that Galway County Council has been one of the least funded. That is accepted. It was even set out in the report that recommended amalgamation that the councils should not proceed with amalgamating until their funding had been increased.

Catherine Connolly: I have just read it. It is an interesting letter and worth reading. I would draw it to members' attention.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 Dec 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I will speak to the privatisation of health services generally. Paediatric packages are being provided by a number of agencies, from whom the majority of children are receiving them. That is a separate issue, I suppose.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 Dec 2019)
Catherine Connolly: There is a note stating that the person in question was incorrectly directed as to where to make a complaint.
