- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: It is a very complex area. I think we should give the secretariat four or five or even more weeks to conclude the report and then for us to do amendments. I am just worried that we are coming very close to the end of the year if we add that period in.

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: We had correspondence with the City of Dublin Education and Training Board and the Office of Public Works, OPW, on Whitehall College. There is a sizeable piece of work there for us. We suggested that we would defer it until the autumn period. I wonder if we could give it some consideration. It does not neatly fall into a category. The education and training board is separate from the...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: No, Chair. In my view the ETB would welcome us examining the issue as well. There is an ongoing legal issue with the contractor that may stymie it. If we cannot deal with it in the autumn term, I would like it dealt with early in the spring term.

They have provided additional information, and I thank them for that. I also want to note that in Mr. Tubridy's opening statement, he says he has great respect...

In turn, €75,000 was paid to Tuttle Productions, albeit for additional duties on Mr. Tubridy's behalf. Who knew what and when is really important, because that is essentially what happened. Some €75,000 of a credit note was given to...
