- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Catherine Connolly: I am not going to discuss staff issues but I understand that process was not clearcut either. I will leave that for a separate forum.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Catherine Connolly: I think we should finish with the Departments before us and then deal with whatever issues we decide. I do not think we should do business this way.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Catherine Connolly: I think we should deal with asking questions and then proposals should be discussed with the committee afterwards, either in public or private. Public is my preference.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)
Catherine Connolly: On a point of order, I do not think this is an appropriate way to do business. Deputy MacSharry has no idea what Deputy Connolly wants. I am simply talking about the procedure. When the questioning is finished and the delegations have left, we can then make any decisions we like but not in this manner.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 May 2018)
Catherine Connolly: Perhaps an explanation could be given rather than just an apology. We were actually working on committee business.

Catherine Connolly: May I come back to it?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 May 2018)
Catherine Connolly: I agree. I just wanted to thank the Chairman for raising this because it is a serious issue. The other issues, concerning the remits of committees, are different. I fully support the view that we cannot be doubling up on things. This is an issue, however, where there is a clear conflict of interest. The words about which there was a complaint were said at a meeting of this committee....
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 May 2018)
Catherine Connolly: I think the Deputy was asking for a motion to be passed in the middle of questioning witnesses.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 May 2018)

Catherine Connolly: 174. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the financial details and contributions of all service level agreements between the Marine Institute and SEAI since 2012 to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22981/18]

- Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (23 May 2018)
Catherine Connolly: I pay tribute to the Committee on Justice and Equality, particularly Deputies Mick Wallace, Clare Daly and Jim O'Callaghan and the other Deputies who have worked very hard in analysing this Bill. I have not spoken on this Bill in recent times, although I spoke initially. What struck me when I looked at it in the first instance was that we were going down a very populist road based on...

2017 Financial Statements of the Abbey Theatre (23 May 2018) Catherine Connolly: I, too, welcome the candour. I welcome the opening statements. There is no need to repeat any of it. I note that the Abbey is the only one of the four before us that did not acknowledge our letter. It is a little worrying that even a basic letter from the Committee of Public Accounts was not acknowledged. I do not know whether the Abbey stands out. I cannot see from the other three...

2017 Financial Statements of the Abbey Theatre (23 May 2018) Catherine Connolly: That would be of concern because we end up using our energy to follow up on the timeliness as opposed to, and more important, the content of accounts. There is a particular onus on all of the organisations to show example. A question perhaps I should not put - it is just that the ESRI raised it in its opening statement - relates to it being in the private sector. I presume all of the...
