Marc MacSharry: The witnesses said that is the case since yesterday. Up to yesterday, people were spending €999,000 willy-nilly without the OPW's approval. Is that so?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)

Marc MacSharry: I find it difficult to believe, not to understand. It is difficult to believe. Sadly, because of what Mr. Conlon said, because of our practice of covering everybody's ass or, to put it another way, give people the dignity and respect they want, provided they are on this side of the table, for the people on that side of the table, that is, the people ponying up the cash, it seems we have no...

Marc MacSharry: This is my last question. Who decided that? The rain is going to pelt in from the side. If it had been turned around, there might have been some shelter for the six or seven bikes that are in it today.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)
Marc MacSharry: Would they? I must say that no lessons have been learned in the OPW. None whatsoever. Yes, the office does great work. I was on Skellig Michael over the summer. By God, the witnesses would do well to go down and learn a little bit from the monks.

Section 7 places a statutory duty on health service providers to share personal health data with other health services providers for the purposes of patient care and treatment. In keeping with data protection principles, such sharing must be necessary, relevant and proportionate. Section 8 introduces...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)
Marc MacSharry: The facilities management team attends meetings of the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission. I am a former member of this committee, the Committee of Public Accounts and the commission. I know about some of the things that go on. I find it absolutely ridiculous in the extreme that somebody with the professionalism and experience of the Clerk of the Dáil would not even ask how much this...
