Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Sep 2017)

Catherine Connolly: This is one piece of land among many pieces of land that were bought. I want to just comment on this matter. Well done to Deputy MacSharry for raising the matter and securing an answer. What is noteworthy when one reads it is that the councillors held off. The councillors had no role in this purchase of land. The purchase of land is down to officials but the approval of a loan is for...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Sep 2017)

Catherine Connolly: Getting a loan is the role of the councillors. They did not rush into getting a loan. In fact, it would seem, from memory, and I am going by what I have been told, that the approval was finally given. The land was purchased subject to the councillors approving it. Looking back on it, there was a whole process where the councillors, looking back retrospectively, seemed to do their best and...

Other Questions: Public Services Card (26 Sep 2017)

Catherine Connolly: I am not sure why the Minister has personalised this. According to the Comptroller and Auditor General when writing on the public accounts, the "Department commenced work [in 2016] on issues around data sharing, governance and the security of data which will be key elements of legislation currently being developed".

Other Questions: Public Services Card (26 Sep 2017)

Catherine Connolly: I am most unhappy with the Minister's answer. If he were to read the transcript of the relevant meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts and the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General, he would see that no business case was provided for the public services card and the costs of the project or its positives were never evaluated. The estimated cost of the public services card now...
