- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Irish Prison Service (11 Jun 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for accepting this important issue for discussion. I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Stanton, for being here. With no disrespect to him, I am disappointed the senior Minister could not be available given the issues at stake. Through my work in the Committee of Public Accounts since last January questioning and researching for the questioning of the Irish...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 May 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I agree with Deputy Kelly. It is a response to our query but it is not an answer. As Deputy Kelly has said, it does not remotely give the sort of detail required for us to say that we have no concerns regarding governance. Unfortunately, it does not provide any of the specifics that would give us that sort of peace of mind. I agree 100% with Deputy Kelly's proposal. I look forward to his...

Marc MacSharry: No, and I do not want to be giving us even more work, but I believe we need to make this same request regarding campus companies of all third level institutions.

Marc MacSharry: I am aware that the Department of Finance will come before the committee later on general finance topics and there will be the opportunity to raise some of the issues relating to what I am about to say. I know it was late in the day, but yesterday I was provided with correspondence from the Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation's chief executive, David Hall. It included a copy of a report Mr....

Marc MacSharry: Yes, I have read it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 May 2019)
Marc MacSharry: It is. It goes back to when the committee took a position on the establishment of a committee of inspection for the liquidation. To date that has been, effectively, ignored by the Department of Finance. I accept that people may not have had time to read it yet, and while it was commissioned by a third party, Professor Gurdgiev's report very much supports that proposal. The report...

Marc MacSharry: I will but I propose that we bring in these witnesses.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 May 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I refer to one sentence in the report that encapsulates this matter. Professor Gurdgiev referred to the consequence of no committee of inspection, which the Chairman, as an accountant, will be very familiar with, along with the Comptroller and Auditor General and others. Professor Gurdgiev stated: "As a consequence of the failure to properly account, analyse, assess, challenge and-or...
