Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: What is the issue? Why does the State not give the level of oversight that the Committee of Public Accounts is looking for on the one hand and these two parties on the other, whosoever they are? What is the issue? Who in the Department of Finance is advising that someone would get on to the State Claims Agency or the Chief State Solicitor's office and say we are not doing that? Why are we...

Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: Yes, but that is the standard cop-out. If there was a genuine case, I could see why that would happen. How much have we spent on defending the cases so far?

Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: We have three things to get back: if KPMG advised and what were the terms of reference dates. We want to know, before KPMG was appointed as liquidator, what contact, if any, there was with KPMG on the terms of reference or any other such matter. Second, how much have we spent on these cases that are totally unnecessary down in the courts?

Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: Yes, but why did the Department mount a defence? Why did the Department not follow this committee's advice before there was ever a case and set up a committee of inspection?

Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: The Department got the Chief State Solicitor's office to write to the applicants to ask them to pull back if it got the Committee of Public Accounts to do this, that and the other. Do the witnesses not remember that? Did the Chief State Solicitor's office act unilaterally on that matter?

Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: We are unnecessarily wasting the people's money. The big money is the €306 million. With the appropriate oversight, perhaps a committee of inspection would come out with a detailed report saying KPMG did the best possible job that could be done. I always qualify my remarks about this matter by saying that, but perhaps it would not. In any event, the people are entitled to it. As...

Why was that advice given to the Minister of the day? Why do we not have one now? This committee recommended it two years ago. There are two court cases looking for the same thing. Mr. Moran is correct; here we are again. Every time Mr. Moran is in here between now and 2022, if it is over in 2022...

When his colleague was before us, I think his words were that he had a great story to tell, but he just could not tell the committee. The Department could put it into its response before the courts but it will not tell us. We are only interested in the people's money here. We are only interested in providing value for money.
