Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: It was the previous Friday. Why does somebody not discontinue the case or go to somebody to mediate and say, "Let us do a deal here"? These people are not looking for compensation or money, to the best of my knowledge. I have read the statement of claim for one of them. I was not aware of the others. Nobody I am aware of is looking to make money here. They are looking for the same thing...

Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: I agree, but this is not new. None of us, the Chairman included, is bound to support or repeat the mistakes of the past, but it is reasonable that we would learn from them. I cannot imagine the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, saying to the Secretary General that he notes he has a proposal here for a committee of inspection, that he is sorry he is not agreeing to it and that the legislation was...

Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: It is not. I appreciate it might be a Government decision, but can Mr. Moran go back to the Department and sort these two cases?

Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019) Marc MacSharry: Okay. I hope the two applicants are watching today and saying, "Let us sort these cases and give us the scrutiny that we want". Unfortunately, the glorified kind of PowerPoint presentation that comes out as the periodic report is not the kind of oversight that I am talking about. I do not think I have anything else to raise. I thank Mr. Moran.

Marc MacSharry: I have no difficulty with what the Chairman said at the last meeting because I joined him, as many did at that meeting, in agreeing with it. At the end of the day, we cannot have the contestants judging the beauty pageant. There is effective admission here that the same few personnel were involved. However, what worries me even more is that the Secretary General does not see a conflict of...

Marc MacSharry: I thank the Chairman. I welcome the witnesses. I will articulate my usual opening clause. Sometimes I can be abrupt because I only have ten minutes. It is nothing personal. I refer to earlier questioning of Mr. Barry. Is it correct that he is a non-executive director of PM Group?
