Marc MacSharry: Dublin inflation was a 12% last year.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Is it reasonable to say that the price that is being bandied around at the moment is likely to be €50 million to €100 million more, based on the PwC's genius?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I will leave that issue for now. When he was in here, Mr. Watt informed us that he meets Mr. Quinn at 11 o'clock every Monday morning. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Mr. Watt seemed to indicate that Mr. Quinn never mentioned to him in all those meetings that there problems with the hospital.

Marc MacSharry: When did Mr. Quinn meet the Minister, Deputy Donohoe?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Marc MacSharry: No, that is okay. Mr. Quinn obviously has a very close working relationship with the Secretary General, if he meets him every Monday.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I realise Mr. Quinn has fiduciary duties as a board member. Clearly, there is a flaw in the legislation, if on the one hand one is privy to this and on the other hand one cannot share it with the people who matter, which is the Government.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I know Mr. Quinn may disagree, but as a legislator I think it is bad practice. Mr. Quinn was the head of procurement for the State on one hand and on a board on the other hand. It defies all logic and credibility that he had to keep an omnishambles which was going off the rails secret from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, while at the same time doing an excellent job of...

Marc MacSharry: Mr. Quinn was not even consulted on the steering group, as I said earlier. There was time pressure, so a decision was taken to streamline the process of dishing out €2 billion of the people's money in order to avoid a fine of €12 million. That is effectively what we are saying. Mr. Quinn is the head of procurement. He has extraordinary expertise and he is saying the system...

Marc MacSharry: It was not though, because we did not know for months. The machinery is defective. The standard operating procedure is defective. We have somebody with Mr. Quinn's expertise on hand and we are not seeing appropriate action. Yes, issues were reported to X and Y. If they did not act on it, that was not the board's problem. Fine. Legally, perhaps it was not. I am just saying that if that...
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Absolutely.

To ask the Minister for Health if he will increase funding to the HSE social care division CHO 1 to allow for a home support service to be put in place for elderly persons who have already been approved for the service and have been advised that they are on a waiting list until resources become available; his views on whether such a situation is unacceptable; and if he will make a...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 May 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Is the Taoiseach aware of a crisis in the provision of home care packages throughout the various community healthcare organisations, CHOs? It seems that industrial relations commitments, including the provision of expenses for travel, have hoovered up most of the additional funding allocated by the HSE to CHOs. Many CHO areas are now in a position whereby they must cease issuing home care...

Marc MacSharry: The Government did not have dinner with the other bidders.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Apr 2019)
Marc MacSharry: It is the standard approach. We set out to do reviews to arrive at a prescribed outcome. That is why PwC, with the best of respect to its standing in the world as a great accountancy firm, had no place doing this review. Of their own accord, they have decided to stick in at the end a conclusion that says, "By the way, we were right all along". That underpins the waste of €400,000...
