- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Will we get to see it?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: The Comptroller and Auditor General should have been doing it, as I said the previous day. Will we have had time to go through the report before the witnesses come in?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I think the Minister has done enough photo-calls on the site. I certainly will not be anticipating one for the committee.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: The Chairman has said that officials from the Department of Justice and Equality will be here next week to discuss the broader Vote. Have we decided anything on the Irish Prison Service?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I saw that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: It is just that from the response-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: When they were in, they sent a kind of substantial response.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: The following week, I raised issues that arose with that response. I said I felt we needed a substantial hearing with them to cover a lot of issues, including the surveillance issue. The Chairman will recall one particular answer they gave. They confirmed that private companies were procured for surveillance, but they were not in a position to state whether they were surveilling staff. I...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I noted that the Secretary General did a lot of the answering the last day they were in.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I do not mind who comes in, but I suppose it might be useful for them to have Irish Prison Service personnel with them. I assume the Secretary General will not know everything and will need to consult with them. In the interest of efficient use of time, he might like to bring some of them with him.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I am not fussy on timing if the Chairman wants to kick that back to a free date later in early summer. I am okay with that. I would hate to be confined to a ten or 15 minute slot at a meeting to deal with it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: There is no doubt that that will get lost. I am sure that other members have many issues relating to the justice Vote generally, so if I am depending on my own ten minute slot for the prison matters-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: It would not be. I imagine that members would like to revisit some issues relating to the Prison Service. I am certainly not comfortable with the mess committees. I have been wrongly accused, externally, by the Prison Officers Association, of being interested in closing down the mess committees. That is not the issue at all, but the concern is that they are functioning correctly with...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Absolutely. While there is the justice Vote next week-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Mar 2019)
Marc MacSharry: It might be able to touch on prison matters but one of the free meetings on the agenda could be set aside to have the Prison Service management back, and if the Secretary General comes with them, so be it.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Broadband Service Provision: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Mar 2019) Marc MacSharry: I welcome all of our guests. I support Mr. Griffin’s idea of bringing the relevant officials from various sections in the Department who have the expertise to answer questions which may arise. It is an awful shame that his colleague in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform did not agree by bringing the chief procurement officer when we wanted to talk to him. Mr. Griffin...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Broadband Service Provision: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Mar 2019) Marc MacSharry: Not at all. When the individual to whom I refer goes to the Central Bank, I am sure Mr. Griffin will be the new Secretary General of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
