- Public Accounts Committee: Eir (14 Feb 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Eir was perfectly entitled to withdraw and Ms Lennon has laid out very clearly the reasons for its withdrawal. We are delighted to have Eir before us. It is able to give us a perspective that is very important to our work. I know that others are under pressure to get in.
