- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: We will catch that train in a second. Ms McCaffrey said that each mess has an account and that there are small amounts of money in these accounts because they are run on a not-for-profit basis. I am using estimates and that is the reason we need figures, audits and so on. I suggested spending in the messes might be €10 per person per day. That came from my own research in asking...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: That is fine. That figure tallies pretty well with what my estimated cost per member of staff of €5 per day. We know the mess committees are not paying the staff. Do the prisoners who help in the messes receive an allowance for their work?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: I am guessing the mess committee does not pay them and the payment comes out of the funds of the Prison Service.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: I understand. I am referring to the money that comes in from the mess account, that is, the potential €3.6 million that I outlined.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: They are suggested figures but in the absence of Ms McCaffrey putting forward alternative figures, there is a problem.

- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: Yes, that was my whole reason actually. I am sure this will be on the "Six One" news.

Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: I am not some random person coming in off that street to say three vehicles are missing and referring to mess committees.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: The Committee of Public Accounts, the only constitutional committee in the State, has a statutory function. The committee to which Mr. O'Driscoll is directly responsible on a more regular basis does not have the same standing as this committee. I am putting this information to Mr. O'Driscoll. I did not make it up. Believe me, there are no votes in this for me. I am here at 5.30 p.m. on a...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons (17 Jan 2019) Marc MacSharry: I realise this is uncomfortable. I also realise the witnesses did not see it coming and nobody here was in post when mess committees were set up. I have been through the Templemore inquiry and this matter puts Templemore into the ha'penny place. I am not suggesting anybody set up a golf course, bought a field or anything like that with the proceeds but, based on the figures I have used, if...
