- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Report on Local Public Banking: Discussion (23 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: As I have to ask a question in the Dáil in about two minutes, I will ask some quick questions and check the Official Report for the answers. I commend everyone present for their efforts, but I am particularly interested in what Mr. Maye said. He mentioned regulatory capture, but there is also political capture. Are we captured by the Central Bank that tells us what we can and cannot...
- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I am grateful for the opportunity to make a few brief comments on the legislation. This is an issue that has polarised Ireland for many generations. It is very difficult for many of us and very personal to most of us. I am grateful to my party for laying out a pathway six years ago in terms of respecting the right of conscience and allowing Deputies to act according to their personal views...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: Will it be dealt with in the next correspondence?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I know that but we are not bound by anything they thought.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: On that basis, for me, this is a contradictory letter. It is not a policy, yet it is a policy in exceptional circumstances. He has offered that he would outline those exceptional circumstances and I, for one, would like to know what they are.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: The big issue is whether it is policy.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: It says that it is not the policy but there are exceptions. It is the usual attitude of when it suits us, we will do it, and when it does not, we will not. That is a bad precedent.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: If he wrote and said "Dear Miss Falsey, I have plenipotentiary status, good luck" it would not say much that is different from what is said.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: Ladies first. I think Deputy Connolly indicated first.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Oct 2018)
Marc MacSharry: In respect of the work programme, I agree 100% with Deputy Catherine Murphy on broadband. It would be timely for us to look at that matter. I would also be interested in hearing the Comptroller and Auditor General's view of the wisdom behind renewing the contract, selling it and then buying it back. I think that is an issue. I am also interested in whether we would have a role in respect...

Exchanges at the committee are often robust and adversarial, particularly when I am involved, but I wish to say that Mr. Watt and his team do a very good job. That is probably not stated often enough by me or the committee. On the accounts generally, Mr. Watt alluded to the fact that it looks good that the...
