- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Jun 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I had to laugh when I read the first page; I do not know whether anyone else did. We took issue with the fact that people who could be the subject of a disclosure may have a hand in putting together the terms of reference for the investigation. The Secretary General has written back to state everything was okay because the Higher Education Authority, HEA, has advised that the terms of...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Jun 2018)
Marc MacSharry: With respect to the Secretary General, if this is the disclosure process that exists in all Departments and State agencies then it is quite likely that they are all contaminated. I mean that they are not above reproach. I refer to people who are, as a matter of form, involved in setting the terms of reference to investigate and in some instances to investigate themselves. I find it...

It suggests who would be included on that, namely, representatives of the Comptroller and Auditor General, a representative of...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Jun 2018)
Marc MacSharry: The terms of reference have been suggested by the plaintiff to me, which I assume are those he sent back to the Office of the Chief State Solicitor or the Department of Finance. We can rest assured that no case will be withdrawn until the committee of inspection is established.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Jun 2018)
Marc MacSharry: It does not surprise me that the Comptroller and Auditor General has not heard about it because it is relatively hot off the press and it is probably in the legal domain at present. Irrespective of the plaintiff's case, I raised the matter in the Dáil yesterday and asked the Taoiseach about it but he could not answer the question. He told me that he would come back to me in writing on...
