- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019 (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: We have the heads of a Bill but we are a long way from the Bill.
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019 (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: Was the HEA in any way involved in the appointment of the previous president of UL? Was it consulted on it? Was it aware of the recruitment process? Very specifically, was it aware that the selection process for short-listing was not followed?
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019 (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: It seems the successful candidate’s CV was never provided to the governing authority’s short-listing selection committee. I would also like the HEA, to the extent that its powers allow, as limited as they are, to examine the integrity of the current process to recruit a permanent president.
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019 (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: I am just finishing and I will not come back in. There is an interim president at the moment. It is a matter of concern to me that the corporate secretary to the board reports to the chief corporate officer, who was in with us, a Mr. Flaherty, and Mr. Flaherty did not go through a recruitment process and was appointed by the interim president. I think the integrity of the recruitment...
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019 (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: Why is Dr. Wall not on the precincts, by the way?
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019 (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: When Dr. Wall got his invitation, was he not told he would only have qualified privilege by not being here?
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019 (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: It would not have occurred to me either, but they do not let us go to the loo here without writing to us.
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019 (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: It would surprise me if they did not write to Dr. Wall to tell him. Did they not advise him of that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019 (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: Perhaps it is my conspiratorial mind but was it tactical?
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019 (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: Please do not.
- Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019 (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: If it is the choice of the witness, that further undermines our position. We know about Standing Orders and we know about the two-hour limits. I am not accusing Dr. Wall and I simply pose the question. There is now the ability to tactically decide that if one does not turn up to the precincts, one can hide behind the fact one does not have privilege, which is not acceptable to us.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: Is it 12 noon or 1 p.m. I am a bit confused?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: Not that it would be tactical but must I be in the precincts?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: I am but I might make my way in the direction of the mountain behind me while I am having that meeting later.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (1 Jul 2021)
Marc MacSharry: Okay.

Marc MacSharry: 214. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she will consider introducing a second live performance support scheme in 2021 given that some businesses were not aware that they were eligible to apply for the scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35454/21]
- Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2021)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the Minister and I am glad to have a few brief moments to make a few points. I welcome the Bill to give an additional two years, but I believe it should have been three years. Deputy Calleary made good points on this subject earlier and I support them. I also support the year for the development plans. I have grave concerns, however, about us meeting our housing targets and I have...
- Written Answers — Department of Finance: Financial Services (24 Jun 2021)
Marc MacSharry: 195. To ask the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 219 of 8 June 2018, if the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman can now consider older cases under the Financial Services and Ombudsman Act 2017 from persons that were of the view that they were mis-sold payment protection insurance in cases in which the conduct being complained of occurred during or after 2002;...
- Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Jun 2021)
Marc MacSharry: I thank our guests. Time is short with the way in which the Covid world has structured meetings of the Committee of Public Accounts these days, so I may cut in on them in their answers at times. This may seem rude and I apologise for that, but it may be necessary. Is it the university's current position that the former president lied to the Committee of Public Accounts?
- Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Jun 2021)
Marc MacSharry: What is Professor Mey's position, as interim president? I have a copy of the chancellor's letter to hand, but I want to know, for the record and for the benefit of the public, whether it is the university's position that the previous president lied to the Committee of Public Accounts.
