Patrick O'Donovan: Whose fault is that?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee. (12 Nov 2015)

Patrick O'Donovan: I have two questions. First, when are the financial statements for 2014 due? On the non-competitive procurement threshold of €60,000, was it an arbitrary figure? Is it related to the figure of €2.6 million worth of services? How are the two related?

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Harbours Bill 2015: Committee Stage (11 Nov 2015)

Patrick O'Donovan: I did not interrupt the Deputy. I know the Deputy has a difficulty in showing some respect to people in here. He will not interrupt me in the manner in which he has just spoken to the Minister. He referred to his previous occupation as a Minister.
