Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Jul 2019)

Alan Kelly: I find this correspondence very confusing. Mr. Ó Foghlú is qualifying what he said previously. This goes back to the last Committee of Public Accounts. I would like to hold this correspondence until September and deal with it then. There are a number of issues around analysing what he said at the committee versus what is said in this letter.

Alan Kelly: It was not the HSE but the Department. I asked a range of questions and the Secretary General made commitments that he would come back to us quickly with answers. It has not happened. A week or two weeks is fine but I want answers before we go into recess. Can the Chairman write to him or ring him? These are basic questions.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Jul 2019)

Alan Kelly: Three weeks ago. I could be wrong and it could be two weeks. They are pretty basic questions that he said he would come back to us about straight away but he has not done so. For me, as somebody who is trying to create a jigsaw with many little pieces on a number of issues, the fact that he has not replied is worrying. I would like direct answers to my questions, please.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Jul 2019)

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Jul 2019)

Alan Kelly: I know that it is very topical. Deputy Catherine Murphy has raised it before and asked for Bord na gCon to be brought in.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Jul 2019)

Alan Kelly: Yes.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Jul 2019)

Alan Kelly: I support the Chair in this regard. Obviously, there is a threshold in relation to the volume of spend here. While we cannot go outside our remit, there is an issue here in relation to how that spend is dealt with. Very few people here in the committee know that there was a review done of An Bord Pleanála which has been published, but as far as I remember has never really been looked...
