Marc MacSharry: Yes, I will be very brief. I see during Covid we managed to spend €1.02 million on entertainment. I cannot wait to see the breakdown. Could the witnesses send us that?

Public Accounts Committee: Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (resumed) (3 Jun 2021)

Public Accounts Committee: Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (resumed) (3 Jun 2021)

Marc MacSharry: That was a yes or no answer. Can a note on this be sent to us? My concern - and it can be addressed in the note – is that there is no consistency to this.
