Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Nov 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: We should note the correspondence. I share Deputy Cullinane's concerns, not alone that this might prove to be a pretext to limit the questions we ask but, more to the point, it might be the single transferable answer to questions that are provided by the witness today. While noting the fact of the investigation and this correspondence, it would not be acceptable for a witness to come before...

Mary Lou McDonald: I welcome the witnesses. I congratulate Ms Cynthia Deane for successfully completing her paperwork on time. I do not know if she is in the habit of peer-to-peer learning but perhaps she has some nuggets of wisdom that she might share with her colleagues. I commend her for that and for her presentation today. What did Ms Deane do prior to holding this post? Was she in Carlow or Kilkenny...

Public Accounts Committee: City of Dublin Education and Training Board and Kilkenny and Carlow Education and Training Board: Financial Statements (16 Nov 2017)

Mary Lou McDonald: I thank Mr. Loftus for his reply which, while interesting, does not answer my question. I want to know how the four people were identified as not for appointment to the new positions.

Public Accounts Committee: City of Dublin Education and Training Board and Kilkenny and Carlow Education and Training Board: Financial Statements (16 Nov 2017)

Criteria such as seniority and preference - I am not really sure what that means - were applied in regard to the filling of the 16 posts and the remaining four people were deployed to other senior posts, presumably of similar or equal rank, in the public service. Is there a document in which the criteria to be applied in terms of reducing the...
