- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (9 Nov 2017) Marc MacSharry: That is grand. Once the Department writes the cheque to the various agencies it funds, including Inland Fisheries Ireland and RTÉ, does it let them go off to their own devices or is there substantial oversight?

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (9 Nov 2017) Marc MacSharry: I am sorry to stop Mr. Griffin and I know that it is annoying from his perspective, but I only have ten minutes and a good bit to get through. The CEO, for example, seemed to be pursuing a line of selling fisheries, but the Minister of State, Deputy Seán Kyne, has said we are not selling any more. Is the current CEO compliant with that direction from the Minister of State?

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (9 Nov 2017) Marc MacSharry: They eat the fish before we catch them. It eats into the potential for angling tourism, for example.
