- 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: One would look perhaps at a purchase figure of ten years of rental income, which would be reasonable, putting it in the region of €2 million.
- 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: It is all very cumbersome. Mr. Griffin will write to somebody in the OPW which will write to the Valuation Office and it will be put out to tender. Knight Frank might value it at €2 million and we will have spent €10,000 to get that valuation. Where is the joined-up thinking and when will we use a little common sense to pull things together? There are two valuable capital...

If this is replicated throughout the Department, the Comptroller and Auditor General will have no chance to outline an accurate financial position for the State and agencies. I will move on.
- 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: Absolutely. If I was to go to the Revenue Commissioners and say I owned three properties worth approximately €4 million but did not have a valuation and could not give an accurate picture as a result, what would they say? It is one rule for the State and another for the private sector. It is unacceptable, haphazard, shabby and certainly does not reflect the accountancy procedures...
