- Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (8 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I wish to share time with Deputies Murphy O'Mahony and Niamh Smyth. If the Acting Chairman could tell me when I am at three and a third minutes, it would be great. I support the Bill being put forward. I have to express sincere regret at the tone and content of the Minister of State's contribution. I know that it is not personal and that a departmental official would have assisted in...
- Private Rental Sector Standards: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I welcome the opportunity to address this important issue in Sinn Féin's Private Members' time. I support the amendment and, as Deputy Cowen stated, the Fianna Fáil Party will not oppose the motion because we all want the same thing. We heard about the RTÉ programme and, as Deputy Cowen also stated, we want NCT-style inspections of private rented accommodation. The...
- Written Answers — Department of Finance: Tax Compliance (7 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: 243. To ask the Minister for Finance the tax implications for Irish citizens living here that held property abroad (details supplied); if an amnesty is still available to such persons to retrospectively comply with their obligations without penalties and interest; if so, the details of such amnesty; if not, his plans to re-establish such an amnesty to permit the substantial number of persons...

Marc MacSharry: 322. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to the retrospective nature of statutory instrument No. 394 of 2017 (details supplied) and the negative impact that this will have on the network and quality of management and service delivery into the future; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45913/17]
- Written Answers — Department of Health: Court Orders (7 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: 638. To ask the Minister for Health the reason, further to an order to require discovery in November 2016 by the High Court, his Department has not complied with this order as of 9 October 2017; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that persons are suffering as a result of alleged mistreatment by way of the administration of the pandemrix vaccine without full information being made...
- Written Answers — Department of Health: Health Services Provision (7 Nov 2017)
Marc MacSharry: 639. To ask the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 230 of 12 October 2016 and 372 of 17 October 2017, if his attention has been drawn to the fact that persons suffering from narcolepsy alleged to be caused by the pandemrix vaccine are not assured of access to rapid diagnosis treatment, multidisciplinary assessments led by clinical experts and have access only to a...
- National Planning Framework: Statements (Resumed) (26 Oct 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I am grateful for this opportunity. I was starting to worry that we would not have it. While I am not sure if it was by design, when the draft was published a few weeks ago, there was not a word about it. There was no national call that I could see to analyse the draft that was published and make sure people made submissions by 3 November. I am pleased the Government has given us this...
- Public Accounts Committee: Deloitte Report on Cost of Care in Grace Case (26 Oct 2017)
Marc MacSharry: Deputy Connolly will have another opportunity to discuss the issue when we resume in public session.
- Public Accounts Committee: Report of Comptroller and Auditor General 2016
Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: I will let the Deputy ask her last question.
- Public Accounts Committee: Report of Comptroller and Auditor General 2016
Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: We have established from the opening statement that the HSE wants to be able to depend on audited accounts as its guide. We have also established in the conversation so far that this is insufficient. How many audits of these organisations did Mr. Flynn carry out?
- Public Accounts Committee: Report of Comptroller and Auditor General 2016
Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: I will briefly raise the case of Console. Did the "Prime Time" programme expose the problems with Console or had they already been identified by the Health Service Executive? Did the "Prime Time" programme team become aware of work the HSE was doing or did the programme expose the problem, thus enabling the HSE to intervene and do good work on the case?
- Public Accounts Committee: Report of Comptroller and Auditor General 2016
Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: Was the organisation targeted on the back of the "Prime Time" programme, in other words, did this occur after the programme was broadcast? Which came first, the audit or the "Prime Time" programme?
- Public Accounts Committee: Report of Comptroller and Auditor General 2016
Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: The HSE had copped the problem, so to speak, and "Prime Time" picked up on what the HSE was doing.
- Public Accounts Committee: Report of Comptroller and Auditor General 2016
Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: My point is that the HSE identified the issue and was working on it through its systems and the RTE investigation was separate.
- Public Accounts Committee: Report of Comptroller and Auditor General 2016
Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: That is fine. I ask the Chairman to indicate when I have three minutes remaining as I wish to address a couple of issues. We cannot throw all of these organisations under a bus because we need the services that some of them provide. At the same time, we are in a pitiful position in terms of providing the level of oversight that would give members of the public the peace of mind they are...
- Public Accounts Committee: Report of Comptroller and Auditor General 2016
Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: Certainly.
- Public Accounts Committee: Report of Comptroller and Auditor General 2016
Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: That may well be the case. It is clear that the system is totally inadequate. Even if everything is being done correctly by all these organisations, and it is reasonable to believe that is not the case given the percentages we have seen, what we have is not fit for purpose. What level of duplication is there in the 2,500 organisations? Has any analysis been done to show, for example,...

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: In terms of procurement, a procurement directorate was established in the HSE in 2010. At one point, approximately 120 legal cases were taken on procurement matters in a two-year period. What are the figures for the 2015-16 period?

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: Yes.

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: It could be that, yes. I am reading from notes related to procurement.
