- Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed) (18 May 2017)
Marc MacSharry: -----because it is a multiple of what it is worth. When we consider that we are not long finished with Project Eagle, this would seem to indicate that between Rehab and this particular purchase, we are overpaying. That is something that needs to be noted. I imagine the board would be very happy with €23 million, and I would suspect that the Savills valuation, which is naturally...
- Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed) (18 May 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I will put it another way. If I bought a combine harvester, borrowed €250,000 from, say, a finance company and I defaulted on those loans, if I was selling, with the finance company's consent, and got €250,000, in Mr. Creed's professional opinion, what is the likelihood that it might accept €180,000?
- Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed) (18 May 2017)
Marc MacSharry: It is unlikely. In terms of natural fairness and justice, why should Bord na gCon get a write-down? Home owners throughout the country have been pinned to the wall for every ha'penny, and they have been pursued after the fact. Why should a special deal be done for Bord na gCon, a quasi arm of the State, which has received a premium on top of a premium for land? However, that is an aside....

- Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed) (18 May 2017)

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 May 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I agree with much of what has been said already and with the Chairman's sentiments on the national airwaves this morning. I was at most of last week's meeting, except for the end, but there were contradictions before that, particularly in terms of assessment of potential for criminality. The Garda Commissioner clearly stated there was no question of that but Mr. Barrett was less sure. I...

- Topical Issue Debate: Forest Fires (10 May 2017)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the Minister of State. Unfortunately I do not hear any good news in his response about funds being available. I ask the Government to look at a package of measures, particularly in Galway where there is a substantial amount of damage. I am talking specifically about an area in Sligo. The Minister of State himself mentioned that the Sligo Camino is on privately owned commonage. It...

As he knows, substantial tracts of land have been destroyed by fire in County Sligo recently. I am sure that Deputy Connolly will outline what is happening in County Galway. Given the weather in recent weeks, some 4,000 acres in Sligo have been destroyed around Killery Mountain. I appreciate that...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (10 May 2017)
Marc MacSharry: The programme for Government refers to access to breakthrough and expensive medicines.
