The next potential engagement is with the Housing Agency and the Approved Housing Bodies Regulatory Authority, to examine their respective financial statements and Chapter 7 from the Comptroller and Auditor General's 2021 report, which concerns the Housing Agency’s revolving acquisition fund.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Nov 2022)

Brian Stanley: When scheduling, we need to understand we are dealing with other people's diaries. At least the secretariat now has a draft which it can try to match up with witnesses' availability and everything else. We will do some work on that before next week so that when we come back, we will have a schedule of work set out for the new year. That concludes our consideration of the work programme...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Nov 2022)

Brian Stanley: Some of the bodies which appear before the committee reply in a very prompt manner; some do not. We do not want to forget about the ones that are overdue. It is easy for them to fade away. It is suggested that the secretariat keep a note of this and that overdue correspondence would be brought to our attention during public session. It is important that we get the answers we are looking for.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Nov 2022)

Brian Stanley: Sometimes, witnesses do not have all the information we require when they are before the committee. There were a few outstanding items during this morning's session. That is typical of any public hearing of the committee. It is important that we get a follow up afterwards. Do members wish to raise any other matters? We will briefly go into private session before adjourning until 9.30...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (17 Nov 2022)

Brian Stanley: I raise the issue of primary care centres. As the Tánaiste knows, people are presenting at hospital emergency departments because they cannot get access to a GP or primary care services. The population of towns like Portlaoise has increased, and there is no primary care centre in the town despite the population is heading towards 30,000. There is also a shortage of GPs. The...
