Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019 (1 Jul 2021)

Matt Carthy: During my previous contribution, Mr. Beausang touched on the role of the executive director at the technological university for the south east. Will he take this opportunity to outline the precise role of the Department in that appointment? Will he comment on the need for the role?

Public Accounts Committee: Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019 (1 Jul 2021)

Matt Carthy: On the timeframe, essentially there was a process being undertaken by the Department and that process did not resolve the issue or identify a successful applicant so another applicant was chosen without a process by the institutions.

Those bombings were carried out by the Glenanne gang which included members of the Ulster Volunteer Force, UVF, MI5, the RUC and the Ulster Defence...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (30 Jun 2021)

Matt Carthy: I also wish to raise the EU digital Covid certificate. In particular, I ask the Taoiseach to provide some much-needed clarity with regard to Irish citizens who were vaccinated in the North and to provide an assurance, if he can, that those people will be able to avail of the EU digital Covid certificate. Before this morning, I understood that there was clarity on this matter. I made...
