- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (6 Oct 2016)
Marc MacSharry: Perhaps it is section 14.

Marc MacSharry: Obviously, if it is within the bounds of the Comptroller and Auditor General's capabilities to refuse that, he can refuse it.
