Alan Kelly: One second now, I am asking a question.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Nov 2017)
Alan Kelly: My question is about the creation of the unit, not about its work on the Charleton commission. Is Mr. Ó Cualáin absolutely happy about the manner in which this was created, not the functioning of it? I mean the manner in which this was created.

Alan Kelly: Again, I shall repeat my question for the benefit of the HR director, Mr. Barrett. I have a very simple question. Is he absolutely and 100% fully happy with the manner in which this liaison unit was created?
