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: That is unacceptable.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Nov 2017)
Alan Kelly: I do not want the Commissioner to answer anything. I am asking Mr. Barrett. Is he, on the record, fully happy with the manner in which this was created? My question has nothing to do with the Charleton commission at all just the way in which, using public moneys, the unit was created. That is it.

Alan Kelly: My question is not really for the Secretary General.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Nov 2017)
Alan Kelly: My question is not really for the Commissioner either. I asked Mr. Barrett the following. Given the fact that we now know that public moneys was spent on this, as the director of HR, is he 100% happy with the manner in which this unit was created?

Alan Kelly: I will repeat my question.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Nov 2017)
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? I have tabled in excess of 20 parliamentary questions on this matter on three if not four different occasions and I have got all of the answers that I have received here. Was he happy...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Nov 2017)
Alan Kelly: -----asking questions, as Vice Chair of this committee, in relation to public moneys that are being used, that this question is answered. I am referring to just the creation of the unit. My questions have nothing to do with operational issues or the Charleton tribunal, which I will not be straying into at all.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Nov 2017)
Alan Kelly: The creation of the unit has led to the spending of taxpayers' money. Taxpayers are paying for the unit, Chair.
