- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: That is right. We recognise there is an issue here. The Chairman made a good point that in circumstances where State moneys are provided to an organisation that also receives charitable donations and perhaps private income, the committee has found it almost impossible to disaggregate the figures and demonstrate that public moneys were used for a certain purpose alone. Financial officers...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: I would like to record my thanks for a response. I want to bring it to the attention of the people who are concerned about the matter and then revert to the committee.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: That is welcome because obviously it has been a source of considerable controversy. If we are to deal with the Comptroller and Auditor General's report on the Northern loan book, when will we have sight of the report? I understand it has been completed and has been sent for comment or feedback.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: When will Mr. McCarthy publish the report or when will it come into the public domain? In other words, when will we get our hands on it?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: In this the timing is everything. I agree with the Chairman that we must deal with this matter, but we can only do so having had prior sight of the report. I hope the Minister, when he receives the report, will publish it without delay. One cannot have a farcical situation where the investigating committee is left without a report. We cannot have representatives of NAMA before the...

Mary Lou McDonald: Yes, I do not doubt it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: May we take it that our prior discussion on section 38 and section 39 organisations and the mechanism for oversight are included in the mix also?
- Written Answers — Department of Health: Hospital Staff Recruitment (20 Jul 2016)

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (19 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: The Taoiseach did not answer the question.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (19 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: The Taoiseach ran the clock down and did not answer.
- Order of Business (19 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: Did I hear the Taoiseach correctly when he said he has agreed terms of reference for the task force for the north inner city? He led us to believe at every stage that there would be a form of consultation with the local community in respect of those terms of reference. He has clearly reneged on that. Can he tell us what he will be doing in the north inner city tomorrow, where he will be...

Mary Lou McDonald: If the Ceann Comhairle does not mind me observing, others raised two

Mary Lou McDonald: They raised two.

Mary Lou McDonald: My hearing is good.
- Order of Business (19 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: I will raise it nonetheless. I have previously raised the case of Mary Boyle, a young child who disappeared in County Donegal some 40 years ago, with the Taoiseach. Public disquiet about this matter is growing. There is a suggestion of political interference in the investigation of that child's disappearance. The Taoiseach knows that her twin sister, Ann Doherty, and people around her are...
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Financial Statement 2015 (15 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: I welcome Mr. O'Brien and all the other witnesses. This feels like Groundhog Day. Many of the issues we are examining today are issues the committee grappled with in the last Dáil. I put it to Mr. O'Brien and to the officials from the Department of Health that the relationship between Console and its funders, the HSE and the Department of Health, has been dysfunctional from the...
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Financial Statement 2015 (15 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: I thank Mr. O'Brien. Can the Department of Health officials confirm that the first tranche of funding was in 2005 or was funding given prior to that?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Financial Statement 2015 (15 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: What about the HSE?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Financial Statement 2015 (15 Jul 2016)
Mary Lou McDonald: We need to see the full picture because what we see here is not just something that happened by accident. My reading of the situation is that this was a very calculated and considered rebuff of any kind of standards on the part of Console. I believe the HSE and the Department of Health have been caught with their pants down and were asleep at the wheel. We have heard a lot about oversight,...
