Brian Stanley: It is the record itself.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 May 2022)

Brian Stanley: The records are considerable. It is how accessible they are, the security of where they are, the building they are in and the maintenance of the documents, particularly if they are fragile. For example, if mice got into a building where there were paper records, enormous damage could be done over a period of time without anyone realising it.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 May 2022)

Brian Stanley: Horse Racing Ireland was one that some members mentioned that we would have in. For that engagement, could we mention, in particular, one item in relation to funding for Horse Sport Ireland, which comes from Horse Racing Ireland? It may come straight from the Department. I do not know what the relationship is between those two bodies. I am not clear on that. Maybe we will have a look at...

Just Transition: Statements (18 May 2022)

Brian Stanley: Global warming is accelerating, of that there is no doubt. Peat harvesting in the midlands was to be phased out over a ten-year period. It was phased out in ten months.

However, Bord na Móna is currently...
