David Cullinane: We need to speak to the Department, albeit not on the same day, as we cannot pitch one against the other. That would not be fair. We should ask the Department to appear before us, though.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2019)

- Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon Financial Statement 2017 (19 Sep 2019)
David Cullinane: And his team. We have had a number of attendances by the organisation over the course of the last two years. Most of the attendances have been shambolic but today's meeting is a refreshing change. Mr. Dollard has brought a level of competency that I did not see in previous attendances, which is a good start. However, the organisation, some of which is funded by taxpayers, faces fundamental...

Some of that manifested itself in very strange ways here, where we had previous members of the...
