Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Nov 2019)

Shane Cassells: Many contributions have been made and there are many views on what has happened here. We should come to an understanding of where we want to take this because it is a much broader issue. Deputy Connolly made a point about the processes, on which we need to agree. Pictures of Mr. Peter Finnegan have been splashed across all the newspapers in the last few days, as he is the Accounting...
