Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach (7 Feb 2019) David Cullinane: I will put my questions through the Chair, and in a different way. The Taoiseach can consult on any matter with whomever he wants. On this issue, he consulted with party leaders and so on, but the Department and the Taoiseach sign off on any decisions that are made. That is what happens. The Taoiseach may have the consent or the support, or not, of individual members of the Opposition but...

Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach (7 Feb 2019) David Cullinane: Okay. We are going around in circles on this particular issue. I do not accept what Mr. Fraser said. It is Government that sets the policy.

Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach (7 Feb 2019) David Cullinane: The Government brings it forward. We are dancing on the head of a pin which is unnecessary because I am not suggesting anybody is culpable or responsible. I am trying to get answers on behalf of the taxpayers who will have to foot this bill. The cost has increased from less than €5 million to €20 million. I am not saying that is the fault of the Department, the Taoiseach,...

Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach (7 Feb 2019) David Cullinane: There is an issue here. The Oireachtas committed initially to writing a cheque for less than €5 million. The cost has now increased to €20 million. I appreciate the point that is being made by the Accounting Officer, that there has been consultation with Oireachtas Members and Opposition leaders, but people will be concerned about the fact that costs have increased from...

Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach (7 Feb 2019) David Cullinane: To be clear, there was a meeting with the Opposition and there was agreement to an extension until March. That means it either has to be extended again or a decision has to be made to do something else. Is that Mr. Fraser's understanding?
