Marc MacSharry: We have mandates.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (Resumed) (30 Sep 2020)
Marc MacSharry: It comes down to the invitation thing again. There are other issues with the RSA, independent of Deputy Verona Murphy's. I mentioned one last week. When we get to the work programme, we will call them in. Let the Department's witnesses bring representatives from the RSA with them if they want. We are entitled to call the RSA in its own right, as far as I am aware. The Department will do...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (Resumed) (30 Sep 2020)
Marc MacSharry: While I know that we will deal with it next week, I refer to an issue that features on the front page of the Irish Examinertoday. It would be remiss of the committee not to acknowledge the gravity of the situation with regard to utterances made in the Committee of Public Accounts being ruled by a Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, adjudicator to have been the reason for an agency nurse,...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (Resumed) (30 Sep 2020)
Marc MacSharry: I have circulated the judgment handed down in the case. I request that the committee considers the two articles that have appeared in the media today and they should perhaps also be circulated to members.

- Public Accounts Committee: Election of Vice Chairman (24 Sep 2020)
Marc MacSharry: I nominate Deputy Catherine Murphy to be the Vice Chairman of the committee.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Sep 2020)
Marc MacSharry: I agree with that but I do not have my notes to hand. Late during the final session we brought forward legislation which most people would have supported, involving the introduction of measures so that people, instead of having to go prison for non-payment of a fine where somebody could not afford to pay it, community service and other measures could be considered. As I recall everybody was...

Marc MacSharry: Some 11 million-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Sep 2020)
Marc MacSharry: In order to collect these fines, because of an anomaly in the legislation, if I, Marc Mac Sharry for example, was done for a fine and did not pay it, the court would have to bring me back to have additional hearings in order for me to then say that I cannot afford to pay it. I could then be given community service, which is going to clog up the whole Courts Service. The service then is...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Sep 2020)
Marc MacSharry: I agree with everything that has been said. I would like to ask the Comptroller and Auditor General a question. Obviously if one were to set up a company, one would not structure it like the HSE at all, because it is too big and unwieldy. However, is it possible to have one accounting system and one procurement system in the HSE, or is the answer to that question that this option was...

Marc MacSharry: Sure, but obviously it pays-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Sep 2020)
Marc MacSharry: Obviously it has been going on for maybe ten years, and probably at every second meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts over the years it is an issue that has come up in some way or another in terms of the HSE. Does the HSE have a plan? Is there company designing a system for the HSE which will be in place-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Sep 2020)
Marc MacSharry: It is more like turning a planet than turning a ship. When the officials from the HSE appear before the committee, the focus should be on its management system in terms of procurement. I suppose it is impossible to have a totally perfect system and that there are not going to be exceptions. In the post-Covid period, for whomever sits on this committee, there will be a few tough meetings...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Sep 2020)
Marc MacSharry: There is a level of understanding. It would, however, be useful to get an update from the HSE as to when it will have one integrated system that is clearly navigable for people who are looking in, such as members of the committee, or its own internal or external auditors to be able to see that these things are done.
