Alan Kelly: Chairman, why did the statements arrive so late?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Nov 2016)
Alan Kelly: Chairman, the statements have arrived too late, which is not fair to members, to the committee or to anyone. It is inappropriate. We have to spend a great deal of time preparing for these meeting. There is a significant level of correspondence. These statements are central to the proceedings but they arrived three quarters of a hour before the start of the meeting. We have to digest...

Alan Kelly: Mr. Long's comments on behalf of Lazard, to the effect that the ends justify the means, are astonishing. We are all beginning to know a lot more about Lazard as a global estate agent. In replies to Deputy Mary Lou McDonald and others Mr. Long said credibility, honesty, etc. were the benchmarks and DNA on which Lazard traded. I do not want to misquote him and will check the minutes of the...

Alan Kelly: I am not sure if Mr. Long has explained what he said, but I look forward to reading the transcript. I agree with the last comment of Deputy Shane Cassells and Mr. Long in providing clarity has reinforced my view that there was a rush to complete the process. Adherence to the process at all times was not absolute but was a means to an end. I have arrived at this view from consideration of...

Alan Kelly: I appreciate that. Lazard said this repeatedly and, I presume, with diplomatic sensitivity given the cross-jurisdictional issue. Who expressed this to Lazard? What people?

- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed) (22 Nov 2016)
