Finance Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (23 Nov 2017)

David Cullinane: Sinn Féin will oppose the amendment. While speaking on the issue, I am deeply conscious that I am filling in for Teachta Doherty, who has gone out for his tea. Most likely, he is having beans, chips and a can of Coke. He is one of those people who should be in the Chamber to listen to this. He is one of those people who likes soft drinks but still supports the principle of the tax. ...

David Cullinane: You said some moment ago - you were right - that the setting of the criteria was a matter for the Government. The then Minister, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald, wrote to the Commissioner on 13 June 2016 providing her with the criteria. Is that correct?

Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)

David Cullinane: Setting the criteria from the Minister's perspective was her prerogative. Is that accurate?

Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)

David Cullinane: I have the note that was given to the Committee of Public Accounts. Is it not also the case that the Commissioner was asked to inform the Minister of the stations she had selected?
