- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 86 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Bord na gCon (27 Nov 2014)
John McGuinness: Would Mr. Ryan find out what official dealt with that strategic plan in 2006 and 2007? Who signed off on that plan? Was it tested in any way, given the background, from Mr. Dalton’s report right through to the Comptroller and Auditor General’s report? Who tested it and who signed off on the plan?
