Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

David Cullinane: There is a time factor involved in some of these issues. This was a report on a variety of issues but one of the substantial ones was the opening and reopening of Garda stations, which we gave a very good hearing here.

David Cullinane: .... I do not have confidence in either Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael to support rural Ireland. They have both failed it. There are towns and villages up and down this State that have lost post offices, Garda stations, schools and healthcare services because of the policies of both parties. I do not have faith in any of them, especially Fianna Fáil which, as I said, has an absolute...

David Cullinane: ...did not properly investigate the claims made. It is alleged that they did not properly investigate or do their job in respect of allegations made. That is serious and it raises questions about An Garda Síochána, the Catholic Church, the old South-Eastern Health Board, public figures, Basketball Ireland and, potentially, other organisations as well. I have no wish to say any...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

David Cullinane: ...I had asked that we write to the HSE to request a copy of the audit. I fully appreciate the request that we do not discuss someone in detail for the reason the Chair gave that it is subject to a Garda investigation and some of the individuals involved have a right to protection as well so I have no difficulty with that. The one thing I took from the audit itself and what was in the media...
