- Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy. (25 May 2023)
Marc MacSharry: ...Fáil in the 1967 local elections, such was his ability to trace everybody. He made everybody feel special, no matter whether it was at a cumann meeting at the top of Donegal or the bottom of Cork. People might have met him at the Ard-Fheis for a split second but he would be able to say, "Hello, Mary. How are you? How are John and the children? How did the cattle go this year?"...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Tourist Accommodation (15 Feb 2023)
Marc MacSharry: ...The other area on which there will be an impact is seasonal employment. Thankfully, we now have the Atlantic Technological University, ATU in our region but many from the region are students in Dublin, Galway, Limerick, Cork and elsewhere and they depend on seasonal employment to save money to cater for their exponentially rising accommodation, living and transport costs and so on. When...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Passport Services (22 Mar 2022)
Marc MacSharry: ..., the signature by the garda is in the wrong place or the consent form is not uploaded correctly. We could have a level 1 checking system instead of pallets of post in Balbriggan or, for the Munster passport applications, in Cork. No doubt the public would quite happily pay a score for the purpose so that they would not have to cancel the holiday or miss the loved one's funeral or so...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Broadband Connectivity and Telecommunications Issues: Eir (25 Nov 2020)
Marc MacSharry: It did a great job. It recruited from Cork. With hindsight, would it have been better to use a company in Galway or Sligo, if there were any, to handle the recruitment?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Broadband Connectivity and Telecommunications Issues: Eir (25 Nov 2020)
Marc MacSharry: ...Telecommunications had also been in Sligo for a number of years, so its former staff would have been available. Abtran, which did its direct recruitment locally and did not go all the way to Cork to seek staff in the Sligo or north-west area, employed 350 people and did not seem to have a problem. Does Ms Lennon accept that the problem here is not a CEO blaming the staff but, rather, the...

Marc MacSharry: Are pay rates in Limerick and Cork-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Broadband Connectivity and Telecommunications Issues: Eir (25 Nov 2020)
Marc MacSharry: ...answers. I ask that she contact her staff in Sligo to address her commitment to them given the discourse here this morning and last night. I humbly suggest that when recruiting in Sligo perhaps a Cork-based recruitment firm is not the best way to proceed.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Broadband Connectivity and Telecommunications Issues: Eir (25 Nov 2020)
Marc MacSharry: Of course, it is a reputable firm but I bet it is better at recruiting in Cork than in Sligo.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Marc MacSharry: ...Department that is looking for various properties, we bought a site at Caltragh in Sligo for a new Garda station which was to be part of a bundle of three Garda stations with Clonmel and Macroom in Cork. Is it the Garda Commissioner who directs that we do not need anymore? Is it the Secretary General of the Department of Justice? Is it the Minister? Who is it?
- Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (Resumed) (10 Jun 2020)
Marc MacSharry: ...such vehicles by 2030, as there are only 100 fast-charging points throughout the entire country. According to the researchers and the marine and renewable energy research centre at University College, Cork, pollution from cars during this period has decreased by 50%. This might buy us a little time but in overall terms it will not make any significant contribution to our targets for 2030...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Joint Committee (27 Nov 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Did the CEO of Cork Airport write to us directly as well?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Joint Committee (27 Nov 2019)
Marc MacSharry: ...Ireland was at the meeting for a different reason, and because of his background with Ryanair, he threw in a few nuggets of information which turned out to be false. He claimed that the worst thing Cork Airport ever did was stay with Dublin Airport, as things have not gone well for it since. That is not the case, as there has been substantial growth there since and things are going very...
- Financial Resolutions 2019 - Financial Resolution No. 9: General (Resumed) (10 Oct 2019)
Marc MacSharry: ...permitted by the Minister to fleece hard-pressed commuters who have already made the switch from cars to public transport. People living in Dungarvan, County Waterford, who want to get the bus to work in Cork city will pay €9 for an adult return ticket. The bus travels through Youghal and their work colleagues who live there and will travel half of the journey will pay twice the...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Marc MacSharry: What about Bus Éireann's route 40 from Dungarvan in County Waterford to Cork city?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Bus Éireann has been questioned on the matter that I am raising and it indicates that it is the NTA's baby. I will tell the story and Ms Graham can react. Dungarvan to Cork city is route 40. It is a 75 km distance. Youghal is around the middle of it. Dungarvan to Youghal is about 27 km and then there is a further 48 km into Cork city. If I alight the bus at Dungarvan to go to work...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Marc MacSharry: In fleecing the Youghal commuter to Cork, this is exclusively Bus Éireann's baby.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Marc MacSharry: The NTA has no role. I understand that perhaps in the municipal area of Cork County Council, Bus Éireann attended and indicated that the NTA had a role in that aspect. It does not.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fáilte Ireland, Shannon Group and Port of Waterford Company: Chairpersons Designate (2 Oct 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Let us say a new Government was formed tomorrow morning and it decided to put Shannon, Cork and Dublin back together again. Does Ms Hynes think that would enhance or decrease the airport's potential to regain its former glory and kick on in numbers?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Fáilte Ireland, Shannon Group and Port of Waterford Company: Chairpersons Designate (2 Oct 2019)
Marc MacSharry: If we had separate tourism bodies for Shannon, Dublin and Cork, as well as Fáilte Ireland, we would be dividing our focus. That is the implication.
