- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: In the first instance, I have a sense that we are in a better place than we were the last time IFI appeared before this committee in July. There is a sense here of an organisation emerging from a crisis. The Minister's intervention, in terms of discharging the previous board on a no-fault basis, put us in a position where we could rebuild. I have a couple of questions but before posing...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Okay, so it is meeting on a very regular basis.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: There would normally be five members on the audit and risk committee, constituted from the board. Has that committee been reconstituted?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: That is good. That was one of the EY recommendations. Of course, an important member of the board should be the CEO who acts in an ex officio capacity, involving full participation and voting rights. As deputy CEO, is Dr. Gallagher able to attend board meetings, with full voting capacity?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Dr. Gallagher is attending but does not have voting privileges. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: That is an issue. I want to explore a small ambiguity in the opening statement. Dr. Gallagher said that Mr. O'Donnell is ill and continues to be on leave. Is that illness leave?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: There is an ambiguity in the statement, which reads, "As advised to the Committee in advance of the March meeting by the CEO, Mr O’Donnell is ill and continues to be on leave."
