Referendum funding accountability
Mattie McGrath raises the Supreme Court’s criticism of referendum funding and seeks accountability, but the Chair directs him to pursue the matter through a parliamentary question.
I have indeed. I am pleased that the former Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, the current Minister for Justice and Equality, is in the House. My question relates to the Children First Bill and the whole issue around the Supreme Court decision regarding the funding for that referendum which, whatever way we put it, was misspent or whatever.

I have put down a question and I am reading from it but I am not getting an answer. I have the list of parliamentary questions before me.

The fact that the Supreme Court found that the Government had its hand in the till was never addressed in this House. It misappropriated the money.

No. These are not my words. I am quoting from the Supreme Court judge.
