The Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources has raised concern over the recent activities of the Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee.

Management at the Central Remedial Clinic and Irish Water, as well as Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan are among those who have been questioned in several high-profile meetings of the committee since Christmas.

Speaking on RTÉ Radio, Pat Rabbitte said the PAC was, in some instances, duplicating the work of other Oireachtas committees.

The minister cited the questioning of Irish Water officials by the PAC and the Environment Committee on consecutive days as an example.

On a future banking inquiry, Mr Rabbitte said it was "perfectly feasible" to expect politicians to conduct the inquiry, even if they have expressed a view on the country's financial collapse.

However, he added that those who have made personal allegations or expressed personal convictions about those who will come under scrutiny in such an inquiry, should disqualify themselves from taking part. 

"If they have made intemperate, or vituperative, personal allegations or expressed their convictions about personalities, then I think they would be better to disqualify themselves from the inquiry," he said.
