Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (Resumed) (22 Feb 2018)

Seán Fleming: ...based on the recommendations of the Coffey report and that it was so restricted, it seems, because one person did not make a recommendation on it. I am surprised that the review conducted did not go there. The fact that it was not in the published consultation documents probably explains why so few submissions were received. Do the witnesses accept that there is a valid issue there? It...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 Jan 2018)

Seán Fleming: We are agreed on that. We will certainly return to this topic, in particular, as part of our review of the education sector. Deputy Cullinane will send in a note suggesting how we might go about it. I understand Deputy Kelly has requested additional information on the same topic as well. If both Deputies send in their views, we will discuss it again. It is an issue that will certainly...

Seán Fleming: ...back to the €462 million that is due to the Social Insurance Fund under the redundancy and insolvency payments scheme. It is on page 13 of the audited accounts. The witnesses do not need to go through it because they know the figures. This issue was raised when Mr. McKeon's predecessor was here last year. I am looking at note three at the top of page 14, which says that it is...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Nov 2017)

Seán Fleming: ...it is bogus. I have no idea what is behind this. If the person has something to say and believes an offence has been committed, the matter should be reported to the Garda rather than us. On we go. Deputy Deering is surprised at the correspondence that is coming our way. No. 936C is correspondence dated 20 November from Marty Whelan of the Health Information and Quality Authority,...

Public Accounts Committee: Report of Comptroller and Auditor General 2016
Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: Exactly. Mr. Mulvany will give us those figures. I do not want to go into this in detail because it is not the topic we are discussing, but I note the replies we have all got to parliamentary questions relating to people seeking home help service, some of which is provided by organisations funded through section 39 agreements. I could paper my walls with the replies which we have all got....

The next item is No. 782B, correspondence dated 3 October in my name. I forwarded a link to the Garda interim report as I did not think it had been formally sent to the Committee of Public Accounts. I think we all got a copy of it so I have made sure that...

Public Accounts Committee: Health Information and Quality Authority: Financial Statement 2016 (28 Sep 2017)

Seán Fleming: ...on to the witnesses' colleagues from the Department of Health. I do not expect Dr. Kathleen MacLellan to be able to immediately answer my next question and perhaps the departmental officials will forward the answer to the committee. The health sector in Ireland includes the HSE, which has total annual expenditure of approximately €13.5 billion, and private health care centres and...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)

Seán Fleming: ...matter raised will be of real concern to many members and we should write to the board for a response to the issues and for an update on the board's work, including the financial position. We were going to follow this up by bringing them in before the summer but we held off. They seem to be moving ahead but a key element of the decision to locate to St. James's was that it was to be...

Seán Fleming: ...of the committee at the reply and lack of timeline, and insisting he does whatever is necessary with Deloitte and his own organisation to ensure it is brought to an urgent conclusion.

Seán Fleming: ...and Auditor General and that he is coming to the committee requesting to see if we have information that we received from bodies, other than those two sources, to identify and produce a list and forward it to the commission, which can then decide if it wants the information.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (1 Jun 2017)

Seán Fleming: There is a clear address on the second page. The Deputy can see it. Will we forward it to the Commissioner for a response in advance of the next meeting?
