Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Public Service Performance Report: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Kenneth Jordan:

-----and the islands funding is €14 million or €15 million per annum. As a result, when we are told five or six or an absolute maximum of seven indicators per programme area, that indicator gets removed from this report. It is in the Revised Estimates Volume, and the indicator, as Mr. Moylan said, is mainly around the use of subsidised travel services to the islands. I have the numbers here. In one way, they are probably not particularly meaningful. It was 570,000 last year, with 530,000 trips by ferry and 40,000 by air. That is about 30% up on the previous year because of the collapse in numbers with Covid. On the specific question, the issue with the public service report is that we are trying to report on the big financial programmes, in a way.
