- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: Maybe some kind of global figure could be provided. The industry is forever telling us the amount of money collected in transport taxes, be it from the sale of new cars, excise duties on fuel or motor car tax. What is the overall picture and overall expenditure? We know some of it gets absorbed in general taxation. The water thing goes into the Department of Housing, Planning, Community...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: Not the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. It only gets a share of the motor tax. As big a share goes straight to Irish Water from the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government. Representatives from the latter Department will be here in the next week or so. We will put the question to them on the day. The Society of the Irish Motor Industry is always...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: The Deputy's point is substantially well made. The first round of speakers have put their questions. We will have some supplementary questions shortly, but I first want to ask about local sports grants. Perhaps the witnesses can give the committee a breakdown county by county of grants, between public bodies and the voluntary community sporting organisations. There was a time they would...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: There is a figure in the Comptroller and Auditor General's report for the national sports governing bodies, including the GAA, the IRFU and the FAI. Is the Olympic Council of Ireland part of that funding?

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: Is there a service level agreement, SLA, between the Department and Sport Ireland regarding how the latter disburses its funds? Sport Ireland must have a service level agreement with the various bodies it funds.

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: The question is very simple.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: Sport Ireland gets funding of over €17 million per annum from the Department. As Accounting Officer, will he indicate if there was a service level agreement with that organisation in respect of the years we are examining, namely, 2015 or 2016?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: I find it alarming that a body to which the Department pays approximately €17 million can come before the committee but that nobody can say whether a service level agreement exists. Can any of Mr. Doyle's colleagues answer that? I would hate to think there is an answer in the system and it is just not getting out. I want to be fair to Mr. Doyle and give him an opportunity.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: So the answer is "Yes", there is a service level agreement with the appropriate body.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
