Seán Fleming: We want a detailed report from the Department on the free travel card, what information goes to the various operators and the NTA, how the payment is calculated and if it is based on a block grant. The figure for CIÉ is historically a block grant. Some of the newer companies are probably fully automated. The NTA operates a system through which some of the operators work. Those...

Seán Fleming: If the Department has provided a lot of information, I do not want to wait for the Comptroller and Auditor General's report because that can go to the Minister and sit there for three months.

Seán Fleming: What I am asking is totally reasonable from the point of view of the Department - a breakdown of payments to the different operators, how the system works, who is paid for actual travel, who is paid for estimated travel and who gets a block grant. This all started with a query about the public services card. We are coming at this information from the points of view of the use of the card...

Seán Fleming: We asked its representatives a straight question when they were before the committee. They said the Department issues the card and we said we would talk to the departmental representatives about it when they came before the committee. I am not casting any aspersions.

Seán Fleming: I have a few final questions, having looked through the documentation presented to us. Mr. McKeon mentioned that around 1% of all cases are appealed. I ask him to send a note on how many refusals are appealed. I presume that most people who apply for a payment and get that payment do not appeal. The only figure that is relevant in terms of judging the numbers that will appeal is the...

Seán Fleming: -----either in whole or in part. I ask Mr. McKeon to send us a note on that so that we can have it on our records, rather than just approximate figures off the top of the head. There is not a Deputy in this House who does not know of cases where further information is supplied to the appeals office that might not have been supplied to the Department at an earlier date. This is often due to...
