- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Dec 2018)

Seán Fleming: ----- who would come forward for a contract of €100,00 if it was put out to tender. Following up on what Deputy Cullinane was saying, I am struck by No. 4. The upgrade of the Department's financial management system was worth €74,000. It says the vendor is the sole supplier within Ireland of the software used by the Department of Finance. How did the Department pick a...

Seán Fleming: What percentage of the Irish Strategic Investment Fund is owned by the State?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Dec 2018)
Seán Fleming: I have that note in front of me today because I have read on several occasions that the Irish Strategic Investment Fund is a State-backed fund. We do not know if it is backed by the State to the tune of 1% or 99%. We have no concept. It is good PR to put out that it is a State-backed fund. The extent to which it is backed by the State might be substantial or minuscule; I have no idea. We...

Seán Fleming: That is where the funding for the Irish Strategic Investment Fund came from.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Dec 2018)
Seán Fleming: Six billion euro. It did come from part of that and is now managed through this system. The NTMA publishes a list of investments each year.

If that information arrives in the near future, I will want to make sure that this reply about the State's share in the Irish Strategic Investment Fund is circulated as soon...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Dec 2018)
Seán Fleming: Broadband. This arose last week in the debate on broadband. We asked last week about the €730 million involving one of the other NTMA companies that had a special allocation for social housing and have already agreed to write to it. We want to know how many houses have been or are being built on a local authority by local authority basis. We covered the housing bit separately last week.
