Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 99 - Public Sector Financial Reporting for 2015 (16 Nov 2017) Alan Kelly: In fairness to Mr. O'Toole, he took on the job at a very difficult time and there were many issues around FÁS and the like. My second set of questions concerns the whole process around transferring the training side of things over to the ETBs. From a capital point of view, there has obviously been a roll-out of buildings etc. What methodology is in place for the selection of locations...

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 99 - Public Sector Financial Reporting for 2015 (16 Nov 2017) Alan Kelly: I thank Mr. O'Toole for his very good answer. I understand the cyclical nature of the industry but, presumably, if one is going to spend a huge volume of money - we are talking about millions - on a building or buildings across the country in various different locations, if they were bought, potentially for less than would be spent leasing them, at least one would have an asset at the end of...

Alan Kelly: It is kind of weird because I am looking at the back of the Secretary General's head. The Secretary General is based out of the Department of Education and Skills but how much of his time does he spend there?

Alan Kelly: I have a few quick-fire questions. Can the Department ensure that every board of every ETB publishes their minutes? There seem to be gaps in minutes across some of the boards. I will ask that question of every ETB here. Can the witnesses make a commitment that all minutes will be published online and made available?

Alan Kelly: As part of this process, as the Chairman outlined before the break, we will be writing a report and as part of that we will be making recommendations which we expect to be considered. I presume this will be one of them. We have only a selection of ETBs here. It would not be practical to have every one of them here, although I am sure we will be visiting some of them again. Could we also...

Alan Kelly: This is only a sample. Can we just have the ones on the four ETBs? We cannot be exhaustive. We have picked four ETBs. Can we have the reports from the four that are here?
- Public Accounts Committee: City of Dublin Education and Training Board and Kilkenny and Carlow Education and Training Board: Financial Statements (16 Nov 2017)
Alan Kelly: It is something we have requested so I take it the answer is "Yes." I have a number of quick-fire questions for the Secretary General. We are looking at integration. Can the Secretary General assure me there is a consistent policy across all ETBs on how expenses are claimed and leave entitlements? If not, why not and when will it happen?
