Seán Fleming: Yes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: The Department has been asked and we are waiting for it. We do not have it, but it is on our list.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: We have that. It is in the comprehensive document which has been circulated. I looked at it before I came down. It is 952B - the TII response to the request for further information during its appearance. There is a full list of every motorway project on a county-by-county basis and the total cost of land acquisition and goodwill payments. The full detail is there.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: There is a lot of volume and it is all there. We move to item No. 4, statements and accounts received since the last meeting. On the screen, there are three sets of accounts, the first of which relates to the Social Insurance Fund. While there is a clear audit opinion, chapter 16 of the Comptroller and Auditor General's annual report this year deals with the estimated level of irregular...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: We will ask for the Vote to be included and specifically ask in regard to these chapters in respect of the Vote.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: We will come back then to the Vote separately as part of our work programme, but I do not want to be told, as part of the Vote, that as it is not part of the chapter we cannot discuss it. The same with the social insurance fund. We cannot discuss those three chapters without discussing the account out of which they are paid. That is simple.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: In regard to the work programme then, we have the Revenue Commissioners today, the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection, as it calls itself, now and then on Thursday we are starting with banking issues and the Department of Finance. What I will ask for next week is that the secretariat brings forward a draft work programme for the first couple of months of 2018. We cannot...

Seán Fleming: Before we go to the next item on the agenda, there is one item I omitted to mention before the break. I want the committee's agreement on this. The committee has already decided that we will produce a report to be published in early 2018 in respect of the public hearings we have had since the Dáil resumed in September. We will do the first five or six meetings up to early November....

- Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017) Seán Fleming: I thank Mr. Cody. I want to ask the Department of Finance a question first about Ireland's arrangement on corporation tax, which is the topic we are discussing today, and about the decision by the European Commission on the illegal state aid arising from our corporation tax arrangements with multinational companies. It was decided in August 2016 that €13 billion was to be collected...
