Chapter 18: Department Reviews of welfare Schemes, Social Welfare Appeals Process, Social Insurance Fund (7 Dec 2017) David Cullinane: Maybe I could be more helpful. There are two organisations, Turas Nua and Seetec. Is that right?

Chapter 18: Department Reviews of welfare Schemes, Social Welfare Appeals Process, Social Insurance Fund (7 Dec 2017) David Cullinane: There was €71.2 million spent between July 2015 and September 2017.

Chapter 18: Department Reviews of welfare Schemes, Social Welfare Appeals Process, Social Insurance Fund (7 Dec 2017) David Cullinane: This is not about protecting the State or about the precise breakdown of expenditure. An amount of money was given to Turas Nua. Mr. McKeon signed the cheque. We had a discussion on RTÉ recently. At least we know how much money was given to it.

Chapter 18: Department Reviews of welfare Schemes, Social Welfare Appeals Process, Social Insurance Fund (7 Dec 2017) David Cullinane: I am not asking that; I am just asking about the overall amount given to Turas Nua. I am asking about the cheque Mr. McKeon signed for the time period. How can he not give us that?

Chapter 18: Department Reviews of welfare Schemes, Social Welfare Appeals Process, Social Insurance Fund (7 Dec 2017) David Cullinane: I do understand that. What I am saying is that we are today at a meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts. The Accounting Officer is here. We have two organisations that get very significant amounts of money from the State and we are not even in a position to know how much taxpayers' money is given to them. That is unbelievable.

Chapter 18: Department Reviews of welfare Schemes, Social Welfare Appeals Process, Social Insurance Fund (7 Dec 2017) David Cullinane: I am not interested in the overall programme. I am a public representative and I get paid a salary. People know what I get. We know exactly how much is given to each organisation. I only gave the example of RTÉ because we know that €170 million is given to that organisation. We do not have to go into the precise details of how that money is spent, but we at least know the...

I have a job to do and if I cannot get basic information, I cannot do it and that is a source of frustration.

Chapter 18: Department Reviews of welfare Schemes, Social Welfare Appeals Process, Social Insurance Fund (7 Dec 2017) David Cullinane: I will not take ten minutes, only three or four. The caveat to my questions is that the Secretary General and his colleagues have been exemplary in their presentation of the accounts and answering of questions. That is worth noting because it is not always the case. I am happy to put it on the record. When I put my questions on JobPath, I understand that Mr. McKeon was not refusing to...

Chapter 18: Department Reviews of welfare Schemes, Social Welfare Appeals Process, Social Insurance Fund (7 Dec 2017) David Cullinane: If €71.2 million had been paid out to the two organisations, I asked whether Mr. McKeon could give me a breakdown of how much Turas Nua and Seetec got, but he said that that would be difficult to do for reasons of commercial sensitivity. The problem is that each of these organisations can easily work out what the other got. Turas Nua and Seetec will now be aware of the €71.2...

David Cullinane: It is estimated that between 10,000 and 13,000 people survive and live with a brain injury each year. People with acquired brain injuries are the largest users of neurorehabilitation services in Ireland, yet these services are severely underfunded. According to the organisation Acquired Brain Injury Ireland, neurorehabilitation enables people with a brain injury to recover and relearn...
