Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Dec 2013)

Simon Harris: I do not particularly mind whether they come in today or tomorrow. If they come today, there needs to be a period for us to review correspondence. We cannot curtail the meeting we intend to have.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Dec 2013)

Simon Harris: Deputy Eoghan Murphy makes a valid point. The Committee of Public Accounts is constantly being asked by the Government to do more and I am conscious of the pressure that must put on our secretariat. We have been referenced in the Dáil and by Ministers regarding the body of work on NAMA and the section 38 agencies in terms of the Government's response. We have been told that part of...

Simon Harris: I do not disagree with anything the Chairman or Deputy Fleming said. Those who potentially misled the committee last week should certainly apologise to the committee. The serious damage that has been done to the charity sector was due to the fact that the CRC directors were directly taking money raised by fundraising. They put their hands in that pot and put it into their own pockets....

Simon Harris: I thank everyone for being here. I will start with St. Vincent’s University Hospital because it is clear to me that all is not well. I will begin with Ms Buckley. It seems from the latest tranche of letter writing by our new pen pal that there is an effort to try to divide and conquer Departments. This may be a sign of things to come in how we will deal with this issue at St....

Simon Harris: That is a very helpful and comprehensive statement from Ms Buckley and I believe that is the answer to Mr. Jermyn, if he is watching. In preparing his statement Mr. Jermyn might take into consideration the clear view of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. I will return to the HSE. I am looking at the list it sent us of the additional remuneration payments made from private,...

Simon Harris: I will keep going. I have a question for Mr. O'Brien on the service level agreement. It seems clear that when a person signs a service level agreement, he or she is signing up to be in compliance with public sector pay policy. Can we check who signed service level agreements? Does Mr. O'Brien know who signed them? Would it have been the chief executive? Who would normally sign them?
