Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Mar 2023)

Jerry Buttimer: When did Benefacts finish?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Mar 2023)

Jerry Buttimer: There has been no similar service available since. From reading the letter, it is clear to me that the can was being kicked a long way down the road again and that there is nothing left within this. We are dealing with two Departments but it seems that the Department of Rural and Community Development has been landed with the task of development. In so far as I can read it, Pobal will...

Jerry Buttimer: There is nothing there-----

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Mar 2023)

Jerry Buttimer: A partial replacement. It is working out at about €900,000, or less than €1 million, per year. The work on this stops with the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform. We are going back to it on one point but we need to tell it we have been without the information since the time in question. It will say everyone is relying on the CSO...

Jerry Buttimer: Absolutely. It is very specific concerning grant aid and funding, particularly for the community and voluntary sector. What are the sources of information since the time in question? The reply we received back from the Department of Rural and Community Development is inadequate. The Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform is in control of what...

There has been a game of tennis going on. We have been going back and...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Mar 2023)

Jerry Buttimer: Maybe we will consider it after the next business meeting. I thank the Deputy for that. No. 1761B, from Ms Dee Forbes, director general of RTÉ, provides information requested by the committee regarding Toy Show – the Musical. It is proposed to note and publish this item of correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed. Deputy Catherine Murphy flagged this.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Mar 2023)

Jerry Buttimer: We should ask whether there was a business case that included that and other information. RTÉ will argue that people have been raising, including at meetings of this committee, the need for RTÉ to broaden out and bring in more commercial revenue. We have raised this with it. Obviously, with commercial activity of this type, and particularly with shows, there is a risk involved....
