Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Bobby Aylward: As I was not present for part of the meeting, some of my questions may be repetitious. Unfortunately, I cannot do anything about that. Deputy Connolly referred to a figure of €17.8 million for the Mahon tribunal, which has not yet concluded. We also had the Smithwick tribunal and other tribunals.

Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Bobby Aylward: Does Ms McPhillips believe tribunals offer value for money? I am not arguing we should not have tribunals. Members of the public want answers and a way must be found to get them answers, but are tribunals the solution given the costs involved? Money is scarce and we have spent a couple of hundred million euro on inquiries. Do they provide value for money and are there easier ways of...

Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Bobby Aylward: I mean no disrespect to the legal profession, whose members are well trained and educated professionals. While I know a newspaper is only ink on paper, one often reads in newspapers about people who received millions in payments from the Exchequer and taxpayers. It annoys me that this kind of money is paid. One sees the costs per day for members of the legal profession and the support they...

Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Bobby Aylward: I want to move on. Nearly every speaker has referred to the rent paid for departmental premises on Wolfe Tone Street, Dublin. I thought the witness was a little blasé this morning when referring to a sum of €3.5 million, which went to waste. The attitude was dismissive. It was as if this happened and no one will be held responsible. This money would achieve a great deal in...

Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Bobby Aylward: Instead of giving the vendor compensation, should the taxpayer not have sought compensation on the basis of the information given originally? Someone gave clearance in respect of planning permission. Why does the taxpayer have to give the vendor more than €1 million on top of what was paid for the site. We should have taken back the money we gave the vendor.
