Seanad: Public Service Superannuation (Age of Retirement) Bill 2018: Second Stage (12 Jul 2018)

Gerry Horkan: I thank the Minister of State for bringing the Bill before the House. I think he is aware that Fianna Fáil will support the Bill, as he made reference to it in his speech. It is unfortunate that it has taken so long to get to this stage because it was stated as far back as last December that the Minister intended to resolve the anomaly regarding the compulsory retirement age, yet here...

Gerry Horkan: Mr. Cahillane referred to somewhere between €5 million and €6 million to €20 million. Does he have no oversight or knowledge, other than hearsay or what he might have seen on "Prime Time" or what might have been mentioned here regarding various contractors, that is, about €250,000 and €16,000 or €60,000? Does he not know?

Gerry Horkan: Is it within the NDFA's remit to ask DIF and PPP Co, which the contract is still with, for a list of those whom they believe are outstanding and unpaid?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Public Private Partnerships - Liquidation of the Carillion Group: National Development Finance Agency and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (26 Jul 2018)

Gerry Horkan: That is what I was clarifying. It was my analysis of it. DIF took over the 50% involvement of Carillion. DIF is now effectively 100% PPP Co, is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Public Private Partnerships - Liquidation of the Carillion Group: National Development Finance Agency and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (26 Jul 2018)

Gerry Horkan: If the NDFA wishes to use it, which is not the impression I have, there is a relatively easy mechanism in place to quantify the amount DIF believes to be outstanding. This would allow us to put a figure on the table and the subcontractors could either agree or disagree with it or argue for or against it. Let us at least quantify exactly what is involved here, whether it is €20...

Gerry Horkan: I accept, having been here for the past two and a half hours, that the priority is to get the schools open. There are many people in the Gallery, and I am sure others are watching proceedings, who may not be able to buy new school uniforms or books for their children this year because they have been let down. They thought they were entering into a deal to build schools for the State. What...
