Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (3 Jul 2014)

John Deasy: People within organisations may have a different view on this. This is what happened in some cases where the HSE was not taken seriously on public pay issues. It was felt that an organisation should hire a particular person at a certain level so that it could benefit. In many cases this was done out of a sense of care for the organisation in question. There were good reasons for this and...

John Deasy: I appreciate the comments of Deputies Doherty, Boyd Barrett and Higgins. Deputy Doherty said regional development was not in the dictionary.

There is an issue for Ministers and senior civil servants who make the macro financial...

Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras (10 Jul 2014)

John Deasy: I welcome the acting Garda Commissioner. My first question relates to notices issued for speeding offences which arrive in the post. In many of the cases that come before the courts, the reason for the summons is that no payment was received for the fine. In many cases, however, people state that they have not received the notice. Would it not be better for everyone involved if notices...

Is that information tracked by the organisation? It is fairly basic. I appreciate Mr. O'Donohue's response and what is being done. Of those 190 fatalities, how many of those were related to alcohol?
