- Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Supplementary Estimates for the Public Services 2019
Vote 35 - Army Pensions (28 Nov 2019) Jack Chambers: I thank the Minister of State for his statement. He mentioned demand-led drivers and one of the submission documents states there is a natural rate of turnover. Is the current rate of turnover a natural rate of turnover? Will he clarify what he meant by this? Is he satisfied that turnover is at the appropriate and natural rate or is it too high? He stated it is driven by natural turnover...

Vote 35 - Army Pensions (28 Nov 2019) Jack Chambers: In the interests of clarity, perhaps for Deputy McLoughlin, on the last occasion in the Dáil, the Minister of State stated the committee was at fault for many of the issues. Robust accountability is important. If the Minister of State is sensitive about that, it is his constitutional role, which, in fairness, I think he accepts. It is important we get answers.
- Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Supplementary Estimates for the Public Services 2019
Vote 35 - Army Pensions (28 Nov 2019) Jack Chambers: We have not got answers. I take Deputy McLoughlin's point. I just want to correct an issue and that is why I interjected. The Minister of State himself, in a response to Parliamentary Question No. 98 of 27 March 2019, outlined specifically the savings, gross and net. My interpretation of that is clear. It is the net surrender to the Exchequer. In 2014, the gross savings were...

Did the Civil Defence receive funding from the Dormant Accounts Fund, which was subsequently channelled elsewhere as part of a net return?...

The Minister has now brought in a matter related to the Dormant Accounts Fund, on which he cannot provide clarity. He mentioned the Dormant Accounts Fund to distract from the...
