Paul McAuliffe: What made Ms Bradley consider that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: That leads to a follow-on question of whether anybody else's base was changed?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: Of course. Was anybody else's base changed as part of this policy at a senior level? For example, was Ms Bradley's place of work changed?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: Was Ms Campion's-----

Paul McAuliffe: It could be done for logical organisational reasons. It comes to the core of an additional cost being levied on the organisation. Mr. O'Donnell was travelling. He was being reimbursed for the travel he did and did not gain any money from that. You can make a few bob on subsistence but by and large-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: -----you would want to be working very hard. My point is Mr. O'Donnell did the work and was reimbursed from a tax perspective, but the issue is that the company paid more money when it already had a contractual arrangement with Mr. O'Donnell to not incur that cost.

Paul McAuliffe: The point Ms Bradley is making is that it was an honest error. The next issue is the deciding of the change of contracts with the CEO. It is an unusual position because the CEO has no line boss at an administrative level within the company. Is it normal to directly go to the chair on different issues?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: Normally, the reporting relationship is between the CEO and the board.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: There was a level of informality in board governance in that if it had been communicated by Mr. O'Donnell to the chair, it would probably normally have gone through a board meeting or been entered into a board pack and so on, but there was that informal connection between Ms Bradley and the chair. Again, that points to an informality of governance that might have happened for very...

Paul McAuliffe: Of course. Mr. Maher is saying the senior counsel report gave the basis for the removal of the board.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: Documents were being sought, but where is the McCann FitzGerald report at this point?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: Yes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: It was commissioned by the Department.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: If Mr. Maher is not a position to respond on behalf of the Department today, could he seek a written reply to that question from the Department?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: It was a simple question. Can we get a written update as to where things are in the process?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: The committee is asking where we are in the investigation. It is a legitimate question. We could be at the very beginning or at the end-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: I am not asking Mr. Maher for that. I am asking him to get an update from the Department on it.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Local Authorities (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: As a Government TD who has supported housing, I welcome the 69 new units which will be developed in Cappaghfinn and launched by Fingal County Council very soon. The real regret is that in order for anyone to access that estate, for the cathaoirleach of Fingal County Council to cut the ribbon or for me to attend the opening ceremony or indeed for many of the families to enter the estate and...

Paul McAuliffe: The Ceann Comhairle got in ahead of me. I was going to make the same point but it comes with more force-----
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Local Authorities (6 Jul 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: When the point is made from the Chair, it is more helpful. I ask the Minister of State to reflect on that. I take his comments in the tone they are made because what they are essentially saying is that often in Ireland we do not devolve enough responsibility to local authorities and that we do not give them the powers to pursue it. What he said is that this is a matter for both the...
