Chapter 8 - Operation of the Emergency Call Answering Service (7 May 2015) John Perry: It is appalling the number of deceased people who remain on household data in every county. People are not taken off databases. A number of letters are returned for that reason. That has been happening for years. Is there co-operation between Departments on the matter? We are talking about a centralised system using joined-up thinking rather than having schizophrenia in government....

Chapter 8 - Operation of the Emergency Call Answering Service (7 May 2015) John Perry: Perhaps the Comptroller and Auditor General might look at the matter in the future. This is a unique opportunity. We are paying €16.8 million for a totally chronological database on houses while other Departments have no data whatsoever. I am totally astonished at the inaccuracy in the information held by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. I am...

Chapter 8 - Operation of the Emergency Call Answering Service (7 May 2015) John Perry: I suggest that the clerk could write to the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government because an abundance of taxpayers' money is being wasted in this regard. A number of publications are produced. Could the Comptroller and Auditor General carry out a cost-benefit analysis on how it could be done better? It is regrettable that deceased people are still on the register...

Chapter 8 - Operation of the Emergency Call Answering Service (7 May 2015) John Perry: Mr. Griffin discussed broadband. There are a number of exchanges around the country. You are correct, Chairman, about broadband and fibre optics. A number of exchanges have not been upgraded. While we are waiting for the 100 MB, why is it the case that a number of exchanges have not been connected? You raised with Inland Fisheries Ireland, IFI, Chairman, that we have the biggest...

Chapter 8 - Operation of the Emergency Call Answering Service (7 May 2015) John Perry: We are talking about generating benefits for every town and village. It is an issue given the restrictions on drift netting and draft netting in terms of salmon fishing. You raise a very important issue, Chairman.

John Perry: May I make one point? Obviously the recommendation is very important. Much of the funding would come from the estate of the people concerned. It would not always come from insurance companies. It could be the residual of probate.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 May 2015)
John Perry: I think they would be quite willing to come in. Given what the Comptroller and Auditor General has said with regard to the draft Bill in 2006, perhaps we could look at that possibility.

I welcome Mr. Moran and his team. In referring to who is paying the appointee and to what his job will be, it would be wrong to make any inference about impartiality. The success of the liquidation of the IBRC to date has far exceeded the expectations at the time of the promissory note...

It is easy to look back with the benefit of hindsight, based on things having changed, but at the time in question one was looking at a very dormant, bleak balance sheet.
