Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Imelda Munster: Will a representative from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and, perhaps, the Comptroller and Auditor General outline a process whereby the Government might decide whether or not to increase a Secretary General's grade within a Department? What is the formal process involved in the context of the review? Is it based upon particular criteria, such as the size of a Department?...

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Imelda Munster: As it stands, would it be dependent on the size of the Department involved and various other criteria. Is there a certain criterion at the moment or could it be decided at the whim of the Secretary General of, say, the Department of the Taoiseach?

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Imelda Munster: I heard one of my colleagues raise this matter earlier. There seems to be some confusion around the agreement for pay upgrades to grade I. If that original agreement was made with an individual from the Department of the Taoiseach who is now in a different Department or a new role, could that not simply be clarified by asking about that initial conversation? Is there something in writing?...

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Imelda Munster: We know that, but my question is why that is not being clarified. If the person who led the Department to believe that this would be the case is still in a Department or in another role, why is simple clarification not sought on that?

- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: General Scheme of the Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: Fáilte Ireland's initial scoping exercise identified 30,000 properties. In relative terms, how many beds does that amount to?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: General Scheme of the Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: Fáilte Ireland identified ten staff for oversight and and so on. That is one member of staff to 13,000 properties. Why was it just ten staff? Was this due to budget constraints, or was there another reason it was felt one member of staff would be sufficient for 13,000 properties?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: General Scheme of the Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: So Mr. O'Leary is fairly confident that Fáilte Ireland has sufficient resources to oversee adherence and that sort of thing.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: General Scheme of the Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: What sort of powers will the staff have? Could they enter a property if they suspected it was being let but not registered?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: General Scheme of the Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: Are there 30,000 places identified already that have not in any form been declared?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: General Scheme of the Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: Is Mr O'Leary saying that compliance with registration is down to the individual property owner?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: General Scheme of the Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: What powers will the enforcement officers have if they suspect somebody has not registered? It is back to that question.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: General Scheme of the Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: On the sites on which the initial scoping was done, including short-term letting sites, was social media, including Facebook pages, included? Is that yet to be done?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: General Scheme of the Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: It was stated it will not be possible to collect fees for one or two years. Is that correct? Head 11 states it will not be possible to collect fees for one or two years. Is that correct?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: General Scheme of the Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: Is Mr O'Shea saying that, immediately from the day a property owner registers, the fee will be applied? Alternatively, will it take time before fees could be applied?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: General Scheme of the Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: Has Mr. O'Leary any idea what the fee will be?

Imelda Munster: That is grand. My next question is for Mr. Sheridan. When Fáilte Ireland was tasked, it identified 30,000 properties based on its initial scoping of sites. How come the Department did not do that folllowing the legislation in 2019?
