- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Seán Fleming: I thank the witnesses for coming here today. I have a few short questions. Much of the ground has been well covered already. I would like to have something clarified in my own mind. I know the development board was established by SI 246/2007. What is its legal standing? Is it a company limited by shares or by guarantee? I cannot get information on its legal standing by looking at its...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Seán Fleming: I want to simplify it for the public. We need to bear in mind that we are talking to the public here. I know the board was established under an establishment order, as set out in SI 246/2007. Can Mr. Farragher explain to the public what that means in plain English? People understand that a company has shares, is limited by guarantee or runs a community employment scheme. Is the board...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Seán Fleming: Perhaps the Comptroller and Auditor General or someone else can explain that. Mr. Woods seems to know about it. How many other corporate bodies are out there? People would like to know what the shape of the vehicle we are talking about is. I do not think too many people would know what a corporate body established under the 1961 Act means. It is a technical answer. I wonder whether...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Seán Fleming: I am moving on. Does it have limited liability like a company under the Companies Act?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Seán Fleming: It does not have limited liability at all. If things go wrong, who does somebody sue at the end of the day? In the case of a company, there are shareholders or whatever. Who does somebody sue in the case of a body like this? Who is left carrying the can? We know it is the taxpayer, but does the board have any role before we get to the poor taxpayer? Do the members of the board have any...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Seán Fleming: I understand the practicalities. I am more interested in the legal form. If a receiver or a liquidator comes in, he or she can chase a company director for reckless or fraudulent trading. There are liabilities attaching to being a director in a company. Can the members of the board make a hames of this without being chased? Do they have the same level of legal responsibility to the board...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Seán Fleming: I have given three or four exact examples. I suspect I am not getting an answer. Perhaps Mr. Woods will be able to help here. Is there a lacuna here? Are people being put on a board without having any legal liability? It is not a limited company. If it was, the Director of Corporate Enforcement could come after the members of the board if they did something wrong. The Garda...
