Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the Charities Regulatory Authority (21 Nov 2019)

David Cullinane: Why does the Regulator not get a copy of the audited report? The Comptroller and Auditor General does an audit of a Department or an organisation that comes under his remit. He does the audit, reports and there is an audited opinion. If an issue arises, it is there for everybody to see. In this situation, if one has a charity that has to carry out an audit - which they have to do - there...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Central Bank of Ireland (18 Apr 2019)

Joan Burton: How much reporting is there? What areas does it cover? Does it cover drugs, guns, terrorism, the illegal sex trade? There are a number of areas, globally and in Ireland, where a vast amount of money is being generated and this has to find its way into the banking structures. What does the Central Bank do and how does it train the banks which it supervises to deal with this?

Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Report on the Accounts of the Public Services of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

Matt Carthy: The lottery's advertising does not say 90% of the money is allocated to go back into the community. It says 90% goes back into the community and then, after the wee asterisk at the bottom, it states briefly that it includes prizes blah, blah, blah, but it is actually not the case that the full 90% goes back even, as I said, to that because it does not go to prizes. It is actually unclaimed....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Cybersecurity: Discussion (Resumed) (26 May 2021)

Ossian Smyth: The Deputy's first question was about whether the NCSC audits Government agencies. It does not. It also does not issue compliance orders against other Government agencies, on the basis that one Minister does not tell another Minister what to do. However, that does happen for organisations providing essential services, such as gas or electricity services. The operators of essential...

Statements re Minister for Finance's announcement on banking of 30 September 2010: Questions (20 Oct 2010)

Michael Noonan: When consultants, such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, advise the Minister on matters like this and it subsequently turns out their forecasts are wildly incorrect by large margins, does he still pay them? Does he keep them on his list for subsequent employment? Does he believe a payment system based on accurate results should be introduced? Does he feel those who do not do what is written on...

Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (Resumed) (22 Feb 2018)

Dr. Brian Keegan: The ratio does not matter, it is the degree of activity. The actual amount does not matter. Tax does not generally work on de minimis. It does not distinguish as to whether there is 5%, 10%, 15% or 20% which is passive. Generally speaking, it is not often an issue because if a company is trading, it is fairly obvious. If it is buying and selling stuff, manufacturing,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Unlocking EU Funding: Discussion (18 Oct 2023)

Sharon Keogan: It represents 3,300 organisations throughout the country and it does fantastic work. In regard to the Access Europe fund, €12 million has been drawn down. Is The Wheel the only organisation working on that fund or does it have a team around it? That is what I would like to know. I know The Wheel does its thing once a year in Croke Park. Is there any way - this applies to the...

Fiscal Policy. (26 Feb 2008)

Richard Bruton: Does the Tánaiste agree that he was seriously wrong in 2005 and 2006, when he said the building boom was based on sound economic fundamentals? Does he agree that he was also wrong to introduce expansionary measures in every one of his four budgets? Does he agree that the boom he cheered on has resulted in the loss of competitiveness that he rightly says is damaging our exports? Does he...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Draft Educational Research Centre (Establishment) Order 2015: Discussion with the Minister for Education and Skills (8 Jul 2015)

Jonathan O'Brien: ...for the school completion programme. There is a cross-departmental plan that must feed into the overall education system; it is not just down to the Minister. When the ERC is doing its research does it take into account other areas and Departments? Does it take account of social and environmental factors? Does it look at international best practice or does it solely examine the Irish...

Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Jun 2019)

Bobby Aylward: We all accept that. I know the fair deal scheme is under the remit of the Department of Health but does the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine have any part to play in the assessment and costings? Does it come under the remit of the Department with regard to the 7.5% charge for three years? Does the Department have any role to play or does the Department of Health deal with...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Developments in the National Debt: National Treasury Management Agency (8 Mar 2017) See 1 other result from this debate

David Cullinane: The question is about how the NTMA does it. How does it evaluate risk? Debt is either sustainable or it is not. If it becomes unsustainable, the NTMA needs measurements and processes in place that allow it to make a judgement on whether debt is sustainable, unsustainable or somewhere in between. When the NTMA carries out its risk analysis, what does it specifically do? How does it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Communications (Retention of Data) Bill 2017: Discussion (8 Nov 2017)

Jack Chambers: In a submission made by the Irish Council for Civil Liberties and Digital Rights Ireland, they have said that not only does the general scheme fail to comply with EU law, but the general scheme leaves a fragmented system of oversight in place that does not include key recommendations from the Murray review of data retention and does not adequately reflect the European Convention on Human...

Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 9: Office of the Revenue Commissioners
Chapter 17: Revenue's Progress in Tackling Tobacco Smuggling
Chapter 18: Management of High Wealth Individuals' Tax Liabilities
Chapter 19: Corporation Tax Losses (15 Nov 2018)

Seán Fleming: There are some other small items. In respect of the role of the Criminal Assets Bureau in terms of collecting tax, if it takes over an individual case, is it responsible for collecting the tax? Does Revenue step out of those cases once the Criminal Assets Bureau goes in? What is the protocol? Does the Criminal Assets Bureau collect much tax? Where does this tax go? Does it go into...

Written Answers — Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Racing Ireland Funding (16 Nov 2016)

Michael Creed: ...funding directly from HRI as provided for under legislation. Details of this funding are published in the Annual Accounts of HRI. Persons employed directly in the Industry – the Irish Stable Staff Association does not receive any direct funding from HRI but receives indirect funding as a prize money deduction. Persons Employed in the Industry – this has been...

Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis: Context Phase (11 Feb 2015)

Pearse Doherty: We know some of the figures for Anglo Irish Bank. What does a term such as "come through" mean? Let us focus on Anglo Irish Bank. In the absence of an international financial collapse does Professor FitzGerald think Anglo Irish Bank would still be trading? Does he believe its losses which we know are in the region of €34 billion would have crystallised, regardless of an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Role of Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Catherine Murphy: We know there is a lease arrangement for helicopters. How often does the tender for the lease arrangement come up? What is included and how robust is the tendering process? Is there much interest in it? Do different companies tender? Is it like with like? Is maintenance included? Does the Coast Guard hedge? Does it buy the fuel or is that part of the lease arrangement? I would...

Gangland Crime. (14 Dec 2006)

Jim O'Keeffe: Does the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform accept that while there is unwavering support for the efforts of the Garda Síochána, the same support does not extend to the Minister himself? Does he not accept that his policies on gangland crime have failed? Does he not accept that he has not provided the necessary resources to the Garda Síochána, whatever...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ports Policy (19 Sep 2018)

Mick Wallace: Will the Minister share his views on the ownership model of Rosslare Europort? Does he believe that it makes sense for a rail company to operate the port? Does he believe that it makes sense that it strips the profits year after year? Does he believe that it makes any sense not to invest in our closest port to mainland Europe, with Brexit looming? Does the Minister believe that Rosslare...

Rail Network. (24 Mar 2005)

Eamon Ryan: Does the Minister think the feasibility rule may be affected by the nature of the road connections to Navan? With regard to the ten year framework, of which this is one example, does the Department of Finance give the Minister an indicative budget for ten years time? Does the Minister for Transport then allocate resources accordingly? How does he decide between different projects? Are there...

Social Welfare Benefits. (1 Mar 2007)

David Stanton: I thank the Minister for his response. He stated only new claimants will qualify automatically. Does he have plans to extend the scheme to existing claimants? Does the Minister agree the impact of the marriage bar is now being felt and it is most unfair? Prior to 1973, women employed in the public service were forced to give up their jobs and to attend to homemaking duties. Because of...
