Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 May 2022)

Brian Stanley: I have had to look for information in them with regard to bog plots, turf banks, plots of turf and also plots of land that were previously in the Land Commission or attached to a local estate. Turbary rights are registered in them. There are also tenant holdings, as you mentioned. There is information regarding leasehold, freehold and the like. I am open to correction on this but we...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 May 2022)

Brian Stanley: It is the record itself.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 May 2022)

Brian Stanley: The records are considerable. It is how accessible they are, the security of where they are, the building they are in and the maintenance of the documents, particularly if they are fragile. For example, if mice got into a building where there were paper records, enormous damage could be done over a period of time without anyone realising it.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 May 2022)

Brian Stanley: I suggest, as it was not flagged, that we come back to this item, R1230, and the newspaper article in order to give members notice next week. In fairness, the Deputy is looking at it there but the members have not seen it yet. We will come back to it next week, if that is okay, and give it a proper look.

As previously agreed, the secretariat...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 May 2022)

Brian Stanley: Horse Racing Ireland was one that some members mentioned that we would have in. For that engagement, could we mention, in particular, one item in relation to funding for Horse Sport Ireland, which comes from Horse Racing Ireland? It may come straight from the Department. I do not know what the relationship is between those two bodies. I am not clear on that. Maybe we will have a look at...

Some of this is beyond the control of the Government but some of it is not and this evening, Sinn Féin is proposing one solution that would provide some relief and a much-needed break. In response to the most recent surge in the costs in...

Brian Stanley: With regard to the information on Erkina House's closure, it had nearly happened without anyone knowing, including local Deputies and the Minister of State. I will deal with the line about Erkina House having limited access to community services and public transport. There is a Local Link bus. Residents do not go far. Normally, there is transport from within the facility. I outlined the...
