Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána
Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras (10 Jul 2014)

Seán Fleming: The Garda receives a small amount of income each year from a percentage charged to insurance companies for the collection of insurance premiums. I think I asked about this previously. Is that for uninsured drivers? How many uninsured cars does Ms O'Sullivan believe there are? From the Garda's random checks, what is the percentage of uninsured cars? Is the Garda a collection agent for...

Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 22: Courts Service (14 Nov 2019)

Seán Fleming: Has the Department of Justice and Equality ever discussed the issue with An Garda Síochána? It is clear that a Garda inspector handles all of these cases. He or she knows the reason and ticks the box. The raw material is being gathered in the court by the prosecuting side as to why a case has been struck out. The information is in the files. It would be useful to record it,...

To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of former Garda stations that were offered for sale on behalf of the Office of Public Works in 2013 and 2014; the total proceeds from completed sales; if any are currently offered for sale; the number that have been transferred to community use; the number that have been reinstated as operational Garda stations following...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Mar 2018)

Seán Fleming: Yes. To remove any mystery about it, the gentleman who has compiled this report has put his name to it. The former member of the Garda Síochána is John O'Brien, and he has some knowledge of this particular area. We will ask for a detailed report from the Garda Síochána and the Department of Justice and Equality to address the issues. Perhaps, as Deputy Kelly has said,...

Chapter 26: Collection of Motor Taxation
Vote 20: An Garda Síochána (16 May 2013)

Seán Fleming: Mr. Culhane might send us a note on what was paid out between 2011 and 2012. How much was paid out in legal and medical fees and how much went to gardaí? I raised this issue previously and was astounded to find that a certain amount was paid to the garda and that 50% on top of this covered legal fees because the case was dealt with in the High Court. It was phenomenal. Somebody is...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Seán Fleming: For the next meeting, I will ask the secretariat to look at the report to identify those chapters and sections that are not involved in the Garda investigation, to list those topics, and to list the topics that are not appropriate for us to proceed with. The Deputy's point is right. I will ask the secretariat to do this in order that the committee knows and agrees the aspects we will and...

Protected Disclosures Bill 2013: Report Stage (12 Jun 2014)

Seán Fleming: ...amendment has a resonance among the public because if this legislation does not stand the test when it leaves this Chamber and has been signed by the President such that it affords protection to gardaí, it will be seriously diminished. That is why I brought forward a specific amendment on Committee Stage, on which we had a detailed discussion. I note that while the Minister has gone...

Other Questions: National Procurement Service (21 Nov 2012)

Seán Fleming: I will take up the offer of a meeting about the Garda cars. I have heard conflicting reports at the various meetings I have attended from the Garda and the Office of Public Works. One passes the buck to the other. The biggest issue in the past was when there was no volume discount as part of the arrangement. That is fine if one is buying 50 cars but if one is buying 70 or 80, there should...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)

Seán Fleming: We will write to the acting commissioner today asking for a copy of the report prepared by An Garda Síochána - it is what is in An Garda Síochána, not what is in the Department of Justice and Equality or is going to Cabinet - by tomorrow evening, which is Friday, and we are requesting him to attend next Thursday morning. We will set aside a half an hour, with the time to...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (17 Oct 2019)

Seán Fleming: ...out there but it is not for us to put it out there. The name is mentioned three or four times in the letter but it will be redacted when we publish it. Second, I think everybody is clear that An Garda Síochána does not have an organisational policy in place for exit surveys, so it does not know. That is the honest answer. If it does not have a policy, it could not have said...

Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (31 May 2017)

Seán Fleming: I want to ask the Department one quick question, which will only take 30 seconds. Can the Department send us what information it has, in view of the fact that the Garda Commissioner is the Accounting Officer? When the Minister comes in here to meet the Oireachtas Select Committee on Justice and Equality to discuss the annual Estimates and sits with down with the committee to discuss the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Jul 2017)

Seán Fleming: We will have that circulated and published. We are dealing with the Garda Vote No. 20; the Courts Service Vote No. 22. The intention had been that we would have had a joint discussion with An Garda Síochána and the Courts Service to discuss the collection of fines for the penalty points, but I have been informed that the report is not ready. I understand there was no separate...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)

Seán Fleming: ...the acting commissioner, but I had intended we would write to him again to remind him of the commitment and, if we had that complete, that he would be invited. Rather than to get straight into the Garda, given that we can come to it in the work programme, we will give the Garda representatives the week to supply it. We will tell them that if we do not receive it, they will be invited in....

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jun 2018)

Seán Fleming: ...the correspondent and tell him that matters in regard to the amalgamation should be referred to the Registrar of Friendly Societies in the Companies Registration Office and matters in regard to the Garda should be dealt with by the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission. We will inform him of the two agencies with which he should make contact. If any member wishes to view the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Mar 2017)

Seán Fleming: We have agreed that the Garda Síochána, the Department of Justice and Equality and the Courts Service have to deal with issues relating to fines, the courts, etc.. Obviously, they must also deal with the Templemore issue. This matter has been referred to us by the Garda Síochána and we have to deal with it. Separately, we have a meeting with the Department of Justice...
