Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: Correct.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: We will discuss the HIQA correspondence. There might be a legal issue. The documents we discussed last week had "legal privilege" written on them. We have received correspondence to say that legal privilege is not withdrawn. We will come to all of that collectively because it is all connected. We must consider that point when we come to it.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: We will deal with all the HIQA-issued correspondence as one item in a few moments. We will now deal with the other routine items of correspondence. The next item of correspondence is category B, dated 11 October 2017 from Ms Moyagh Murdock, chief executive officer, CEO, of the Road Safety Authority following a request from the committee to provide information in respect of the impact of...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: My mistake. I wondered about that. There is an explanation on the non-competitive procurement of goods and services. We will note that reply. The next item is correspondence No. 806B received on 11 October 2017 from Ms Joanna Murphy, chief executive officer of ConnectIreland. The correspondence, which relates to the meeting with the IDA on 5 October 2017, states that comments made by Mr...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: Absolutely. The committee asked for that information from the IDA in public at the last meeting, but the response has not come back yet.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: We all know that ConnectIreland has contacted various Members of the Oireachtas and has had meetings with many people. As a first step we should get a response from the IDA and then take it from there. I am not long-fingering this. That company has made its case to quite a number of people in the House. We will come back to it once we get a response from the IDA.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: This item of correspondence from ConnectIreland has to be teased out fully, and it will be. This is the first step. We will get a response from the IDA and take it from there. I should have said that the Road Safety Authority item mentioned earlier was reference No. 825B. I made a mistake there. Correspondence item No. 823B dated 18 October from Mr. Tadhg Daly, CEO of Nursing Homes...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: It is the main item of discussion in correspondence, and I want to get the other things out of the way. That is all I am doing at the moment. The next item is No. 808C,correspondence dated 13 October 2017 from Alan Kelly with a list of questions to be forwarded to Cork Institute of Technology. Can we note that? The letter has been issued by the secretariat. As a general point, we often...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: The questions that have been submitted have been sent out. Members should understand that it is in all of our interests to know what questions are being asked in our name. The next items of correspondence are Nos. 809C(i) and (ii), from an individual to the Taoiseach in respect of the issue of teachers not being State employees despite being covered by public sector pay deals. We have...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: The 2015 accounts will be completed-----

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: The 2016-----

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: What of the 2017 accounts? When is the ETB's year end?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: So the Comptroller and Auditor General will not see those until next year.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: What about the 2014 accounts?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: Have we noted them?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: We will acknowledge this letter and tell the ETB that we expect the 2017 financial statements to be completed within six months of year end, which is the normal procedure. Is that agreed? Agreed. Next is No. 812C, dated 13 October, from the general secretary of Education and Training Boards Ireland, ETBI. He has also spoken to the clerk by phone. The general secretary points out that...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: Now there is an investigation.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: That is right. It is an item on our work programme, but it does not have to be done immediately. I am asking whether members have any particular ETB in mind. At the beginning of the month, we received a note from the Comptroller and Auditor General to the effect that there were outstanding issues in respect of the Kildare and Wicklow ETB. As the Deputy mentioned, there is an...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: So the 2013-14 audit is included with the 2015 audit.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: I am not fixed to this, but I will suggest the City of Dublin ETB, given its sheer size. It would be an obvious one, seeing as how it is the largest by a mile. I have no particular issue with it, but it would be strange not to invite it to attend. It is the most prominent ETB, so inviting it to attend would almost be automatic.
