Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 Dec 2016)

David Cullinane: Before we move on from correspondence, I would like to raise again today the issue of the section 38 and 39 organisations. I am a little uncomfortable that we have had only one hearing on the Console issue. An internal audit carried out by the HSE raised very serious process issues. Since then we have come across a number of other organisations where similar problems have arisen. There...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 Dec 2016)

David Cullinane: I agree. It is serious. The Comptroller and Auditor General said he is of the opinion that there may be improvements in terms of the 2014 and 2015 accounts. If that is the case, it would be good, but perhaps if it is not then it would merit us bringing the college before the committee.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 Dec 2016)

Public Accounts Committee: Policy on the Retention of Contemporaneous Notes in the Preparation of Board Minutes: National Asset Management Agency (14 Dec 2016)

David Cullinane: I welcome Mr. Daly and Mr. McDonagh again. I find the opening statement to be reasonable. I have no difficulty with the process of minute taking. It is reasonable that notes are taken and then transcribed into a draft set of minutes that is sent to Mr. Daly and board members. I also do not have a difficulty with the notes being discarded at some point as I think it is reasonable. I have...

Flood Prevention Measures: Motion [Private Members] (13 Dec 2016)

David Cullinane: I welcome the Fianna Fáil motion that has been tabled on the important issue of flooding. I am pleased that we have been given an opportunity to discuss this issue. I have some sympathy with Deputy Jim Daly's comments about Fianna Fáil's participation in government. When representatives of a party that has been in government for the best part of the past 50 years come to this...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (13 Dec 2016)

David Cullinane: I have a supplementary point to Mr. Coffey. Mr. Coffey stated in response to the question on the fiscal rules and whatever additional space might be there in 2018 that there is overall expenditure of €60 billion and there can be a reallocation within that expenditure that can deal with some of the pressures that we have. That is not a fair answer because much of the low-lying fruit...
