- Public Accounts Committee: Ordnance Survey Ireland Annual Accounts 2011 (17 Oct 2013)
John McGuinness: It was not that the position was no longer there, because Mr. Bray is CEO now. Why was the last CEO's contract terminated?

John McGuinness: Can Mr. Brady tell us now?
- Public Accounts Committee: Ordnance Survey Ireland Annual Accounts 2011 (17 Oct 2013)
John McGuinness: It does. That was a simple answer without having to extract it from Mr. Bray. Deputy Connaughton referred to the report that is the correspondence between OSi and the Department on the approval or not of the €10,000 payments. When OSi has concluded that, which I hope will be soon, it might make that information available to us.
- Public Accounts Committee: Ordnance Survey Ireland Annual Accounts 2011 (17 Oct 2013)
John McGuinness: Another question was not answered. Why was a board member who attended only one meeting paid in full? Presumably Mr. Collier knows the answer.
- Public Accounts Committee: Ordnance Survey Ireland Annual Accounts 2011 (17 Oct 2013)
John McGuinness: In what year did this payment take place?
- Public Accounts Committee: Ordnance Survey Ireland Annual Accounts 2011 (17 Oct 2013)

- Public Accounts Committee: Ordnance Survey Ireland Annual Accounts 2011 (17 Oct 2013)
John McGuinness: I find that incredible. OSi is a relatively small organisation and while it may have come through some difficulties regarding restructuring and having to deal with this contract and other issues, I find it incredible that the witnesses lack some of the answers and keep referring to the 2012 accounts. When dealing with the Public Accounts Committee in 2013, the witnesses should know the...

John McGuinness: Who was the chairman of the board?

- Public Accounts Committee: Ordnance Survey Ireland Annual Accounts 2011 (17 Oct 2013)
John McGuinness: It is in the 2012 accounts, is it? The witnesses were already asked about the €17,000 retirement and team-building account and referred to the fact that is was something to do with team building and retirement. Can they outline how much was spent under each heading within that €17,000?
- Public Accounts Committee: Ordnance Survey Ireland Annual Accounts 2011 (17 Oct 2013)
John McGuinness: When was that €17,000 spent?
- Public Accounts Committee: Ordnance Survey Ireland Annual Accounts 2011 (17 Oct 2013)
John McGuinness: We are examining those accounts today and it is not good enough for Mr. Bray to say he will come back to us. They are 2011 accounts. Mr. Collier is here, Ms Murphy is here to answer on staff issues and Mr. Bray should have the answer now. Surely the answer is in the accounts.

John McGuinness: Why not?
- Public Accounts Committee: Ordnance Survey Ireland Annual Accounts 2011 (17 Oct 2013)
John McGuinness: I know Mr. Collier will get back to me. Why is it not there? Will Mr. Collier give me the general breakdown of the headings under that €17,000. Mr. Bray said it was team building and retirement. Did he mean presentations for retirement?
- Public Accounts Committee: Ordnance Survey Ireland Annual Accounts 2011 (17 Oct 2013)
John McGuinness: How would he describe that fund? Was it for social events?
- Public Accounts Committee: Ordnance Survey Ireland Annual Accounts 2011 (17 Oct 2013)
John McGuinness: When these retirements took place, the people who retired received lump sums according to Mr. Bray's earlier comments.
- Public Accounts Committee: Ordnance Survey Ireland Annual Accounts 2011 (17 Oct 2013)
John McGuinness: So, they received lump sums and then the organisation made some sort of presentation to them in 2011.
