Chapter 27 - Tax Audit Settlements (20 Feb 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: In both those cases there was no publication because penalties were not applied. Revenue produces an annual settlement list. Does that involve the amount that is assessed or is it the amount that they physically pay?

Chapter 27 - Tax Audit Settlements (20 Feb 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: May I interrupt while the officials are looking it up? The large cases division only accounted for 6% of overall interest payments. I am aware that the skills sets of staff in the large cases division have risen during the years. Are the skills sets of those dealing with larger companies different and distinct from the skills sets of those dealing with SMEs?

Kieran O'Donnell: Reports have been commissioned and appear to have been completed and we should be given the basis of those reports in terms of the CEO's salary.

Kieran O'Donnell: Did we not receive correspondence earlier this morning from St. Vincent's Hospital and the HSE on this? Will it not come up as an item of correspondence?
- Recent Flooding: Statements (Resumed) (19 Feb 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: This is a very important debate and I thank the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Hogan, for facilitating it. It has particular resonance for me as a Deputy for Limerick City, which had the worst floods ever recorded there. People are still recovering from them. Many areas are affected, including St. Mary’s Park, Lee Estate, Assumpta Park, Thomond...

Kieran O'Donnell: If the Minister does not anticipate that yet, what year is he talking about?

Kieran O'Donnell: One issue that comes up is promotion. Has the Minister looked at the structures with regard to how people are promoted within the public service? Some people at middle management level are exceptional and people at a higher level may, through no fault of their own, not be as good. The danger is that those people at the middle level get frustrated in their role. They report to people who...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Public Service Reform: Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (19 Feb 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: The point I am making is that with all the changes in management, there are cases where people need to be promoted. In some cases, people are passed over and they end up moving on. This is a terrible loss to the public institution they were in. This is a personal bugbear for me, because I have seen it happen too many times. I have seen exceptional people whose creative ideas never see the...

Kieran O'Donnell: Is the Minister looking at this issue?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Public Service Reform: Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (19 Feb 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: My final point relates to the SME sector and procurement. The Department has a deadline of Q1 or Q2 of 2014 on this issue. When referring to procurement, the Minister suggested a company could charge two different prices and I have no issue with that. However, organisations throughout the country who might employ ten or 12 people and supply local businesses cannot bid for these large...
