Vote 26 - Education and Skills (23 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: Does the Department understand how utterly confusing this is from the point of view of a parent with a child with some special need? The parent is told NEPS has a role relating to one aspect and special education has a role in another. The Department must appreciate that it makes life very complicated for stressed parents, and they are all stressed when they have to deal with these issues....

Vote 26 - Education and Skills (23 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: I apologise to Deputy Connolly but I will return to her. What about parents who were unable to get it through the one or two that were provided to the schools? Parents who could afford to spend the €500, €600 or €700 were able to get a NEPS assessment in the private sector and return to the school and it was accepted. That was fine for those who could afford it, but...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 26 - Education and Skills (23 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: I will address the Accounting Officer on that point. In section 6.5 on page 39 of the appropriation account, he deals with, under the redress scheme, the issue of the contingent liability. Many payments were made up to the end of 2015. There are still some outstanding and categorised as a contingent liability. My question relates to amounts that are expected to be paid by the institutions...

Vote 26 - Education and Skills (23 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: In other words, the Department is telling us that the amounts not yet paid by the religious institutions are not even factored into or included or recorded in its accounts as amounts to be received at any stage.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 26 - Education and Skills (23 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: That is fine. If money is due, it is an asset. The Department has made a decision that this money is not due because if it came to the conclusion that it was due, it would be recorded as an asset. The Department has come to the conclusion it is not due and, therefore, it is not an asset. It might be a contingent asset; therefore it will not be recorded. Who arrived at the decision that...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 26 - Education and Skills (23 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: The Department has figures for outstanding amounts that are due to it and recorded as an asset. I am not talking about this being a contingent asset. Does the Department not consider the amount that is due to be paid by the institutions as an amount actually due? If it believes it is due and has to provide that it might not get it all, we are into a different question. However, the...
