2020 Report on the Accounts of the Public Services of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 4 - Vote Accounting and Budget Management (19 May 2022) Cormac Devlin: Staying with Vote 11, section 2.3 deals with other debt balances. I assume that there are recuperable expenses. There are salaries, travel expenses, travel pass expenditure and other debit suspense items. What struck me was the difference between the 2019 and 2020 figure under recuperable travel pass expenditure. Was that primarily down to Covid-19 and to fewer staff claiming for that?

Chapter 4 - Vote Accounting and Budget Management (19 May 2022) Cormac Devlin: Again, staying with Vote 11, on page 14, there is the postal and telecommunications services from within the Department. There was astronomical outturn, when compared to the figure of 2020. The provision for 2020, I presume again was in relation to Covid-19, was €22,000 and yet the outturn was €14,000. I presume the annual running of that line figure is approximately...

2020 Report on the Accounts of the Public Services of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 4 - Vote Accounting and Budget Management (19 May 2022) Cormac Devlin: That explains that. Let us turn to the issue of the new office. I have a question on it. Some 30% of the OGCIO’s programme expenditure related to pay and that is understandable. Its next largest expenditure was on ICT services, which accounted for approximately 68% of overall expenditure. Is that an initial set-up cost and a once-off or is there an ongoing reliance on...

Chapter 4 - Vote Accounting and Budget Management (19 May 2022) Cormac Devlin: That explains that. I thank Ms O'Donohue for her response. Colleagues asked questions about pension payments. The witnesses answered some of those questions on superannuation, which is welcome. It was mentioned that there was a 3.9% increase in the number of pensions year on year. I presume that will increase further in the coming years. A colleague referred to pension numbers not...

I ask the witnesses to talk about that site and when it was evaluated vis-à-visthe Dunnes site coming back into play which, Ms Harney said, was in 2019. Was the Opera site being considered prior to that? How advanced was that and was there expenditure made against the Opera site?
