- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: The Deputy's point is substantially well made. The first round of speakers have put their questions. We will have some supplementary questions shortly, but I first want to ask about local sports grants. Perhaps the witnesses can give the committee a breakdown county by county of grants, between public bodies and the voluntary community sporting organisations. There was a time they would...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: There is a figure in the Comptroller and Auditor General's report for the national sports governing bodies, including the GAA, the IRFU and the FAI. Is the Olympic Council of Ireland part of that funding?

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: What of the funding for the Olympic Council of Ireland?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: Is Mr. Doyle, as the Accounting Officer who transferred that funding to Sport Ireland, satisfied that it all went to budget?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: Is there a service level agreement, SLA, between the Department and Sport Ireland regarding how the latter disburses its funds? Sport Ireland must have a service level agreement with the various bodies it funds.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: The question is very simple.

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: Sport Ireland gets funding of over €17 million per annum from the Department. As Accounting Officer, will he indicate if there was a service level agreement with that organisation in respect of the years we are examining, namely, 2015 or 2016?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: I find it alarming that a body to which the Department pays approximately €17 million can come before the committee but that nobody can say whether a service level agreement exists. Can any of Mr. Doyle's colleagues answer that? I would hate to think there is an answer in the system and it is just not getting out. I want to be fair to Mr. Doyle and give him an opportunity.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: So the answer is "Yes", there is a service level agreement with the appropriate body.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: That is the answer I was hoping for.

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: I have one final point concerning fixed-charge notices, penalty points, national vehicle and driver files and separate databases for drivers. There is a proposal for a new master licensing record, a third system to incorporate the other two. Can Mr. Doyle tell me about the system in place to ensure that penalty points and charges issued through his Department attach themselves to drivers...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: A simple question - what is the loss to the Exchequer of the penalty points, fixed-charge notices or charges that may arise in a court not being followed up to the drivers directly?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: Yes.

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: When will that master licence record system be fully operational?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: This is disturbing because Mr. Doyle comes in with his 2015 annual report, which refers to this project, yet here we are in 2017 and he says it could take two years. That is not a satisfactory arrangement in terms of road safety issues. I have to start at the beginning because Mr. Doyle has told me that he has not solved this problem at all. The problem today is as acute as it was before...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: We will come back to that but bear with me. We will park the fixed-charge notices - they are the fines - for a moment. Let us just talk about the penalty pints. If one pays, it is on the system. Can Mr. Doyle explain what then happens in court when a person has contested it and they receive additional penalty points? Is Mr. Doyle telling me that system has been knocked down?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (23 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: What system does Mr. Doyle have in place to ensure he gets that information? He said, "If the courts happen to send this, we might get it", but what system is in place to ensure the court does that and the Department can record them?
