Special Report No. 80 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Administration of National Health and Local Authority Levy Fund (20 Jun 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: Following on from that, I revert to the Grant Thornton report. It cost €76,000 and was paid for by SIPTU, the cost of which obviously would come out of its ordinary members' contributions. If that cost €200 per hour, which would be a relatively high charge, by my estimation that is approximately three months' work, which is a considerable amount of work on a report. I cannot...

Special Report No. 80 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Administration of National Health and Local Authority Levy Fund (20 Jun 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: The point I am making is the organisation appears to have been set up with no legal basis or standing. I would have thought that normally, when SIPTU sets up such levy funds, I assume within that it sets up a formal board of trustees or whatever to run those funds.

Special Report No. 80 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Administration of National Health and Local Authority Levy Fund (20 Jun 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: Therefore, on that basis, how can Mr. Merrigan and Mr. Kelly - the former in particular - stand behind stating they are entitled as trustees? Is Mr. Merrigan actually a trustee at all? He appears to be going behind the structure that applies within the normal levy funds within the union system, which is set up by the branch members under standing orders as set down by the union. However,...

Special Report No. 80 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Administration of National Health and Local Authority Levy Fund (20 Jun 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: If that is the case, then Mr. O'Flynn should explain the reason SIPTU did not take ownership and possession of the Grant Thornton report. To be honest with Mr. O'Flynn, it is as though we are in a play that resembles Hamlet without the prince with regard to Mr. Merrigan. It is as though participants in this meeting are in the play "Hamlet" without actually having sight of 'Hamlet' the...

Special Report No. 80 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Administration of National Health and Local Authority Levy Fund (20 Jun 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: Then what has happened in this regard does a disservice to the unions, because I believe SIPTU does great work, as well as with regard to how taxpayers' money is spent. Moreover, there still is a vacuum here in respect of unanswered questions. We did not have the critical part of the report, which is the Grant Thornton report, or the main key players involved, including Mr. Merrigan in...

Special Report No. 80 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Administration of National Health and Local Authority Levy Fund (20 Jun 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: I welcome Mr. O'Flynn. I have a couple of questions. I do not want to get bogged down in detail but, effectively, €3 million of taxpayers' money went into a hole, with no accountability. No one seems to know anything about it bar, from what I can see, Mr. Merrigan. My question is on the set-up of the SIPTU national health and local authority levy fund. Was that part of social...
