Kieran O'Donnell: I have one or two housekeeping issues. In 2014 what will be the process for people filing returns? Will it be the same process where Revenue writes to them and they file in the normal way?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (29 May 2013)

Kieran O'Donnell: Some older people who came to us got forms with incorrect addresses or whatever. They wrote to Revenue saying they wanted them changed. They panicked in the past couple of days when Revenue had not come back to them. Many of them have filed online. Can we take it that can be rectified? It is a concern. Some elderly people were waiting for the letter from Revenue and some may not have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (29 May 2013)

Kieran O'Donnell: I welcome Ms Feehily and her colleagues. Regarding the payment option figures she gave earlier, did Ms Feehily state that 46% paid using debit-credit cards, 15% paid by cheque-single debit authority, 27% opted for direct debit, 5% opted for voluntary deduction at source and 7% opted to pay through an external service provider such as An Post. Are those figures correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (29 May 2013)

Kieran O'Donnell: Am I correct that 61% of people will have paid upfront by the end of July, with the 46% who opted for direct debits to apply after 21 July and 15% who paid by cheque?

Kieran O'Donnell: How much money does Revenue expect to receive from the property tax by the end of July? Does Ms Feehily have a cash profile?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (29 May 2013)

Kieran O'Donnell: That would appear to be quite a high figure. It would not have been the expected figure.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (29 May 2013)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue (29 May 2013)

Kieran O'Donnell: Revenue anticipates that approximately 1.9 million or 2 million properties will be assessable. To date, 1.7 million properties have complied. Am I correct that 200,000 properties have not complied and half of them are not on the register? Some 100,000 are on the register but have not yet complied. The figure may change. What percentage of people paid over the past number of days?...

Fodder Crisis: Motion [Private Members] (7 May 2013)

Kieran O'Donnell: I am delighted to contribute to this debate. I commend the Minister on the progress he has made in dealing with this crisis. For me, it is about practical measures. In some cases individual farmers are under great strain, but it is working. The measure with the co-operatives was practical and quick. Farmers are working with it and are happy with its effectiveness. There has been growth...

Companies Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Apr 2013)

Kieran O'Donnell: I am delighted to contribute to the debate on this Bill, which is very welcome. My general view is that new legislation is not always needed. In many cases, the old legislation should be reviewed to see how it can be made fit for purpose and suitable for modern use. Much of the legislation that was introduced over many years is never used, or is not used properly. This Bill will...

Kieran O'Donnell: Has the €20 million the HSE expects to save from putting this process in place been factored into its budget or will it be a windfall if it arises in budgetary terms?

Kieran O'Donnell: So if one works back, there are another 50 days on top of that within the internal workings of the hospital. My point is that taxpayers' money is left unclaimed. The HSE works on a cash basis - a Vote basis. It strikes me that there is a fundamental, inherent problem in the billing system. With the consultant issue, some of the days are out of sync. The HSE is looking to reduce the days...
