Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Feb 2014)

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Feb 2014)

John Deasy: The HSE is coming in next week. We can request in the meantime a progress report on compliance and non-compliance. It has been stated in the newspapers that for the most part everybody has been, is or will be compliant, apart from one organisation. It would be no harm to tell the HSE people that this may arise, because we have dealt with this again and again.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Feb 2014)

John Deasy: To clarify, the Comptroller and Auditor General looks at this because the funds come from the Central Fund. He examines the payments made from the Central Fund to political parties but to date, he has not identified any issues regarding those payments, as they relate to the legislation. Is that correct?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Feb 2014)

John Deasy: We must go back to the nub of the matter - the advice that the clerk to the committee has been given, which is worth repeating. I would say to Deputy Fleming that in my opinion, this is the Legislature and that is where we are. On occasion, legislation is formulated, in my opinion, after private evidence is given in committee. We would be constructing an impediment to any potential...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (13 Feb 2014)

John Deasy: I agree with Deputy Harris. The decision was taken, but it might be helpful if the clerk could expound on his comment regarding a fundamental change in Dáil committees. It has not been expounded on sufficiently. It needs to be. The clerk needs to explain to people watching this committee what the implications would be for every Dáil committee that sat in private session and the...

John Deasy: Yes.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Feb 2014)

John Deasy: Notwithstanding everything that Deputy Harris has said, I wish to raise an issue regarding this entire area and one which is slightly overdue. We need to exercise some caution as to how we do our business when it comes to these charitable organisations or organisations that are in the charities sector. I have been contacted, over the past couple of weeks, by a number of CEOs as well as by...

John Deasy: We have not made any decision to change procedure. Let us be clear in this regard, the committee has not made a decision on publishing the transcript. As such, there has not been any change to procedure and from what I have heard, such a change will not be entertained.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Feb 2014)

John Deasy: Deputy Harris made the key point and one worth repeating, namely, that Sergeant McCabe requested a private meeting. There is a little game being played here and we are in danger of taking Deputy Ross too seriously. This is less about transparency and the fullness of truth and more about getting on the six o'clock news. Every journalist in this city knows the content of the meeting that...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Feb 2014)

John Deasy: We should make a decision on the matter rather than referring it to the CPP. It was a private meeting and the committee agreed that it would be private. The clerk referred to legal advice received, which stated that publication of the transcript would constitute a fundamental change in the way the Oireachtas and its committees do their business. The reality is that there was not a great...
