Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Catherine Connolly: My sympathy goes out to the secretariat if the Chairman thinks this can be done within the week. I welcome the Thorn report. I have read it. I would like the direction put into context. A direction was issued by the Minister. Can someone put that into context? Is that the first direction or is it the first of many to different organisations? The report refers to effective governance...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Catherine Connolly: There is a serious direction from the Department, serious guidelines and serious things that must be done. Separately, there is more cost to the taxpayer as there will be more external help required. This is from a procedure that was absolutely rushed when the decision was made to amalgamate all of these ETBs.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Catherine Connolly: I have a difficulty where proceedings are in being with us having any role at all. It has been clarified that we do not and the question that has arisen is whether the Department has written without telling us. The Chairman is going to clarify that. When this was discussed following the issuing of the plenary summons, the Department accepted that the questions were justified. Certainly,...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Catherine Connolly: I recall that I raised this issue in connection with the redress board and the very detailed report of the Comptroller and Auditor General. We realised then that there were outstanding moneys and there were two different agreements. The 2002 agreement is legally enforceable. Some 3%, €4.21 million, of what was agreed under that has yet to be realised. The Ryan report was then...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Chairman. Some 71% of the 2009 agreement is still outstanding and 53% of the total. Finally we had Caranua, which took up a lot of our time. It has been closed to applications since the end of August. That was a dreadful experience for those coming forward. We have gone into the governance, or absence of governance, in detail.
