Kieran O'Donnell: I have two further brief questions. The Chairman made reference regarding the freedom of information request on travel that he sent an e-mail on 29 August 2007 to the assistant secretary in the Department Enterprise, Trade and Employment and it was copied to various officials in the Department up as far as the Secretary General. Does the Chairman stand over the points he made in that letter...

This must be done now in order to ensure these issues do not deflect from the integrity and importance of the work the committee is mandated to do. That is the key issue for us as members of the...

- 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: 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...
