Chapter 7 - Management of Fixed Charge Notice System (23 Jan 2014) John Deasy: This figure is very low. I will start with that again. I must press the Commissioner on this. This is fairly basic stuff. There are a lot of reports, including Comptroller and Auditor General reports but in some cases there has been no movement whatsoever with regard to changing the law and putting into place the procedures and systems to actually improve the system. In some cases it has...

Chapter 7 - Management of Fixed Charge Notice System (23 Jan 2014) John Deasy: I will move on to statute-barred offences and, again, I go back to 2003. At the time 5,500 cases were flagged as being statute-barred in a particular period. In 4,561 of these no reason was stated in the computer file. The Accounting Officer at the time told the Comptroller and Auditor General that the reason for the high number of statute-barred offences was due to a backlog of offences...

The Garda Inspectorate is also looking into these matters as they relate to fixed charge notices and we have a report from the Garda professional standards unit dating from April. When one looks through...
- Local Government Reform Bill 2013: From the Seanad (Resumed) (22 Jan 2014)
John Deasy: Deputy Dowds and I expected our amendment to be ruled out of order because it put a financial charge on the State. I thank the Minister and his officials for dealing with our amendment and the variation that has resulted from the amendment we tabled. The reason we tabled an amendment was very simple. We both had spoken to local government officials who were being placed in an invidious...
- Local Government Reform Bill 2013: From the Seanad (22 Jan 2014)
John Deasy: I would echo what Deputy Cowen has said. When this legislation was first published, many people got a bit of a fright. Having spoken to the officials since then, I understand the logic of this and Waterford serves as a very good example. I spoke to a senior official in Waterford city who made the case to me that the authority needed to apply sanctions in some cases because people were...

- Local Government Reform Bill 2013: From the Seanad (22 Jan 2014)
John Deasy: I must agree with Deputy Barry Cowen on the system being archaic; it is and the Government acknowledges this. On three or four occasions friends of mine went out of business when competing against a business operating over the Internet. The latter type of business is run from the home and pays no rates. On a couple of occasions my friends said to me that the next time they went into...
- Local Government Reform Bill 2013: From the Seanad (22 Jan 2014)
John Deasy: This is probably the third time I have raised this issue with the Minister over the past year. Seanad amendment No. 14 deals with allowing the adjustment period to be extended beyond ten years and Seanad amendment No. 15 allows the rating authority to determine an increase in the annual rate of valuation. With regard to what we have spoken about over the past year, the Minister consistently...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (16 Jan 2014) John Deasy: I have an issue regarding the last session. Mr. Cregan, who is the HSE-appointed interim administrator at the Central Remedial Clinic, CRC, should be invited before the committee. He is the person on point and central to the inquiry into the accounts of the CRC. If we are to ask board members to appear before this committee, he should be included, as the work he has done over the past few...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (16 Jan 2014) John Deasy: I do not and it is a matter of how we want to structure this. There is a two-page letter from this man which has some pretty amazing allegations. They need to be teased out. We also need to ask him about other documentation. It is fair to say the justification for Mr. Kiely's extraordinary lump sum was based on a false premise and the accounts were not recorded honestly. I am not...
