Vote 18 - National Shared Services Office (1 Feb 2018) Catherine Connolly: I accept that and there are always cases and we have to bring humanity into it. I am asking factual questions. Of the 388 cases identified at the end of 2016, how many have been dealt with? Has a recovery plan been put in place? There was no recoupment plan in place for that identified number.

Vote 18 - National Shared Services Office (1 Feb 2018) Catherine Connolly: That is important, not that I want to zone in, and I realise in the overall scheme it is a smaller fraction and I put it in context. However, at the same time, a lot of the changes that have been mentioned here today have I think sprung from the analysis by the Comptroller and Auditor General. That is to be welcomed and the office has taken on board all the recommendations. However, I...

Vote 18 - National Shared Services Office (1 Feb 2018) Catherine Connolly: Absolutely, that is just common sense. We do not need an IT system to tell us all that. There has to be a value before it can be recouped. The weakness identified was the IT system as I understand it - the Chairman is shaking his head. I will just put my question. It showed a snapshot in time as opposed to the history. For example, cases were closed and nobody knew if the repayments...

Vote 18 - National Shared Services Office (1 Feb 2018) Catherine Connolly: I asked too many questions together and I apologise. On the cases that were closed - I am reading from the Comptroller and Auditor General's report on page 148 - in 2016, 4,419 overpayment cases with a value of €4.4 million were closed. However, due to the limitations on the information available, the examination cannot quantify how much of this amount had been recovered at the year end.
