- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Seán Fleming: Perhaps the Comptroller and Auditor General or someone else can explain that. Mr. Woods seems to know about it. How many other corporate bodies are out there? People would like to know what the shape of the vehicle we are talking about is. I do not think too many people would know what a corporate body established under the 1961 Act means. It is a technical answer. I wonder whether...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts

- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Seán Fleming: It does not have limited liability at all. If things go wrong, who does somebody sue at the end of the day? In the case of a company, there are shareholders or whatever. Who does somebody sue in the case of a body like this? Who is left carrying the can? We know it is the taxpayer, but does the board have any role before we get to the poor taxpayer? Do the members of the board have any...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Seán Fleming: I understand the practicalities. I am more interested in the legal form. If a receiver or a liquidator comes in, he or she can chase a company director for reckless or fraudulent trading. There are liabilities attaching to being a director in a company. Can the members of the board make a hames of this without being chased? Do they have the same level of legal responsibility to the board...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Seán Fleming: I have given three or four exact examples. I suspect I am not getting an answer. Perhaps Mr. Woods will be able to help here. Is there a lacuna here? Are people being put on a board without having any legal liability? It is not a limited company. If it was, the Director of Corporate Enforcement could come after the members of the board if they did something wrong. The Garda...

- Irish Water: Motion [Private Members] (21 Oct 2014)
Seán Fleming: Deputy Rabbitte was aware of the bonus culture. I did not ask him whether he signed up to the jocose bonus culture we now have, whereby even those who do not do their work or show up will receive a bonus. If he had inquired, which was his job, about what bonus regime was in place in Bord Gáis, he would have known what would follow into Irish Water. The Tánaiste, Deputy Joan...
- Irish Water: Motion [Private Members] (21 Oct 2014)
Seán Fleming: I thank my colleague, Deputy Cowen, for tabling this motion on behalf of the Fianna Fáil Party. We are discussing what is becoming the increasingly discredited super quango, Irish Water. The whole country is furious about this matter. The Government has a Dáil majority of well over 100 Members but I am looking around now and I count only four Members present on the other side....
