Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: That makes sense. I thank Mr. Coleman for that clarification. Turning to the C and AG's report, one of the issues - this is also highlighted in the LDA's financial statements - is the reliance on the spreadsheet accounting system. On the basis of what Mr. Coleman said, we know that this is being addressed right now. The LDA was incorporated in March 2022. Obviously, there was an unfunded...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: What did it cost?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: I am just limited on time. I just need a cost please, if Mrs Henehan would not mind.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: I only have one minute remaining. On the pensions arrangements, for, relatively speaking, a fledging organisation, there seems to be quite an array of pension arrangements for staff. There are 83 in total. Will Mr. Coleman outline the rationale behind that and indicate why there is such variance between the pension arrangements in place for different staff?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: I thank Mr. Coleman very much for all that. I appreciate it.

Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Ukraine War (10 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: 27. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will report on Ireland’s partnership with Lithuania to provide for the construction of bomb shelters in schools in Ukraine; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40327/24]

Electricity Costs (Emergency Measures) Domestic Accounts Bill 2024: Second Stage (9 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: I welcome the opportunity to examine the Electricity Costs (Emergency Measures) Domestic Accounts Bill 2024. The climate action committee waived pre-legislative scrutiny of it, as it has done for other Bills, to ensure the credits land on time for householders and that the work behind the scenes can be done for householders to benefit. The €250 energy credit will be spread over...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick
Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City
(3 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: I welcome the witnesses. At the outset, I will say that we seldom have such a stark report and statement from the C and AG, but given the severity of the issues at stake here, the witnesses are back five months later to discuss these accounts. Speaking of accounts and echoing what the C and AG's opening statement discussed, what is the status of the 2022 and 2023 accounts today?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick
Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City
(3 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: Is there any particular reason for that apart from the obvious one of why the witnesses are here today?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick
Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City
(3 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: From the perspective of the committee and on this point, I would argue that within five months of today, the witnesses might be back before us to discuss matters when the Comptroller and Auditor General gets the report done on those accounts given what we are discussing at length here today and just last May. I think we will need to look at those accounts in more detail. Turning to the...

(3 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: Yes, please.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick
Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City
(3 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: I appreciate that and that is true. In terms of the reforms that have been done, therefore, and this may be a query for Professor Kilcommins to speak to, I know they are under way and the report from Deloitte is dealing with that aspect, if I am not mistaken. The report from Mazars, then, is dealing with the cultural aspect.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick
Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City
(3 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: What I am really looking for is a collective figure. Mr. Kelly was right when he said that five such disclosures would be extremely high in any organisation, I presume, and that is a warning sign in itself. Prior to the year previous, since before all the purchasing and UL turned into some kind of property mogul, that was the problem. All these disclosures were being made. Who was the...
