Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) Seán Fleming: We had representatives from the NTA before the committee a few weeks ago and their reply to this issue was that this is the Department's card. They washed their hands of this query but Mr. McKeon is telling me the NTA is a link in the chain.

Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) Seán Fleming: Why would an operator not go to the NTA to find out when a card was used if that is who gives them the information? Why would the operator bypass the NTA and go back to the Department?

Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) Seán Fleming: I am delighted that Mr. McKeon, who is an Accounting Officer on this card issue, is confused. CIÉ was challenging my integrity because I did not understand this complicated process so I am delighted. The Comptroller and Auditor General misunderstood what had been said. The Accounting Officer of the Department who issues the card is confused. I am happy with that because it is a minefield.

The figure for CIÉ is historically a block grant. Some of the newer companies are probably fully automated. The NTA operates a system through which some of the operators work. Those...

Chapter 14 - Customer Service - Development of Income Support Application Forms (7 Nov 2019) Seán Fleming: What I am asking is totally reasonable from the point of view of the Department - a breakdown of payments to the different operators, how the system works, who is paid for actual travel, who is paid for estimated travel and who gets a block grant. This all started with a query about the public services card. We are coming at this information from the points of view of the use of the card...

Mr. McKeon mentioned that around 1% of all cases are appealed. I ask him to send a note on how many refusals are appealed. I presume that most people who apply for a payment and get that payment do not appeal. The only figure that is relevant in terms of judging the numbers that will appeal is the...
