Alan Kelly: I welcome the witnesses. I have a number of different questions. The officials all know because they were there, but for clarity Mr. Walsh was assistant secretary when I was Minister, though in a totally different area, to be fair. I commissioned the organisational review under Gregory Jones in 2016 because I believed it was necessary as it had never been done before. We had never had a...

Alan Kelly: I understand that but surely within the Department, there would have been over a period some suggestions to the Government that we have to deal with these issues. For instance, one request I have is that the officials give us the dates and minutes of any ministerial management advisory committee, MINMAC, meetings over the six years referenced in this review.

Alan Kelly: Yes. I thank Mr. Doyle. I am asking what happened in the years in between. Why was nothing done? That is basically the question.

Alan Kelly: Okay. From a time and efficiency point of view, the best way for us to deal with this is by looking at the breakdown of the actions requiring legislative change that fall within the Department's remit. Will Mr. Doyle provide for us, from MINMAC minutes, any references to any of those actions? Then we will see if any progress was being made on any of them. If they were being pursued,...

Alan Kelly: I do not want to go back through the questions on the legal fees but I ask for a piece of information. Can I get a breakdown in tabular form of the costs relating to each case the board has lost or conceded over the past five years? That is breakdown per case. On the other side of the tab, I would like to know who were the board members who made the final decision. In other words, I want...
