- Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Supplementary Estimates for the Public Services 2019
Vote 35 - Army Pensions (28 Nov 2019) Paul Kehoe: This is money well spent on volunteers. We channel it back into the local authorities. I am delighted the Civil Defence was able to buy new 4x4 vehicles this year in Wexford, Sligo, Donegal and Mullingar. There are many other examples across the country. We were also able to partially fund new infrastructure for Civil Defence throughout the country.

- Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Supplementary Estimates for the Public Services 2019
Vote 35 - Army Pensions (28 Nov 2019) Paul Kehoe: The Deputy should listen. An amount of €4.2 million or 0.9% of the vote was handed back to the Exchequer.

Vote 35 - Army Pensions (28 Nov 2019) Paul Kehoe: Income from the sale of assets in any Department goes back directly to the Exchequer, as do any other receipts. Deputy Chambers has been distorting the savings made under Votes 35 and 36 for political reasons.

Vote 35 - Army Pensions (28 Nov 2019) Paul Kehoe: I want to answer the Deputy's question very clearly. I will speak slowly and clearly so that he will understand. A net surrender is a technical term used regarding UN receipts and the sale of assets. The net surrender that Deputy Chambers spoke about, be it the sale of assets or something else, does not come under Vote 35 or Vote 36. That does not come in under Vote 35 or Vote 36. I know...

Vote 35 - Army Pensions (28 Nov 2019) Paul Kehoe: -----from Votes 35 and 36. I know it does not suit Deputy Chambers for political reasons. I was in his position for many years and tried to say the same things the Deputy is saying now. I am giving him the facts. Savings from Vote 35 and 36 were 0.09%. I only went over the years 2014 to 2018. I can go back further if the Deputy wants. There is no issue with that. I am giving the...

- Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Supplementary Estimates for the Public Services 2019
Vote 35 - Army Pensions (28 Nov 2019) Paul Kehoe: I am talking about appropriations-in-aid. The Chairman was a Minister for many years. He has ministerial experience and knows that the sale of assets and such does not go back into the Department but directly back to the Exchequer. That includes a net surrender, and to try to distort that in any way when I am giving the exact savings under Vote 35 and Vote 36-----
