- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Dublin Docklands Development Authority
Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (6 Feb 2014) Gerald Nash: It is in reference to something mentioned earlier that is, Mr. Maloney's use of the company credit cards. Mr. Maloney is on record as stating that he would be happy to assist the committee in regard to expenditure on those credit cards. I am open to correction, if my memory does not serve me well on this. I seem to recall Mr. Maloney said that if the committee had information in regard to...

Dublin Docklands Development Authority
Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (6 Feb 2014) Gerald Nash: I would imagine if Mr. Maloney is interested in addressing the concerns expressed here around the use of a company credit card that his first port of call would be to his previous employer, not to the committee. He has not been in touch.

Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (6 Feb 2014) Gerald Nash: Notwithstanding the fact that in 2010, the Comptroller and Auditor General pointed out some deficiencies from the authority's point of view in respect of its tendering processes, as far as I can recall, the authority then decided simply to proceed to roll over these contracts. However, I suppose the key point is the authority had the sanction of the Department of Public Expenditure and...

Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (6 Feb 2014) Gerald Nash: That is right. It is most unusual. It might be useful, were the committee to obtain the minutes of board meetings that considered this issue in the interest of completeness, as well as correspondence between the authority and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. There are a couple of issues on which I seek clarification. It would be useful, were those items to be secured.

Dublin Docklands Development Authority
Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (6 Feb 2014) Gerald Nash: I wish to put a number of questions to the witnesses on the issue of staff recruitment. Clearly, a moratorium was introduced on staff recruitment in 2009 by the previous Government. I believe there was a reduction of six staff between that period and 2011 and that at the end of 2011, the headcount was 15. That number now has fallen to just two, a very small number indeed. However, it...

Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (6 Feb 2014) Gerald Nash: Sorry, it is on page 21, where it states, "I bring to your attention that a second contract was entered into with an existing staff member in October 2009 after the announcement of the Government moratorium". This was done by the former CEO. Was that Mr. Maloney?

Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (6 Feb 2014) Gerald Nash: I thank the witnesses for the comprehensive notes they have provided on the accounts, which are very helpful and allow us to come to a much quicker understanding of the financial position of the authority. I want to raise a number of points, the first of which relates to the pension liabilities. How many individuals are involved in terms of the organisation's pension liabilities into the...

Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (6 Feb 2014) Gerald Nash: In terms of the previous chief executive, what would be the value of Mr. Moloney's pension pot in the context of his work with the Dublin Docklands Development Authority, DDDA? Is Mr. Crawley in a position to-----

- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Dublin Docklands Development Authority
Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (6 Feb 2014) Gerald Nash: Given that it was always the case, and had been the stated position of the authority over the years, that pension obligations would be met from accumulated reserves from its development work, it is clear that was not possible given the economic tsunami that hit the organisation, a phrase Mr. Crawley used, although probably in a different context. Obviously, discussions opened with the...

Annual Report and Financial Statements 2012 (6 Feb 2014) Gerald Nash: The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform sanctioned that arrangement but it is actually the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government that will be responsible for the pension provisions. Is that not the case?
