- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 77 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Dublin Docklands Development Authority: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Dec 2013)
Gerald Nash: Mr. Maloney is an experienced public servant, having worked in the Defence Forces and spent a considerable number of years in the local authority structure within Dublin City Council. I am somewhat surprised that he was not as familiar as he might have been with the structure in the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and how it operated, given that he was a...

Gerald Nash: I did not mean it to be disparaging in any way.
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 77 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Dublin Docklands Development Authority: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Dec 2013)
Gerald Nash: I say that genuinely.

Gerald Nash: Mr. Maloney has mentioned that initial arrangements for bank backing were expected to be with Bank of Scotland. Is that not correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report No. 77 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Dublin Docklands Development Authority: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Dec 2013)
Gerald Nash: Very suddenly a decision seemed to have been arrived at to deal with Anglo Irish Bank. Former senior Anglo Irish Bank people were synonymous with the Dublin Docklands Development Board. Based on board minutes when these decisions were taken to seek funding from financial institutions, the interest moved from Royal Bank of Scotland to Anglo Irish Bank and I believe Bank of Ireland also. Is...

Gerald Nash: That bank also happened to have a very senior official on the board.

Gerald Nash: It has been stated on several occasions at this committee that there was a view, expressed I think by Mr. Bradshaw, Ms Moylan, if my memory is correct, and others, that there was no conflict of interest. It may be the case that the letter of the law in terms of the code of conduct for directors had been complied with, but I do not share the view that the spirit of the code of conduct had...
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Gerald Nash: Is Mr. Nugent paid for that role?
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Gerald Nash: Can Mr. Nugent clarify the exact role of Ms Hurley in the organisation? Without wishing to personalise this, can he give me some sense of what her salary was and whether she was in receipt of a top-up payment or whether she was exclusively receiving the salary as described by the HSE?
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Gerald Nash: So Mr. Nugent is telling me that very few lessons, if any, have been learned. He has appointed somebody who, from a previous role, is in receipt of a top-up salary, and let us call that what it is. Now that individual will be responsible for the day-to-day operations on a global scale of the CRC, and yet she is still in receipt of her top-up payments, so nothing has been learned. This is a...
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Gerald Nash: That is exactly what it is.
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Gerald Nash: Ms Hurley's salary, according to the HSE scale, would be €79,000. However, as manager of client services, as described here, she would receive an additional €32,357 from CRC funded payments. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Gerald Nash: Could it be argued that she is moving to a new role and the commitment was made previously by Mr. Nugent to the HSE that any new role-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Gerald Nash: We could argue that she is enjoying a new position as director of operations, which is what it is described in the media. Therefore, it would be timely and appropriate to review her salary and take that down to the HSE level. I would appreciate the HSE's view on this.

Gerald Nash: How does Mr. Nugent intend to advertise the post when it arises?

Gerald Nash: Mr. Kiely has outlined his pension arrangements to a degree. Was he given a lump sum payment when he stepped down from the organisation?
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Gerald Nash: Can he clarify for the record what that lump sum was and how it was calculated?
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Gerald Nash: Did that involve cognisance being taken of the HSE portion of the salary and the topped up portion?
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Gerald Nash: Okay. What was the sum again?

Gerald Nash: What is Mr. Kiely's pension worth again?
