Section 2 Report – Unauthorised Release of Funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer (19 Jan 2023) Brian Stanley: I will let the Deputy come in later. After the 25-year period, AHBs can set the rent themselves, bring in a private company to manage them and ignore the local authority as to allocations. They do not have to go on the basis of housing need. Some of these have never gone on such a basis. I will not say "never" but the practice has not been to consult or take nominations from the local...

Section 2 Report – Unauthorised Release of Funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer (19 Jan 2023) Brian Stanley: I will clarify that point. I said this at the start.

Section 2 Report – Unauthorised Release of Funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer (19 Jan 2023) Brian Stanley: The gap is as wide as the barn door. That is how wide the gap is. I accept most bodies will continue to work with the State, particularly if they continue to roll out projects, because they have to play ball with the Department but they could also tell the Department to get lost. They can tell everyone to get lost - the Committee of Public Accounts, Mr. Jordan, the Minister, the Taoiseach,...

That is what I call it. There is a challenge for everyone here. There is a challenge for us and a challenge for the witnesses. Mr. Baneham, you wanted to conclude.

I know there is a lot of questioning and scrutiny of the issues, and it is a challenge for the agency, the regulator, the Department and us as public representatives. I thank the witnesses and the staff from the agency and the regulatory body - we wish them well on this - and the Department of Housing, Local...

Brian Stanley: I thank Mr. McCarthy for that report. In regard to the Beaumont Hospital audit, obviously it is not just one issue. There is a range of issues there. As a committee we should correspond with it to find out what it has done to address the four issues. On the governance issue, does it have a permanent chair now? How soon will it have a permanent chair? On the failure of the board to...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Jan 2023)
Brian Stanley: We will request to know the steps that have been taken to safeguard and ensure that, from Beaumont Hospital's point of view, these matters are being addressed effectively and that measures are in place to ensure they are compliant. Does anybody want to raise any of the other financial statements?
