Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach (7 Feb 2019) Seán Fleming: We would be worried if there was no mechanism in place. I understand that the Department cannot estimate the third party costs until some of the figures come in, but there are daily rates and legal costs. In advance of this afternoon's session, will the witness indicate who sets the daily rate or who agrees the hourly rate on behalf of the State? Is the Department involved in that?

Is it the Office of the Attorney General, the Office of the Chief State Solicitor or the State Claims Agency? Who clears or signs off on the rates?

Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach (7 Feb 2019) Seán Fleming: Mr. O'Malley might also give us the provisional estimate for each of the Departments for 2019. The Department obviously had the figures, even if they may not have been approved. I am asking for the most up-to-date figures. I accept the 2019 figure will be an estimate. At this stage, we can park this issue and consider it again when we receive that information.

Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach (7 Feb 2019) Seán Fleming: I am going to ask the Comptroller and Auditor General to help as we are on unusual ground. The payment of €318,000 is paid from the Central Fund and the person responsible for the Central Fund is the Secretary General of the Department of Finance. Am I correct so far?

Vote 1 - President's Establishment
Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach (7 Feb 2019) Seán Fleming: The payment out is under the functions of the Secretary General of the Department of Finance and not of Mr. Fraser. The Department of Finance will be here in a couple of weeks and is on notice that we will ask about this payment being made from the Central Fund, as other payments from the Central Fund get made. We can ask that Secretary General whether there is a mechanism for accounting...

Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach (7 Feb 2019) Seán Fleming: It is every Department. We have had the HSE give us its quarterly risk. It does a quarterly update and it is voluminous. The HSE is the biggest State body out there. Every Department has a risk register and all we are asking for is a copy of the most recent one. When we see that, we will see what is in it. It is probably subject to freedom of information, if it comes to that.
