Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: I acknowledge that. The response notes that the concern was raised in consideration of correspondence on the Irish Prison Service, IPS. Have we since received that information? The correspondence states that a note regarding the IPS would shortly be submitted. Can we ask the Department for its definition of "shortly" because that commitment was made two months ago?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: We should tell the Department that it is acting the maggot. To me, "shortly" means a week, possibly two.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: Two months ago. The committee has a date in its diary regarding a whistleblower in connection with the Irish Prison Service, as the Chairman and I are well aware. I hope there is no overlap between those issues. The correspondence also states that material in respect of a request by the committee on 3 July for information regarding the operation of CCTV by local authorities would be...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: Is it a letter providing information or an explanation?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: We will come to it. I hope it is comprehensive, given that the request was made three months ago.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: Is it comprehensive? I cannot remember the detail of the request because it was made so long ago.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: I ask the Chairman to put it on the screen. We might as well deal with it now as the matters are connected.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: I now know why I did not remember it.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: On what date was that sent?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: This matter has been going on since 3 July. Is the Department hoping the Government will collapse and the committee will fall away? That correspondence issued three months after our basic request for information regarding CCTV. I have significant experience of this issue because I allocated funding for it when I was Minister. Three months after the request was made, the Department has not...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: I thank the Chair. The Department is acting the maggot.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: It is unacceptable for the Department to take so long to respond on these two issues.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: We should note that the Department in question is the Department of Justice and Equality. In the light of previous replies on other issues in that Department over the past year, it needs to up its game very quickly under its new Secretary General.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: We are going to have to hold that over. There is nearly a meeting in that correspondence alone.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: There are an awful lot of issues there.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: CIT is the gift that keeps on giving. The president, Dr. O'Connor, had an opportunity to break from the past but we are going around in circles and it has been going on for years. Nothing has been learnt. Last year, the committee said governance was poor and risk management non-existent, and now CIT is trying to tell us again that there is nothing to see here. I could talk on this for...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: The new president was here the last time CIT was before us and he has had an opportunity to do something about it. We gave him that opportunity but this is more of the same. It is like being wrapped up in the same clothes again. What are we going to do? We cannot keep going on like this.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: There are further issues relating to the famous party and to multiple whistleblowers.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: They were here this year and last year. There was a big gang of them.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: That is about accurate.
