Marc MacSharry: I think we should invite NUI Galway, if that is possible. It is involved in taking over what was the only NUI college north of the Dublin-Galway line, namely, St. Angela's College. That takeover will have cost implications and it would be useful to have a discussion about that.

Marc MacSharry: I am sure Deputy Connolly is more aware of this than anybody. It came to my notice there was a transaction in 2007 with Galway City Council acquiring land, it would appear, without appropriate valuations and at a very substantial premium above market value at the time, as well as a number of other anomalies. I propose to speak to the clerk privately and refine the specific points I would...

Marc MacSharry: I would like to liaise with the clerk and perhaps his experience will advise us how best to handle it. The committee may decide whether to raise it at that meeting or a future meeting with the Department.

Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service (2 Feb 2017) Marc MacSharry: I welcome the witnesses and thank them for appearing before the committee. Will Mr. Waters outline from where the envisaged €31 million in savings would have arisen? I note that when an independent body determined a compensation payment regime for officers, a cumulative €8 million was realised in savings between 2005 and 2012, as opposed to savings of €31 million per year.

Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service (2 Feb 2017) Marc MacSharry: I understand as Mr. Donnellan has explained it. That is perfect. Notwithstanding the lump sum of €14,000 per officer and an allowance of 8% can we look forward in future accounts to an annual saving in the region of €19 million?

Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service (2 Feb 2017) Marc MacSharry: The Comptroller and Auditor General mentioned the annualised hours situation there and I understand that people could sign up to work three different bands, up to 360 hours. I guess that the entire prison service opted for 360. Did they?

Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service (2 Feb 2017) Marc MacSharry: I understand. For clarity for people watching and for the record, under the annualised hours system, if one signs up for 360 hours, one gets paid for 360 hours. If one happens to be in Arbour Hill Prison, for argument's sake, and 360 hours were not available but 220 were available, one would work for the 220 but be paid for 360. Is that correct?

Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service (2 Feb 2017) Marc MacSharry: There is obviously a lack of flexibility if there is capacity at one prison to transfer to one of the busier centres. What has been done to try to address that? Have there been negotiations with the unions? Has it been a topic for discussion?
