2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Seán Fleming: We will write to the Department of Finance straight away for a full briefing and information on the whole tender process. It will be news to the public that Danske Bank will be taking over payments on behalf of all Government. With severe centralisation, there is a risk of something going wrong.

2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Seán Fleming: It is amazing. I wish to move on to aspects of the Vote. On page 24, it shows there was higher expenditure on direct provision allowance. Is that in the form of supplementary welfare payments through the community welfare office? I assume it is for asylum centres.

2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Seán Fleming: It states that the final outturn, of €4.8 million, was higher than the estimate by €1.1 million. There were higher average recipient numbers, at 2,620. I have checked this figure out and, at the end of last year, there were 5,096 people in direct provision. I know that it includes 801 families. Are they individuals or could a parent be claiming for a spouse?

2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Seán Fleming: Can Mr. McKeon send us a note on them? It should cover some 5,000 people. The figure went up because it included the higher rate of €36 per week, plus the Christmas bonus. That is fine. I did not know it was the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection that paid that directly. I am just making that point. The matter I want to deal with is on page 25, which is the...

2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Seán Fleming: That is fine. It is the old social economy programme. I have the answer and that is fine. I want to ask about page 7 of the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General. There is a paragraph on the irregularity of expenditure.

2017 Social Insurance Fund (29 Nov 2018) Seán Fleming: Yes, this is on the Vote. It is the Comptroller and Auditor General's own note. The note reads:Chapter 11 of my report on the accounts of the public services for 2017 relates to welfare payments in excess of entitlement included in the 2017 account for Vote 37. I consider the estimated level of irregular payment to be material. Does the Comptroller and Auditor have that statement in his...
