Seán Fleming: The €179 million owed by the 3,209 individuals equates to €55,781 each. I call on the officials to get after it and collect it as soon as they can. I thank Ms Stack for that. I knew the figures were large. It is great that we can get such information as efficiently as that. I thank the witnesses. We will now adjourn until 6 December, when we will meet officials from the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Seán Fleming: We are joined by the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. Seamus McCarthy, as a permanent witness to the committee. He is joined by Ruth Foley, deputy director of audit. We will have a private session in the afternoon to review a discussion document. I propose that we use a relatively short period to deal with correspondence and then proceed to our engagement with the HSE and the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Seán Fleming: This goes back to the report that we issued on 28 March. We recommended that there should be a Dáil debate on the projected terminal surplus of NAMA on the basis that NAMA is so unique that there are no EU rules on it. There is no requirement in EU rules to pay down Government debt. It is a domestic political decision. We cannot prevent the Government from having a view but we did...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Seán Fleming: It is a future issue. We included it in our report. Let us have a Dáil debate on it. That is as far as the committee can put it. We cannot decide policy.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Seán Fleming: That was our wording.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Seán Fleming: The committee is the first group saying we should have a Dáil debate.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Seán Fleming: We cannot determine national policy on this. This is the wording we put in our report six months ago. We are now saying we should discuss the wording. It does not make a particular indication on the future use of NAMA's potential surplus because we have no authority to do so. We are saying that what needs to happen, which has not happened in Irish public life to date, is a Dáil...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Seán Fleming: That is what we will achieve.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Seán Fleming: This is a motion. All we are calling for is a debate.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Seán Fleming: We do not know what that will be yet.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Seán Fleming: It will hardly be squeezed in in the next fortnight before Christmas. I expect this motion will be debated in early January. If the Government tables amendments, while it is going in as a Committee of Public Accounts document, it is a broader issue once it gets to the Dáil Chamber. We will have done our bit by initiating the debate. That is as far as we can take it. The outcome of...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Seán Fleming: Everybody knows that we will be coming back to the third level sector, whether it be the University of Limerick or the Higher Education Authority. It is not coming off our agenda, on which everybody is clear. We will keep it in our work programme and probably check on progress in January.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Seán Fleming: Some ETBs were doing so, while some were not. We made a recommendation and the Department has now written to all of the boards asking for it to happen in the future. We will do a check on it.
