- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Benefacts Project: Discussion (13 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: I agree with Ms Quinn that there is a need for this service. The issue is that, as guardians of the taxpayer, the members of this committee cannot determine this because there is nothing to measure against.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Benefacts Project: Discussion (13 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: I refer to the processes by which Benefacts and its board were set up and by which individuals were picked for jobs. From a transparency point of view, if, in three years, another company attempts to compete, we will not have oversight of the processes. Ms Quinn referred to the projects advisory group, PAG. Who is the chair of that group?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Benefacts Project: Discussion (13 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: Just for transparency, who are those two people?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Benefacts Project: Discussion (13 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: When did Mr. Conlon take over?
- Written Answers — Department of Justice and Equality: Public Sector Pensions (13 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: 262. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if he will address a matter (details supplied) regarding the effect of an allowance on payments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7039/18]
- Other Questions: Freedom of Information (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: That is why I asked it as an oral question. Beaumont Hospital stands out. I know people who have asked numerous questions. I have put in freedom of information requests and the information has not been published or sent out and there are contradictions. The hospital, as other hospitals, is supposed to routinely publish its key performance indicators, KPIs. It does not do so. Its annual...
- Other Questions: Freedom of Information (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: So do I.
- Other Questions: Freedom of Information (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: 10. To ask the Minister for Health the status of the work being carried out at Beaumont Hospital in respect of publishing a freedom of information disclosure log, as per the Freedom of Information Act 2014, on the hospital's website; if this process will be expedited; the timeframe for completion; if he will direct the hospital to publish as much information as possible in an open and...
- Other Questions: Freedom of Information (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: This is a very specific question. It asks the Minister the status of the work being carried out at Beaumont Hospital in respect of publishing a freedom of information disclosure log, as per the Freedom of Information Act 2014, on the hospital's website; if this process will be expedited; the timeframe for completion; if he will direct the hospital to publish as much information as possible...
- Other Questions: Freedom of Information (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: I clearly asked the question for a reason. The hospital is running afoul of the Act. It is not meeting the requirements of the 2014 Act, which allowed six months for implementation, and it is now 2018. What is it hiding? There is no disclosures log on the website and there is a link to nothing. I know a number of freedom of information requests and other requests for information have...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: Chairman-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: I compliment the Chairman on a very good piece of work because we were getting a bigger picture seeing the overall pie. To try to fill out the pie even more, where does this leave us as regards Haddington Road agreement back payments? Are they included or not included in this figure? Do they have to be included on top of this across the board? Where are we in that regard?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: I know that, but-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: -----is the calculation included?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: Surely the changes they would have come across would have had a domino effect in regard to the level of pay involved?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: That is my point. The calculations across the board in many cases could be wrong because they are based on the-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: -----premise of a salary figure that has changed.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: Yes. We have thrashed it out and that is why I want to reach to some conclusion. The witnesses who appeared before us last week were very clear on the job they have to do, how long they have to do it and what organisations it covers. I do not think that is an issue at all. The figures we are discussing across the board are disproportionate in light of the Haddington Road agreement, which...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: That is probably the best thing to do.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: Can we get some clarity on that? This issue was raised here previously and in the Dáil. I raised it by means of parliamentary questions a long time ago. It was raised at this committee; it was raised by Deputy MacSharry more than by me. We need to get clarity on this. Given what we now know, somewhere here there is an issue with the term and length of these contracts and the...
