- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (1 Feb 2018)
Alan Kelly: I welcome the fact that we will be spending a day on PPPs. It is necessary and timely. Those two areas specifically are the most important in that regard. Can we reverse into the whole issue of national procurement guidelines, tendering and so on in some way? It is a topic which keeps surfacing but which we never delve into. There are issues here in respect of costs to the taxpayer. I...

Alan Kelly: Absolutely.

Alan Kelly: We need to. Perhaps it is a half-day job rather than a full-day job. The second thing I will mention, so that it can be put on the schedule for some time in late March or early April, is that we must come back to the issue of the IT contracts in an Garda Síochána. Some of the information which has come out is completely contrary to the evidence which we were given in this...

Vote 18 - National Shared Services Office (1 Feb 2018) Alan Kelly: I welcome the witnesses. I think it is their first time here. From a general point of view, it is a first for us too. I have a number of questions. In Ms Murphy-Fagan's contribution, she said that the organisation and its process is pretty new. She said a number of lessons have been learned but did not outline what they are. What are they, in order of priority?

Vote 18 - National Shared Services Office (1 Feb 2018) Alan Kelly: In relation to the overpayments, in 2014 there were 1,374 cases of overpayments involving €2.35 million. Two years later, overpayments amounted to €4.6 million. Ms Murphy-Fagan stated overpayments will reduce in 2018 but they have the opposite trajectory. Given such a trajectory, why is Ms Murphy-Fagan confident that she will be able to turn the ship around? What has...

Vote 18 - National Shared Services Office (1 Feb 2018) Alan Kelly: If, hypothetically, they were reducing my wages by €1,000, what if I said that there was an agreement with the manager in relation to a top payment or whatever? There is a dispute and the employee is not backing down because he or she believes that local management have not honoured something. What happens? Where does the call come?

Vote 18 - National Shared Services Office (1 Feb 2018) Alan Kelly: I know. Ultimately, there has to be a call made here somewhere. There is legislation in relation to how one can deduct somebody's wages. One cannot actually just do it. What happens?

Vote 18 - National Shared Services Office (1 Feb 2018) Alan Kelly: Under the Payment of Wages Acts, one cannot make a deduction. Obviously, there are legal issues here. Ultimately, shared services will have to make the deduction. If local management tells shared services to make the deduction, is that all shared services needs?

Vote 18 - National Shared Services Office (1 Feb 2018) Alan Kelly: I need to move on because there are a number of other questions I need to get through. There seems to be an issue with legacy payment and, I think, Ms Murphy-Fagan will acknowledge, some confusion. The CSO and the PRA have shown that up. What process is in place to deal with the issue of legacy recoupment because it seems to be a significant issue? There is confusion over who is doing what.
