Alan Kelly: Why is it doing that? That is abnormal.

Alan Kelly: I understand that. I have one other question. With regard to Tourism Ireland, which is an intriguing organisation, Ireland has been the only country in the world in which, a number of years ago, two national tourism bodies came together in a room to create one but ended up with three. At some point in the future we might examine the funding of Tourism Ireland and the ratio of funding....

Alan Kelly: I raised last week what Deputy Murphy mentioned. We have to conclude a piece of work on the opening of Garda stations and we said it would have its own module. Two weeks ago I asked for that to be listed on the work programme as a part of this. Could we please put it in?

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 99 - Public Sector Financial Reporting for 2015 (16 Nov 2017) Alan Kelly: I have a lot of questions I hope to get through. The Chairman, in fairness to him, has been consistent in his wish to examine this whole sector, and I can see exactly why from his opening question. However, the response from the Department's Accounting Officer was incredible and, indeed, scary. It was the most basic question the Secretary General could have been asked, and he should...

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 99 - Public Sector Financial Reporting for 2015 (16 Nov 2017) Alan Kelly: It was 15 years or so ago but I am putting it on the record for transparency purposes. The documentation we have indicates that the education and training boards have significant discretion in respect of the block grant they receive. Is the Department of Education and Skills happy to allow that sort of openness?

I do not expect Mr. Ó Foghlú to have a figure to hand - unlike the other figure which he should have been able to give but was not - but will he provide the committee with a break-down of the savings that have been made as a consequence of the establishment of the ETBs, at both a national level and also by ETB...

I submitted a parliamentary question on this issue and the answer was not great. I realise it cannot exactly be a case of apples with apples and oranges with oranges, but I am asking, in the context of the remit of the former vocational education committees and the broader remit of the ETBs, for a breakdown of the...
