Public Accounts Committee: Dublin Institute of Technology and Cork Institute of Technology: Financial Statements (22 Jun 2017)

Alan Kelly: Will he provide us with the names, reasoning and amounts paid to any staff member who retired from the organisation during his time and who was then rehired as a consultant? This seems to be an ongoing issue. There are retirement parties, people leave and the following Monday, they walk back in as consultants. To be fair, Dr. Murphy can provide details of instances where the total payments...

Public Accounts Committee: Dublin Institute of Technology and Cork Institute of Technology: Financial Statements (22 Jun 2017)

Alan Kelly: That is Dr. Love's opinion and he is entitled to it, but my opinion is that this failed. No college should be writing its own terms of reference when it is, effectively, investigating itself. The HEA is going to have to do it all over again.

The delay in the commencement of this meeting related to a number of documents that the committee received late last night and needed time to go through. One of those documents from the Commissioner refers to the fact that on Friday last the internal auditor, Mr. Kelly, gave the witness a verbal report on the area of EU-funded training...

Alan Kelly: What is the differentiation between this issue being immediately referred under section 41(b) of the Garda Síochána Act and it taking a considerable amount of time for the report received by the Commissioner in July 2015 to be brought to the attention of the Department of Justice and Equality, with that eventually occurring, as the committee found out, through the Department being...

Alan Kelly: In summary, the distinction is that yesterday Ms O'Sullivan felt that because there were specific allegations of theft and fraud, it was worthwhile notifying the Department under section 41. However, in July 2015, a date which is disputed and which we will clarify later, Ms O'Sullivan did not feel that the broad issues relating to a multiplicity of concerns on the issue of the Garda College...

Alan Kelly: I find it incredible, I have to say. In the evidence on 4 May, Ms O'Sullivan said she did not feel there was any evidence of misappropriation of funds or fraud. Does she still believe that?
