- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)
Seán Fleming: We will chase up on it. My understanding is that in the correspondence relating to the report we published yesterday they indicated it could be 2019 before they have all the information in for 2018.

Seán Fleming: I think we might have it in the body of the report-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)
Seán Fleming: You can double check with the secretariat afterwards but my recollection is there was a mention that all the costs are not in yet, it would be 2019 before they will all be in and the review will commence arising from that. I was conscious of that going to the meeting yesterday. The project started in 2006 but it will be 2019 before we can see its total cost. I did not specifically refer to...

Seán Fleming: Galway is the European Capital of Culture 2020. We all remember when it came to Limerick some years ago. There was mayhem and people were resigning. That is not to compare them.

Seán Fleming: We need to write specifically to the Department arising from this discussion. In our report we did not have any reference to learning lessons in view of 2020-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)
Seán Fleming: Yes, but not in respect of 2020. We did not cover that aspect in our report so we will send a specific letter to the Department. Again, if there is a reply we will send it directly to the Deputy.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)
Seán Fleming: The next item is correspondence. There are three categories of correspondence and a number of items have been carried over from the last meeting. Members will have to bear with me because there is an amount of correspondence. We did not deal with quite as much on the last occasion and this is the last time we have an opportunity before we invite our witnesses in. No. 1478A is from Mr....
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)
Seán Fleming: Okay, that is fair comment. As Chairman, every Wednesday I receive a telephone call to confirm what the committee will discuss in the Thursday meeting and various journalists are able to read for me verbatim from the information circulated to committee members, some of which I have not even had an opportunity to read at that stage. There is a serial leaker in the committee, full stop. I do...

Seán Fleming: Okay, we will move on. It is just a point to be aware of.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)
Seán Fleming: Okay. It is a recurring issue and we can come back to it. The next correspondence is No. 1387 B, which is held over from the last meeting. It isfrom Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú, Secretary General, Department of Education and Skills, dated 12 June 2018 providing information requested by the committee at the meeting on 24 May 2018 regarding a protected disclosure to Cork Institute of...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)
Seán Fleming: Yes, the report is outstanding. The next item is No. 1397 B from Mr. Robert Watt, Secretary General, Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, providing information requested by the committee on guidance provided by the Department to public bodies on the management of protected disclosures. We dealt with this item in private session on Tuesday. I wish to formally note and publish it....

Seán Fleming: It is guaranteed to slow it down.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)
Seán Fleming: That is something we will bear in mind. The Taoiseach raised this exact issue yesterday on the slides for CervicalCheck and the question of why the examination had not yet commenced by the college in the UK. The college has raised the issue of data protection and consent from each person before the reviewers look at the slides. It may be that several thousand are gone and the reviewers...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)
Seán Fleming: Arising from the document and what the Taoiseach said yesterday, I suggest we write to the Taoiseach and outline these two issues on the Committee of Public Accounts agenda. We are now aware that this issue has arisen. These issues should have been addressed in the terms of reference. Everyone knew this was coming. Maybe people do not want to get around the existing legislative...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)
Seán Fleming: That is a valid point. As you said, Deputy Murphy, it is not specific to the Cooke commission. Correspondence No. 1435 B is from Mr. Niall Cody of the Revenue Commissioners. It provides information requested by the committee on the nursing homes support scheme. We will note and publish it. He has given details of loans extended and collecting money in cases outstanding. ...
