- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)
Seán Fleming: When the list of people who have made submissions is received, I will ask that it be immediately circulated to members of the committee. That is a simple question and could be answered in a moment, I suspect.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)
Seán Fleming: We will ask for it to be circulated today or tomorrow. Normally the names of the people who make submissions are up on the website somewhere. We are coming back to that issue because we said in private session the last day that we would bring in somebody who is a whistleblower to test the process of the public service and how it is actually dealing with those issues.

Seán Fleming: The Deputy is right. They say that they compiled the list of relevant stakeholders and contacted them directly by email about the review, including all Departments, prescribed bodies, local authorities and Oireachtas Members who were contacted on 25 August 2017.

It is a counterargument to the general thinking that it is all efficient and is reducing our CO2 emissions. The report contains useful information on the substation in County Laois. The ESB and EirGrid are...

Seán Fleming: Yes, exactly. That is going to the Commission for Energy Regulation, including the report it attached to that email to us. Nos. 1440C and 1441C were held over from the previous meeting. They relate to HSE circulars not circulated or implemented and HSE employees who did not make the criteria in the first round of the regularisation process of the Haddington Road agreement. We noted both...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)
Seán Fleming: Yes, and then we will also say we want an update on which public bodies do and do not have access. This issue could have arisen in other public bodies that are given money and get ready to use it and then find they have no statutory or data clearance to use it. The matter might not have been specific to this organisation, so we will try to get the fuller picture on it in the autumn. No....

Seán Fleming: Here are three examples of cyberfraud that we have spotted this year. That is an issue the Committee of Public Accounts certainly needs to come back to, because this is fraud targeting public expenditure, and represents a loss to the taxpayer.
