- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Our Public Service 2020: Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (13 Feb 2018)
Kieran O'Donnell: Perhaps I should already know this but, in the context of developing people in organisations, is there any arrangement whereby individuals in the public sector can be seconded to the private sector and vice versain order that synergies might be created? I come from the pure private sector, as does the Chairman, and I was self-employed for many years. Very few of our peers have gone into...

Kieran O'Donnell: The issue of duplication of services between bodies and Departments comes up with the public all the time. I do not know if it is a myth or reality but it is probably somewhere between the two. Has duplication within Departments been factored into the framework?
- Seanad: Order of Business (8 Feb 2018)
Kieran O'Donnell: I join with colleagues in remarking on the bus crash that took place in Connolly's Cross between Caherconlish and Herbertstown yesterday. I compliment the staff in University Hospital Limerick and those in the school for getting the emergency incident team up and running. I compliment the staff of Bus Éireann for their reaction as well as those in the ambulance and emergency services....

- Seanad: Order of Business (7 Feb 2018)
Kieran O'Donnell: I wish to raise a matter which has been touched on this morning, namely, a school bus crash between Caherconlish and Hospital. I have spoken to some of the parents of those children. Thankfully, there are no major injuries. Many of the schoolchildren are at the emergency department in University Hospital Limerick. The most important point is that there does not appear to be any fatalities...
- Seanad: Order of Business (7 Feb 2018)
Kieran O'Donnell: My main concern today is for the students who were on the bus. I expect an investigation will be carried out by Bus Éireann and An Garda Síochána. There are three elements to note. First, there are no fatalities. That is important. Second, we must find out what happened and ensure the safety of the transportation of schoolchildren. The children in question were travelling...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Permanent TSB (6 Feb 2018)
Kieran O'Donnell: I have two quick questions for Mr. Masding. I wish to follow the line of questioning by my colleagues, Deputies Michael McGrath and Pearse Doherty, on the independent review mechanism. A total of 31 people lost their homes. We now believe only seven of the figure of 40 involved repossessions. The question is how many of the 31 who lost their homes did not avail of the independent review...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Permanent TSB (6 Feb 2018)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Tracker Mortgages: Permanent TSB (6 Feb 2018)
Kieran O'Donnell: Let us keep it simple. A total of 40 customers availed of the independent review mechanism, of whom seven had lost their homes. That meant that 33 did not lose their homes. Of the 31 customers who had lost their homes, seven availed of the independent review mechanism. That left a balance of 24 victims. Have settlements specifically been made with them? Have they received redress and...
