Chapter 13: Irish Blood Transfusion Service Pension Funding (8 Oct 2015) John McGuinness: No, I am right. The IBTS collected it for one purpose. It is bad enough to see the Government raiding moneys that were collected for road tax and sending them off to Irish Water.

Chapter 13: Irish Blood Transfusion Service Pension Funding (8 Oct 2015) John McGuinness: The IBTS has no right to discuss the issue. It collected the money. Mr. Kelly can correct me if I am wrong. The IBTS has collected the money and it has it in an account. I suggest it should pay it over to the Department unless the Department excuses it and says it does not have to pay. That is the question. Mr. Kelly is arguing that the IBTS wants to keep part of the money it has...

Chapter 13: Irish Blood Transfusion Service Pension Funding (8 Oct 2015) John McGuinness: If Mr. Kelly was a director of a private company, what form of action would the Department take against him and against the board?

Would the Department have the same consideration?

Chapter 13: Irish Blood Transfusion Service Pension Funding (8 Oct 2015) John McGuinness: It is pretty simple. They owe the Department the money and the Department has to get it back from them.
