Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Seán Fleming: Yes, but I will allow Deputy O'Connell to come in on other issues. On this issue, it is very important to read what is in front of us today, namely, the appropriation accounts for Vote 24, Department of Justice and Equality. The Comptroller and Auditor General in his report of 26 September 2017 on this matter heads the paragraph on page 7 as: "Non-effective Expenditure". The figure under...

That is what the Comptroller and Auditor General called it and it is very...

Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Seán Fleming: The Department of Justice and Equality has a big job to do to convince the public, through this committee, of the logic of what happened because the Comptroller and Auditor General has said in lay man's English that it is a waste of taxpayer's money. The most difficult issue is the fact that the Department is struggling to explain this issue here today-----

Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Seán Fleming: That suggests to me that if senior personnel in the Department - I am not being personal here - are struggling to understand or explain the details of this, then lessons will not be learned.

People buy and sell sites all the time and one solicitor gets documentation from the other and ticks the boxes when there is no dispute regarding the property or issues regarding rights of way or way leave. There are standard questionnaires upon which we thought people could rely. In any event, Ms McPhillips understands the point we are making. We want a detailed,...
