Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (1 May 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: The 100,000 homes delivered in the lifetime of the Government have been welcome. In areas where viability is an issue, it is important that we have public housing on public land, in particular in cities. It is welcome that there are almost 2,500 houses in design and construction on many sites in my constituency alone. I am worried about one site in particular, which is the old Ballymun...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank all the witnesses for being with us this morning. The previous Committee of Public Accounts hearing probably did not add to the overall public confidence in the organisation. That is probably an understatement. Dr. Gallagher does not have any board members with him today. Was that a decision made? Given the obviously very frequent interaction that has taken place and the...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: I have no doubt that it is hard enough to get people to serve on boards as it is without bringing them before the Committee of Public Accounts. The organisation does great work. It is very valuable and it is very needed. Those are matters the organisation can discuss at the joint Oireachtas committee that covers that work. I suppose our job is to be in the nitty-gritty of the governance...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: Let me put it a different way. It seemed unusual that a large number of the issues that we dealt with were all being responded to on the day by the head of HR even though some of those issues were not specific to the HR function. Was that an imbalance in the way the executive was structured?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: And the staff conflict of interest relating to Aasleagh House as well.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: One of the references made on the uninsured drivers issue was that there was the issue of overworking and a huge volume of work and that that had been one of the reasons that led to it. The concern is that that has not changed, but Ms Campion is suggesting that the restructuring of responsibilities has changed that.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: What measures are in place within field services to alert decision-makers to a potential issue such as that arising again?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: It is now not vehicle-specific.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: What was the total cost of the issue of uninsured vehicles to the organisation?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: There is a claims issue. Has there been any interaction with the Garda in respect of criminal prosecution? Having uninsured vehicles on the road is a criminal matter.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: Regarding setting aside potential resources for future claims and so on, has IFI set aside a contingency for that cost?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: Of course, Ms Campion will not tell me what it is. Given that the matter will be decided by the courts, she must be able to give the committee some indication of what the total cost will be.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: Once that is decided, IFI will be able to comment on those claims.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: That is not the question I am asking. I am asking what contingency has been set aside for it.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: What are the accruals?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: That is a tricky position. Let us come back to the issue of Aasleagh House, the contract to the staff member and all that. What steps have been put in place in respect of that potential conflict of interest? I ask Ms Campion to speak not about the specifics too much but about the general policy.
