Seán Fleming: We will alert him about our meeting and ask him to facilitate the publication prior to that meeting.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Mar 2018)
Seán Fleming: I will try to help you on that, Deputy. In the last Dáil I was involved with the public expenditure committee. That licence was issued directly by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The regulator was not in situ. The legislation for the regulator being put in place is to monitor the agreement that had been signed before the regulator came into being. Effectively, the...

Seán Fleming: The committee will help you follow it up.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Mar 2018)
Seán Fleming: We will follow up on the questions you asked and we will link it back to the original legislation. I am sure that was debated on Committee Stage of the legislation. I would be shocked if it was not. Let us see what the Minister said on the record when the legislation was being passed. It might not have transferred into the licence agreement, but let us tease it out in every way we can.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Mar 2018)
Seán Fleming: The old national lottery bumped in an extra €1 million on occasion. A special €1 million was added for those purposes in the old lottery. That was all discussed during the passing of the legislation, so let us see if what was said in the Chamber was implemented.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Mar 2018)
Seán Fleming: I agree. As I said, that licence was signed by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in the first instance, before the regulator came into being. We will tackle the Department on it because it is the body that signed the licence. We will discuss it with the Department. I do not know how far we will get but we will do our best.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Mar 2018)
Seán Fleming: No, we will write to the Department in the meantime. We will not wait until then.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Mar 2018)
Seán Fleming: Yes, it is under that Department. Deputy, you might liaise with the secretariat on the information you have received already. That would help the secretariat to hone the letter to be sent. However, I still refer back to the debate in the Dáil, what commitments were given in that and whether that transferred into the licence that was ultimately signed by the Department.

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Mar 2018)
Seán Fleming: Okay.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Mar 2018)
Seán Fleming: Okay. We would probably need the NTMA, the State Claims Agency and the HSE here together. I am slowly coming to the conclusion that management of the wards of court fund should be managed in the future by the State Claims Agency and not by a judges' committee. I do not think the latter is the appropriate body to manage this fund. We now have a State Claims Agency that manages these types...
