Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (18 Jun 2015) John McGuinness: Where is the hold up in the process? The Office of the Ombudsman made the recommendation. That recommendation presumably was to pay Mrs. Byrne.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2013 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (18 Jun 2015) John McGuinness: A clear recommendation was made in the case of this individual. The Revenue Commissioners have come before us in respect of other cases in the past and I know the case was fought but one individual was paid based on what the Office of the Ombudsman said. Now another Department has received a report from the Office of the Ombudsman but is not paying the individual. What is preventing the...

I raise the matter because it seems there are queries going back to 2010 in regard to the use of that particular building. The officials might check the background to that...

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (18 Jun 2015) John McGuinness: However, even in its latest statements, attention is drawn, for example, to the need to improve Bord na gCon's procurement functions and so on. It seems the board is fighting on all fronts. Members of the board have stated that the extra money they got in last year's budget was not requested by them but was simply allocated to them. Does Mr. O'Driscoll envisage the same thing happening in...
