Chapter 18: Department Reviews of welfare Schemes, Social Welfare Appeals Process, Social Insurance Fund (7 Dec 2017) David Cullinane: The level of detail is important because, as I pointed out earlier, there is a lot of outsourcing in the public sector. We are outsourcing service delivery. It is our job to make sure all the money is spent wisely. In process terms, we need to be able to ensure we hold accountable officers to account but, because there is a service level agreement in place and the service delivery is...

Chapter 18: Department Reviews of welfare Schemes, Social Welfare Appeals Process, Social Insurance Fund (7 Dec 2017) David Cullinane: There is a figure of €71.2 million over two years. The service delivery is outsourced to two companies. The very first question, a simple one, was on the value of the initial registration fee paid. We cannot even get that initial registration fee because of commercial sensitivity, I would imagine. That is the problem with this outsourcing. How are we meant to understand how this...

Chapter 18: Department Reviews of welfare Schemes, Social Welfare Appeals Process, Social Insurance Fund (7 Dec 2017) David Cullinane: I just want to put a number of other questions. My first observation is that Mr. McKeon makes the point that confidentiality could be seen as a way of protecting the State. Mr. McKeon sees it in that light. He wants to make sure we get the best possible price. There is logic to that but only on the basis that one accepts that outsourcing of all the service delivery is good....

Chapter 18: Department Reviews of welfare Schemes, Social Welfare Appeals Process, Social Insurance Fund (7 Dec 2017) David Cullinane: He is not accountable to me today because he cannot tell me what the registration fee is. That is my question. He is accountable to me but he cannot actually be accountable because he is saying a wall has been put between us. The wall is confidentiality and commercial sensitivity. While one could argue at one level that this is about protecting the State, this is the Committee of Public...

The initial registration fee is one part of the payment. Payments are made when a client achieves sustained employment. There could be a number of payments. What is the range of payments made?

We are not looking for an individual breakdown for each person. Is it not even possible to give the average in the range?
