- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: We are in public session. For the benefit of the public, I note that in our private session we discussed correspondence we received in the past week on the Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board. While we wish to address matters relating to the ETB, we are concerned about some legal issues. We will discuss the matter again next week following receipt of advice from the...

Seán Fleming: Yes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: The Department has been asked and we are waiting for it. We do not have it, but it is on our list.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: We have that. It is in the comprehensive document which has been circulated. I looked at it before I came down. It is 952B - the TII response to the request for further information during its appearance. There is a full list of every motorway project on a county-by-county basis and the total cost of land acquisition and goodwill payments. The full detail is there.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: There is a lot of volume and it is all there. We move to item No. 4, statements and accounts received since the last meeting. On the screen, there are three sets of accounts, the first of which relates to the Social Insurance Fund.

Seán Fleming: Is that the Departmental Vote? We do not have the Vote on for next week. We have chapter 16, regularity of social welfare payments-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: How can we have a chapter in the social insurance fund next week if it deals with the social insurance fund and we are not discussing the social insurance fund?

Seán Fleming: The Department?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: I do not want to have a partial debate here. It does not make sense to me that we would have a debate on three chapters which are related to the Department and not yet have the Department Vote before us.

Seán Fleming: Coming back?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: We will ask for the Vote to be included and specifically ask in regard to these chapters in respect of the Vote.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: We will come back then to the Vote separately as part of our work programme, but I do not want to be told, as part of the Vote, that as it is not part of the chapter we cannot discuss it. The same with the social insurance fund. We cannot discuss those three chapters without discussing the account out of which they are paid. That is simple.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Nov 2017)
Seán Fleming: In regard to the work programme then, we have the Revenue Commissioners today, the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection, as it calls itself, now and then on Thursday we are starting with banking issues and the Department of Finance. What I will ask for next week is that the secretariat brings forward a draft work programme for the first couple of months of 2018. We cannot...
