Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (30 Jan 2014)

Kieran O'Donnell: The property was occupied by An Garda Síochána. This was not a vacant site. The Department was extremely lucky that NAMA was formed. If NAMA had not been formed, it would have had money going out of the State purse. That €31.5 million could have been used for day-to-day services within relevant Departments but it has now gone into NAMA. What due diligence was done at the...

Kieran O'Donnell: ...to come out of the burst balloon. July 2006 was effectively the peak in terms of valuations. Someone got peak valuation for affordable housing and got a site adjacent to an existing site with the Garda in situ. It was not a vacant possession site. The question I am asking Ms Tallon - is nothing personal; this is what we do here - is what due diligence was done. Clearly, there was...

Chapter 7 - Management of Fixed Charge Notice System (23 Jan 2014)

Kieran O'Donnell: Would these issues refer to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission? The public has great respect for An Garda Síochána. Why are we here today discussing this particular issue? The Commissioner has spoken about the internal systems in the Garda. Did the two individuals make formal complaints within the system? Were their complaints heard? The Commissioner might walk...

Kieran O'Donnell: The question I am really asking is on the robustness of the system as perceived by someone looking in. How did the two whistleblowers bring the matter to the notice of their superiors in An Garda Síochána? How did it funnel up through the system?
