Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) John McGuinness: Then there are other operating expenses of €912,000 in 2012 and €641,000 in 2013. Could we have a breakdown of those? There is no breakdown here.

IDA Ireland - Financial Statement 2013
Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) John McGuinness: In November 2014, it was reported that there was an issue - I am repeating what was reported then and I am not using this word myself - in respect of corruption and sexual harassment within the organisation. Enterprise Ireland, I think, asked for it to be investigated. Was that an outside company that investigated that?

Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) John McGuinness: The merger of county enterprise boards, CEBs, and the local enterprise offices was not a great idea, in my opinion anyway. I thought the country enterprise boards were doing just fine and now they are going into county councils where there is not a great record in terms of commercial operations. I hope Enterprise Ireland will keep a close eye on them. Can you tell me the cost of the new...

Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) John McGuinness: I ask Mr. Hayes to give us information on the CEBs and their leases if they vacated properties. Could he give us a report on the ones that were transferring straight to local authorities? Are they now using council offices? Are they retaining their own offices? What is the cost involved there? Were some of the staff contracts terminated? Just so that we can get a flavour of-----

Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) John McGuinness: Who will audit the new LEOs?

IDA Ireland - Financial Statement 2013
Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) John McGuinness: We will hear very little of that so. I presume that is catered for in legislation. The new LEOs will not be audited by Enterprise Ireland; they will be audited by the local government audit team. Will they then give Enterprise Ireland a report every year?

IDA Ireland - Financial Statement 2013
Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) John McGuinness: I will give Mr. Hayes my view. Enterprise Ireland needs to ensure it has a clear line of sight on the audit conducted by the local government audit team so that it gets some sort of report on the money Enterprise Ireland has given to these local enterprise offices so that in turn the Comptroller and Auditor General can look at and we can examine it. It is all taxpayers' money. I have a...

Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) John McGuinness: The Department of Education and Skills gives money to the Higher Education Authority and so on, and it goes out from there. No one seems to trace it after that as accurately as one would like on behalf of the taxpayer. I hope Enterprise Ireland can set a model in place that could be followed by others where there is transparency right down to the spend of the taxpayers' money and that we...

Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) John McGuinness: Good. Mr. Hayes should work them hard. The BDM scheme funds the CECs. Is that right?

- Public Accounts Committee: 2013 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
IDA Ireland - Financial Statement 2013
Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) John McGuinness: Is that announcement imminent because these BDM contracts were put in place in 2012? The contracts started to run out between 2012 and 2014. Now there is some urgency about this because there is a question mark over performance, future funding and all of that. How soon will they be told?

Enterprise Ireland - Financial Statement 2013 (12 Feb 2015) John McGuinness: I ask Mr. Shanahan and Ms Sinnamon to come back to us on Taiwan. I forgot to mention the number of students who travel from Taiwan to the UK. It is a huge business. A few of them end up here in Ireland and they are anxious to promote a student exchange between Ireland and Taiwan. In fact arrangements are already in place to allow that to happen. However, given even the spin-off from...
