David Cullinane: Is Ms Hanna aware of anything else that might be on the form?
- Public Accounts Committee: Tusla - Financial Statements 2016 (19 Oct 2017)
David Cullinane: Okay. I imagine it would be important for the person submitting the form to have to declare that he or she was not claiming for the same expenses from any other organisation. Maybe that is not on the form. Would that be on the form? Is it something that would have to be signed for?

David Cullinane: I will come to Mr. McCarthy in a second. Is Ms Hanna saying there is no such requirement as part of the-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Tusla - Financial Statements 2016 (19 Oct 2017)
David Cullinane: I am talking in real time. When this individual filled in the forms in respect of the expenses that were essentially double-claimed over a five-year period, as part of that would he or she have had to sign a declaration that the expenses were not claimed elsewhere?
- Public Accounts Committee: Tusla - Financial Statements 2016 (19 Oct 2017)
David Cullinane: Mr. Hughes is saying "No". Ms Hanna is saying "No".

David Cullinane: Can Mr. McCarthy answer this question?
- Public Accounts Committee: Tusla - Financial Statements 2016 (19 Oct 2017)
David Cullinane: Obviously, that is different from what we have heard previously. There was a clear requirement. As part of the declaration that would be made, the organisation would be informed by the claimant that he or she was not claiming expenses elsewhere. The claimant would tell the organisation that it was the only place he or she was claiming expenses from. That did not turn out to be the case....

David Cullinane: How much was that for?
- Public Accounts Committee: Tusla - Financial Statements 2016 (19 Oct 2017)
David Cullinane: What was the outcome of that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Tusla - Financial Statements 2016 (19 Oct 2017)
David Cullinane: Did the local family resource centre conduct an examination into this? Did it do its own examination?
- Public Accounts Committee: Tusla - Financial Statements 2016 (19 Oct 2017)
David Cullinane: The total amount that was double-claimed was €44,000, which is not a huge figure in Tusla's overall budget. I am concerned about the process. This is important because it does not relate to this issue only. It could have implications for other public bodies. I am trying to establish what happened to enable us to resolve this issue. At some point, this was reported to the Standards...
