Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Bobby Aylward: It is policy. Has accommodation been procured? If there are additional requirements, how is it found? I know that it is spread throughout the country and we have done our bit in Carlow and Kilkenny. I am from Kilkenny and we have allocated houses to Syrian families, in particular. Do we have accommodation for them? Who paid for it? Was it the Department of Justice and Equality or the...

Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Bobby Aylward: I do not wish to drag out the questioning, but did Kilkenny County Council receive compensation for the houses that were provided, either to buy or rent them? Who paid? Was it the council through the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government or is a special fund given to the council from a central fund to buy such houses? I am speaking about Kilkenny because that is where I am...

Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Bobby Aylward: The reason I am asking is that I was told that Kilkenny County Council had to cover the costs from its own funding to provide the houses for refugees that have been made available to date. I did not send any letter or make an inquiry. At this stage approximately 12 families have been housed in Kilkenny. My understanding is the cost falls on the local authority, rather than a central fund....

Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Bobby Aylward: There were overpayments of €550,000 to 150 employees. What are the circumstances surrounding an overpayment? Why is anyone overpaid? I am not overpaid for anything I do. I am glad to be paid what I earn, but I am not overpaid. I have no come-back. I get what I get, from which tax and everything else are taken out. Why is there overpayment in the Department?

Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Bobby Aylward: My last question relates to claims made by members of the public. I do not understand this. Total legal costs for claims made by members of the public amounted to €6.1956 million, while awards amounted to €100,000. How did legal costs come to €6.1956 million and the awards to €100,000 in compensation? That sounds extravagant on a like-for-like basis. How could...
