- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)
Seán Fleming: Yes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)
Seán Fleming: The previous Committee of Public Accounts got a copy of this report at the end of 2015. I am curious. Can we check if it was the same redacted version or is it more heavily redacted? It is the same redacted version.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)
Seán Fleming: Auditors normally need unredacted versions of documents.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)
Seán Fleming: How about we refer this to the parliamentary legal adviser to follow up the Deputy's point? Perhaps the PLA needs to consult the institute's legal adviser to agree an improved version. There will inevitably have to be some redaction if there are names mentioned.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)
Seán Fleming: Exactly. I accept we cannot work with this because we could not draw any conclusions because we would not know what we were missing in the redactions. I do not know the mechanism. We, as a committee, cannot negotiate with Cork Institute of Technology.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)
Seán Fleming: We should ask the Oireachtas parliamentary legal adviser to help us to get a less redacted version and to communicate directly with the college on our behalf. I make that suggestion.

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)
Seán Fleming: These events are four years old. They cannot quote commercial sensitivity for a contract that has been signed, sealed, delivered and paid for.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)
Seán Fleming: Commercial sensitivity does not last forever.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)
Seán Fleming: That is my view on this. We will do both.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)
Seán Fleming: We will ask our PLA to advise us because this is not the first time we have got something like this.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2017)
Seán Fleming: We need to know where we are going with redacted documents as a general rule here at this committee. We will follow up both. I assure the Deputy the item will not slip off the agenda. No. 715 is correspondence from the Secretary General of the Department of Education and Skills dated 19 July in response to a request from the committee regarding the building of a boat on school premises...
