Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: This is seeking further information. Basically, we want to know how, when the legislation was being drafted, the confidentiality clauses were included. Who knows about the unclaimed prizes? I presume the regulator knows but is unable to divulge the information as a result of the clauses put in place. I am trying to figure who else knows aside from the regulator. Does somebody in the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: It is just the regulator.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: I have no issue with that. I just want to know, apart from the regulator, who knows the figure. How is it checked? Are we just taking the word of the operator that this is the figure or will somebody go through it? There was another €1 million that went unclaimed last week.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: I do not know if there is a mechanism for the regulator to ensure that €1 million would go back to be spent for the purposes specified under the contract, including promotion of games-----

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: She could not discuss it because she is bound by a confidentiality agreement. She asked the operator if she could provide the information but it did not allow it.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: I presume she does.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: She could not even confirm she had it.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: The report states they lost in the region of €32,000.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: I am not happy with this and I will tell the Chairman why. The issue is not whether Mr. Gleeson was of the understanding the women had been informed or not. The issue was he sat in that chair and said he did not have a conversation with the SCA and he did not tell them that all of the women had been informed. It is not an issue of whether he was of that belief or not. He categorically...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: At the same meeting, he told this committee he had a conversation with the SCA outside this room and, according to him, the agency told him personally that it was two individuals from the HSE who had informed the SCA that all of the women were informed, yet he could not remember the names of those individuals. The issue for me is not whether he knew; it is whether he sat in the chair here...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: I did not want to use the word "lie".

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: I said he gave incorrect information.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: It is my understanding that the agency is agreeing with the point that the individual who told it was under the belief-----

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: There are two issues here. First, we now know a conversation took place between Mr. Gleeson and the State Claims Agency.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 May 2018)

Jonathan O'Brien: Yes, but even in this letter Mr. Connaghan says Mr. Gleeson "cannot recollect the specifics of the conference call". He told this committee that there was no conference call. Those concerned are being very cute with how they are playing with words here. There was an apparent difference regarding a misunderstanding over whether women had been informed. Mr. Gleeson told the committee it was...
