- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Water Tariffs: Commission for Energy Regulation (21 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: Will Mr. McGowan repeat that, please?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Water Tariffs: Commission for Energy Regulation (21 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: If the CER were to go with the assessed charge up to 31 December 2016, would the financial model of capped charges that is to remain in place until 1 July cover the costs?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Water Tariffs: Commission for Energy Regulation (21 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: But if people use less water in this nine-month period than the amount capped, will they get a rebate?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Water Tariffs: Commission for Energy Regulation (21 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: Did CER do a sensitivity analysis to run that model up to the end of 2016?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Water Tariffs: Commission for Energy Regulation (21 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: With due respect, some people had their meters installed a long time ago and they are getting it. If their meter was installed six months ago, they will be able to avail of this model up to 1 July 2015.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Water Tariffs: Commission for Energy Regulation (21 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: I accept that, but given that the CER knows the rate at which meters will be installed, did it consider extending the current model up to 31 December 2016?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Water Tariffs: Commission for Energy Regulation (21 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: Why not?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Water Tariffs: Commission for Energy Regulation (21 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: I have a very short question. Did CER consider allowing the current model to run for everyone for longer? Up to the end of 2015 or the end of 2016, people would have their charges capped based on the model that has been put in place. It is a very straightforward thing. People would have absolute certainty about what they pay up to the end of 2016. At that point, 80% of the meters would...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Water Tariffs: Commission for Energy Regulation (21 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: I thank the Chairman for allowing me to speak. It appears from the proposal supplied that in the initial submission the witnesses allowed the rate proposed to remain as the rate to be used - I refer to the rate of €244. Notwithstanding this, the witnesses have referred to a figure of 8.2% in efficiencies. Can they reconcile all this? I would have thought that if cost reductions...

- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 82 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Financial Management and Reporting for Fishery Harbour Centres (16 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: Chairman, can I ask a question on that particular issue? On what date did the Department effectively take over the administration of the harbours?
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 82 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Financial Management and Reporting for Fishery Harbour Centres (16 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: The 2007 accounts were effectively the responsibility of the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources. Is that a fair comment?
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 82 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Financial Management and Reporting for Fishery Harbour Centres (16 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: They were the responsibility of the staff of that Department, who issued a qualified report. The accounts from 2008 onwards were the responsibility of what is now the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Those accounts are qualified up to 2011. The 2006 accounts, under the aegis of the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, are in effect unqualified. In...
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 82 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Financial Management and Reporting for Fishery Harbour Centres (16 Oct 2014)

- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 82 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Financial Management and Reporting for Fishery Harbour Centres (16 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: Would they have made the audit more complete than it would have been prior to 2007?
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 82 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Financial Management and Reporting for Fishery Harbour Centres (16 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: Prior to that, would the Department have received internal audit reports from the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources?

Kieran O'Donnell: How would Mr. Moran feel if someone took over an enterprise with a turnover of roughly €12 million per annum and seven years later he or she still had not-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 82 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Financial Management and Reporting for Fishery Harbour Centres (16 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: Okay. The organisation is worth €5 million, it is taken over, but seven years later those who have taken it over still have not got their act together. How would Mr. Moran feel about that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Special Report 82 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Financial Management and Reporting for Fishery Harbour Centres (16 Oct 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: The point I am making is that this is taking too long.
