- 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 qualification the Comptroller and Auditor General's office gave in the 2007 accounts, which was consistently repeated right up until the 2011 accounts, was that it was a qualified report.
- 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)

- 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: Who has been assigned within the Department to clean up this matter? Ultimately, this is as much about proper records and systems, namely, basic housekeeping. If a corner shop was operating in this fashion, Revenue would close it down because the records are so incomplete but, ultimately, unlike a shopkeeper, this involves €8 million of taxpayers' money per annum. I have no doubt...
- 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.
- 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: We know that. How much was the annual rent?
- 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: My only real interest is in taxpayers' money.
- 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: I accept that. I am asking a simple question. What was the annual rent?
- 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: What was the annual rent prior to the sale?
- 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: Is it fair to say that the individual who bought the building has had possession of the building over the 21-year period in question?
- 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: With due respect, I cannot go down the route understood in the explanation of the 21-year delay. There is an inherent weakness in such a situation. I have never heard of a situation in which it took 21 years for a sale involving someone who is currently a tenant of the building in question, and who has not been charged rent in the intervening years, to proceed. Maybe there are such cases....
- 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: This is not personal, but with due respect to Mr. Moran it is unacceptable from a taxpayers' viewpoint that a person who has been in a building rent free for the last 21 years is now buying that building at 1993 values. Maybe it would be a different situation if they were paying current values, but they are actually buying it at a price that was negotiated 21 years ago. It is as if I were...
