Seán Fleming: ...to get into any specific detail there. I have two final observations to make. We were supplied with a briefing note on the outturn for salaries, wages and allowances in 2014, which was €236 million, including a Supplementary Estimate of €5 million. The outturn in 2015 was €235 million. I see that the estimated outturn for 2016 is €230 million. It is good to...

To ask the Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question Nos. 138 and 139 of 11 May 2017, the number of individuals and organisations that owe the social insurance fund less than €10,000, between €10,000 and €50,000, between €50,000 and €100,000, between €100,000 and €250,000, between €250,000 and €500,000,...

Public Accounts Committee: Teagasc Financial Statements 2017 (4 Oct 2018)

Seán Fleming: Just in order that we can get a feel for it. We have mentioned that the profit figure was down significantly. I recall that the operating surplus was down from approximately €8 million to €5 million. I am trying to figure out where in the divisions - operations, knowledge transfer and research - the reduction in profit occurred, as in the case of income, salaries and...

2017 Financial Statements - Housing Agency (25 Oct 2018)

Seán Fleming: That is €33 million minus €28 million. This €1.2 million happened in respect of €5 million of the Housing Agency's purchases. Can I take it none of it had to do with the National Building Agency or the agency's pension costs?

Seán Fleming: ...issued last week that the average cost of finance in respect of the national debt is about 4%. I do not see a reason the State and the taxpayer should have to pay a finance charge of more than 5% on a figure of €4 billion to €5 billion. If we were to save 1% on the finance charge on a figure of €4 billion, there would be a saving of €40 million next year. If...

On the next page, it states that the fees for legal proceedings was €15.7 million and settlements amounted to €2.83 million. Will somebody please explain the figure for settlements of €2.83 million versus the figure for fees associated with...

Public Accounts Committee: Payments to Section 39 Companies: Discussion (27 Feb 2014)

Seán Fleming: ...to them. I would like to ask about the review the HSE is doing. Mr. O'Brien said earlier this morning that the HSE is dealing in the first instance with organisations that receive in excess of €5 million and hopes to have a report on those organisations by the end of March. How many such organisations are there? Can Mr. O'Brien list them? Is there a list? There cannot be too...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Jun 2013)

Seán Fleming: ...an issue in the annual report of the HSE that is mentioned in the Comptroller and Auditor General's report. In simple English, there was an overpayment for medical cards amounting to between €3 million and €5 million. With all of the difficulties in the health service, instead of just noting the account, we should write to the HSE now requesting that it quantify the amount...

Seán Fleming: -----out of a total of €600 million approximately. We are left with half of that sum. That leads me to page 142 on which it is indicated that €27 million went last year to different Departments. Who decides where the money is to be disbursed? Is it by ministerial direction? Who made the decision that the Department of Rural and Community Development was to receive...

Seán Fleming: It is their right. Page 33 says that €5 million of the €7 million for legal costs, 72%, relates to the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service. For all the people who go to all the solicitors and take all the cases, the taxpayer tends to cover that cost as a result when they-----
