Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Investment Funds: Discussion (1 Mar 2023)

John McGuinness: ...their side of the story, that is, to explain themselves and explain how best we can engage with the funds to get information for customers who have come to us or to the IMHO. It is not right, in a small market of 5 million or 6 million people, that a set of financial entities would not engage in a public forum. That beggars belief, and I am disappointed with successive Ministers for...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (12 Feb 2019)

John McGuinness: The work can be seen, physically, but has the Minister of State quantified the level of overrun with regard to the €15 million? Does the Minister of State envisage or guess that it is €5 million, or are there actual reports from the contractors or individuals on site to say "Lads this is going to cost X percentage more". These things cannot be guessed. Will the Minister of...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (12 Feb 2019)

John McGuinness: I would like to clarify something regarding the table on page 5. In general, the Minister of State is stating that construction starting in 2019 may be delayed, for one reason or another, and that is where he may get the €3 million. Is that correct?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (27 Nov 2018)

John McGuinness: I understand that. It is a little like Mr. McMahon's line in praising himself for returning the €25.749 million to the Exchequer. The role of the OPW is to manage historical and heritage sites. That is part of its function. I say, "Well done," but that is it. The other part of the OPW's function is to account for how money is spent. If the OPW spent €5 million on camera...

Credit Union Sector Report: Motion (8 Mar 2018)

John McGuinness: ...that is fit for purpose. It is up for the change that is necessary to service its customers.

The movement is a significant contributor to the welfare and financial well-being of its...

Financial Resolutions 2018 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (19 Oct 2017)

John McGuinness: ...this budget. As a result, the big winners continue to be big winners. For example, I have seen in the newspapers over the past few days - perhaps it was just today - that the State has paid €221 million in legal fees. Let us examine that in the context of the budget. This morning the Central Bank is before the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and...

Vote 6: Office of the Chief State Solicitor (12 Nov 2015)

John McGuinness: A child was involved in an accident. The child is now 18. I am interested because €5 million was awarded in that case back in 2012. The sum is being held by the President of the High Court. The individual concerned, the child, and the parents have not received the benefit of that award. The €5 million is held without having been invested. It cost the parents €6,000...

National Asset Management Agency: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (21 Oct 2015)

John McGuinness: ..., and some of the information that Members have put on the public record this evening is simply incorrect. The par value of those loans - that is, what the borrowers owed NAMA at one time - was €5.7 billion. NAMA paid the banks €2.2 billion, and the remaining €3.5 billion, 61% of the par value, was the discount on the price paid by NAMA. When they went on through...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Jul 2015)

John McGuinness: .... They are all noted from 4.1 down to 4.21. The one we have to draw attention to is 4.20, which is the Higher Education Authority and the fact it has accumulated funds in five universities of €159 million at 30 September 2014. On 30 September 2013, the figure was €125 million. The Comptroller and Auditor General has drawn attention to this fact in previous meetings. I...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Jun 2015)

John McGuinness: .... Second, relative to the correspondence before us today, I draw the attention of members to the public document from Patrick and Pauline Coughlan who say that at this stage NAMA owes them €1.7 million while everyone else has been paid. They raise that issue. They also point out that, "It is basically bully-boy tactics by doing what they want. 'There is nothing you can do about...
