Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Heritage Schemes (11 Mar 2015)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: This question relates to the built heritage jobs leverage scheme. It was one of the good ideas initiated by the last Government, a Government which was perhaps not awash with good ideas. The €5 million put up by the Government secured private investment of €10 million for 540 projects across the country, employing 175 people. What are the prospects for this scheme in 2015?

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Heritage Schemes (11 Mar 2015)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Implicit in the answer is that there will be no scheme in 2015, which is very regrettable and represents a failure on the part of the Minister's Department. I urge the Minister to go back to the Minister for Public Expenditure on Reform to secure the funding involved. As she quite rightly said, a fairly small figure of €5 million unleashed €10 million in private investment,...

I want to welcome the inclusion of the additional €2 million for the cultural...

Vote 35 - Army Pensions (Supplementary)
Vote 36 - Defence (Supplementary) (3 Dec 2014)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: The saving in the subhead seems to very substantial - just short of €5 million. That is significant by any standard. Has the Department reduced the number of civilian employees-----

Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Estimates for Public Services 2014
Vote 35 - Army Pensions (Supplementary)
Vote 36 - Defence (Supplementary) (3 Dec 2014)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Yes. The subhead covers the payment of salaries and allowances for civil servants of the Department. As I understand it, the savings are of the order of €5 million. Are the savings due to a reduction in the number of civilians working in the Department or the transfer of duties previously undertaken by civilians to members of the Permanent Defence Force or have the savings been...

Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Estimates for Public Services 2014
Vote 35 - Army Pensions (Supplementary)
Vote 36 - Defence (Supplementary) (3 Dec 2014)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: That seems to be at variance with the notes in front of me where it says there is a cut of €5 million to pay and allowances of civilian staff. Perhaps I am misinterpreting the information.
