Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: The public business before us is as follows: minutes, accounts and statements, correspondence, consideration of a draft committee work programme, and any other business. The first item of business is the minutes of our meetings of 17 and 22 October, which have been circulated to members. Do members wish to raise any matters in relation to the minutes? No. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed....

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: Is it agreed to note the listing of accounts and financial statements? Agreed. As usual, the listing of accounts and financial statements will be published as part of our minutes.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: I will come in on that. I totally agree. It is not good enough. I understand that as a result of it being a commercial entity, the Department is able to claim that some of the information cannot be given, but we need to see if we can get any more information. That is agreed. We will do that. It is to be hoped we will get some kind of response before we meet again. Updated actions are...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: I think we probably still will be here on 7 November. There is the issue of invitations being sent ten days in advance and that would allow for 7 November. Otherwise I am happy to meet next week if it comes back and says it cannot do 7 November but can do next week. Would Deputy Murphy be in agreement with this?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: We will write to it and extend the invitation. As we know, this was flagged with it at the beginning of October. If it says it cannot do 7 November, which is after ten days, we can state we are more than happy to meet it next week. It is in the public domain that the Dáil will not continue for much longer after 7 November. In the short period of time we have available to us, this...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: For clarity, has the Comptroller and Auditor General dealt with the 2022 accounts previously?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: It will depend, then.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: At election time so many different things are up in the air. It is an issue of great concern for us with regard to the spending of public money. It is also an issue of great public concern. It is very important that the committee can hold people to account and hear what exactly is going on and get to the bottom of it. We will issue the invitation and say there is no problem and that we...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Childcare Services (24 Oct 2024)

Claire Kerrane: I thought of that very point when the Minister said one of the biggest reasons people are leaving is age. Giving security to foster carers when they reach the age of 66 and ensuring they can access a State pension is important. I discussed that with the representatives. They said that perhaps a new system is needed. The best thing we can do is consider the new system introduced for family...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Childcare Services (24 Oct 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: I thank the Deputy. There is certainly merit in considering her idea. The Deputy is probably aware that Tusla is in the AV room today, where I am hosting representatives who are coming in to talk to Members of the Oireachtas about foster caring and how some of us or our constituents who are interested in it can deliver that message and make it clear how people can sign up. Tusla is doing a...

To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if a guarantee can be provided that the second optional protocol to the UNCRC will be ratified before the term of the Thirty-third Dáil concludes (details supplied); if his Department has finalised the outstanding legal obstacles; and if not, the measures required before Ireland can finally ratify this...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Child Protection (24 Oct 2024)

Joan Collins: I ask the Minister to clarify a statement in a press release from his Department on 23 September 2024 to the effect that ratifying the second optional protocol would mean that Ireland is officially bound by the terms under international law. It is linked to another question. Can a guarantee be provided that the second optional protocol to the UNCRC will be ratified before the end of the...
