Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (17 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: I would be interested because, obviously, it is really important that RTÉ comes under the remit of the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General. How long in general would it take for a body to come under its remit? How long does that take on the Comptroller and Auditor General's side? Is it just simply that we are waiting on the Bill? The other thing that stood out to me with...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (17 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: Yes, it is agreed. Realistically, it will probably be a very long meeting because there is a very large amount to go through but it is very important so it is absolutely agreed.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (17 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: Is there any possibility of getting the board in at another time that week? I am just concerned. We obviously have no idea when the election will be called but that is the week the Finance Bill is due to be discussed in the finance committee and the election could potentially be called the following week. If this has been outstanding for this long and if it is such an issue of public...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Charities Regulatory Authority (17 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: Okay. On the back of this, I ask the regulator to come back to the committee with detail. It could look back to 2017 and see what the story is with those three structures and whether there have been any others. An Teachta Verona Murphy outlined the concern about the amount of staff the regulator has to look through 11,060 charities and whether it has enough funding to be able to look at...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Charities Regulatory Authority (17 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: That is fair. Following up from my colleague Deputy Brady's query about gathering data on CEO remuneration, obviously we see so many fantastic charities across this State that put huge work in, and so many people are constantly supporting it, but there have been times when people have had concerns about the remuneration of CEOs. That is something that has had quite a focus placed on it,...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Funding (17 Oct 2024)

Matt Carthy: People will be astounded to see the Department of Defence surrendering any money back to the Exchequer, considering the challenges that the Defence Forces are currently facing in the retention and recruitment crisis and the ambitions that have been set out, particularly in the report of the Commission on the Defence Forces. I have raised with the Tánaiste on a number of occasions the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Funding (17 Oct 2024)

Micheál Martin: We have actually expanded expenditure. The bottom line is, in terms of capital expenditure, procurement is an issue in terms of the time it can take to procure, particularly C295s. The bottom line is we are committing to a lot of expenditure, which will come on stream. It does not necessarily fall in any given 12 months. I do not accept the Deputy's characterisation of the budgetary...
