Vol. 664 No. 3
114 Deputy Jim O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the position regarding the Government’s pledge to eliminate consistent poverty; the steps her Department has taken on same; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34829/08]
163 Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her views on whether the Irish State is on course to eradicate poverty in the coming years. [34849/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 114 and 163 together.
Combating poverty and building an inclusive society are key priorities for the Government. The overall goal of the National Action Plan for Social Inclusion (NAPinclusion) introduced in February 2007 is to reduce the number of those experiencing consistent poverty to between 2 per cent and 4 per cent by 2012, with the aim of eliminating consistent poverty by 2016. These commitments and the social inclusion commitments in the National Development Plan have wide-ranging support, having been drawn up in consultation with the social partners and other stakeholders.
The latest results from the EU Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), released in November 2007, indicate the Government being on target to achieve this goal. It showed that the rate of consistent poverty in the population in 2006 was 6.5 per cent, down from 7 per cent in 2005 and 8.2 per cent in 2003. The next round of EU-SILC results which will show the position in 2007 will be available shortly.
The NAPinclusion contains 12 high level strategic goals in key priority areas and over 150 more detailed targets and actions designed to meet the goals set down. The Plan has a particular focus on the effective delivery and implementation of quality public services for each stage of the lifecycle. Detailed action targets cover the broad spectrum of services including education, health and long-term care, housing, income support, employment supports, early childhood development and care, transport, and sport and culture.
The NAPinclusion provides for a comprehensive and efficient monitoring and reporting process, the key element of which is the preparation by the Office for Social Inclusion, based in my Department, of an annual Social Inclusion Report. The first Social Inclusion Report, published last November, showed that progress has been made and that social inclusion targets were on track for the period under review.
This Government remains committed to delivering on its commitments in the NAPinclusion, as resources permit. Even in these difficult economic times, the Government has prioritised delivering real increases in social welfare payments. The Budget provides for increases of between 3 per cent and 3.8 per cent in the basic rates next year, ahead of the projected rate of inflation of 2.5% for 2009.
115 Deputy Eamon Gilmore asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the expected saving to the Exchequer from the announcement in Budget 2009 in relation to the Combat Poverty Agency. [35626/08]
126 Deputy Arthur Morgan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her views on whether the Combat Poverty Agency should remain as an independent body. [34851/08]
182 Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her views and intentions in relation to the safeguarding of the independence of the Combat Poverty Agency. [34865/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 115, 126 and 182 together.
As Deputies will be aware, a review of the Combat Poverty Agency was undertaken on foot of a Government Decision on the 6th of June 2007. The purpose of the review was to examine the role of the Agency in light of the emergence since 1986 of comprehensive strategies and new institutional arrangements to promote social inclusion (such as the Cabinet Committee on Social Inclusion, the Office for Social Inclusion and the voluntary pillar in Social Partnership).
The Government, having considered the review report, has decided to integrate the Combat Poverty Agency with the Office for Social Inclusion. It is not my intention that Combat Poverty will simply be absorbed into the Office for Social Inclusion in its existing form. Rather a new strengthened division will be created which will make the best use of the considerable experience and expertise of the staff of both existing bodies and will seek to address the weaknesses identified by the Review in relation to both. I believe that this new division will provide a stronger voice for those affected by poverty and social inclusion issues.
I am conscious of the concerns about the need for independent scrutiny of public policy that have been expressed by some interest groups. I absolutely agree that independent critique is very important and this move is no way intended to reduce the scope for such work.
As the review report notes, the function of independent reporting on poverty is no longer as dependent on Combat Poverty as it was in earlier years. This is due for example to the emergence of other independent data sources such as the statistics on poverty reported by the CSO, and independent analysis by bodies such as the ESRI and NESC and on the international front by the EU and OECD. Of course, Ireland is well-served by the social partners and a wide range of NGOs and other groups who have a strong voice in public debate about poverty and related issues.
Procedures will be put in place to ensure that the views of these and other stakeholders, including people experiencing poverty, continue to be available to Government in developing and monitoring the social inclusion strategies.
Combining two organisations will naturally result in savings to the Exchequer, for example, in the areas of accommodation and support services. The extent and timing of savings will be identified and dealt with as part of the implementation of the Government decision which is underway.
116 Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the funding which has been allocated to date to the establishment of the Personal Advocacy Service for persons with disabilities both from her Department directly or through budget allocations to the Citizens Information Board; the expenditure on the establishment on the service to date; if a director of PAS has been appointed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34732/08]
135 Deputy Billy Timmins asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs when a personal advocacy service for persons with a disability will be put in place; the progress to date on appointments to the personal advocacy service; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34842/08]
176 Deputy James Bannon asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs when a personal advocacy service for persons with a disability will be put in place, as announced in the Government’s disability strategy; the progress to date on appointments to the Personal Advocacy Service; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34495/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 116, 135 and 176 together.
The statutory basis for the introduction of a personal advocacy service under the Citizens Information Board (CIB) was provided for in the Citizens Information Act, 2007. However, having regard to the current budgetary circumstances, it will not be possible to proceed with this next year.
The provision of an advocacy service remains a priority for this Government. In this regard, significant resources have been provided since 2005, and will continue to be made available under the auspices of the Citizens Information Board for the development and provision of advocacy services for people with disabilities. Funding of €1.8 million was provided in 2008 for service developments which include advocacy services. This brings the total funding for advocacy services to €6.1m for the period 2005 to 2008.
The Community and Voluntary Sector Advocacy programme has been developed by the Board since 2005 and has funded 46 separate advocacy projects. The overall focus of the programme is on representative advocacy for people with a disability. Projects either operate within a specific geographic area or are focused on a particular disability type. Each of the projects poses different challenges, some requiring more intensive work with smaller caseloads while others have larger caseloads with shorter periods of client contact.
Up to the end of June 2008, 3,241 members of the public have availed of the services provided by the projects. The breakdown per year is as follows:
2005 — Nil
2006 — 744
2007 — 1,322
June 2008 (6 months) — 1,175
There was an increase of 78% in the number of people availing of these services between 2006 and 2007 and the figures for the first six months of this year suggest that a similar increase will occur in 2008.
The Citizens Information Board is monitoring the programme to ensure that the projects are operating in accordance with the Board's advocacy guidelines. It is planned to undertake a full evaluation of the Community and Voluntary Sector Advocacy programme in 2010.
The Citizens Information Board also provides advocacy through the Citizens Information Services focusing on access to services, welfare entitlements and employment rights. This type of mainstream advocacy is also open to people with disabilities and the Community and Voluntary Sector Advocacy programme is creating close links with the Citizens Information Services to ensure that people with disabilities are encouraged and supported to use the mainstream services where possible. The advocacy capacity is being strengthened through the provision of Advocacy Resource Officers who work to build the capacity of information providers within the Citizens Information Services to advocate on behalf of clients. There are nine Advocacy Resource Officer in operation across the Citizens Information Services network.
I am satisfied with the developments undertaken to provide advocacy services for people with disabilities through the Citizens Information Board since 2004. The Department will continue to work with them to further enhance advocacy services for all citizens including those with disabilities.
117 Deputy Seán Barrett asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the expenditure by her Department on advertising and awareness activities since January 2008; the amount spent on same for the period January 2007 to January 2008; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34496/08]
131 Deputy Kieran O’Donnell asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the amount of money that was spent by her Department on advertising and awareness activities since January 2008; the amount of money spent on same for the period January 2007 to January 2008; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34825/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 117 and 131 together.
The Department undertakes advertising and awareness activities to ensure that all members of the public are made aware of their rights and entitlements and that they are kept informed of changes and improvements in schemes and services as they occur. The amount spent on advertising and awareness activities in any one year is determined by the number of specific activities as well as the media used. In addition, the Department also undertakes routine advertising such as notices in relation to Christmas and Easter arrangements and recruitment. The Department uses a mix of advertising media including national and provincial newspapers, radio and television, information leaflets, fact sheets, posters and direct mailshots.
The total amount spent on advertising and awareness activities in 2007 was €1.4m. Having regard to the current budgetary circumstances, the expenditure on advertising and public awareness activities will be reduced in 2008 and 2009. The total allocation in 2008 for awareness campaigns and routine advertising was €1.6m. However, it is estimated that expenditure to the end of 2008 will be approximately €1.2m giving savings of €400,000. The total allocation for advertising in 2009 is €800,000 giving additional reduction in expenditure of €400,000.
This action is being taken in a situation where information on the full range of social welfare schemes and services is available from the Department's local offices and the nationwide network of Citizens Information Centres. In addition, many people access information on the Department's and Citizen Information Board's websites. Essential advertising campaigns will continue to be undertaken as required.
The total amount spent to date in 2008 on advertising and awareness campaigns is €1.1m. In February and March 2008 separate advertisements were placed in the national newspapers inviting public submissions on the development of the Department's Customer Action Plan and Customer Charter, and on the development of a National Carers' Strategy at a total cost of €199,000.
In February and April 2008 advertisements, costing almost €260,000, were placed in national newspapers in relation to the Green Paper on Pensions inviting participation at public seminars and giving notification of the closing date for receipt of submissions.
The back to school clothing and footwear allowance and the budget enquiry line were advertised in 2008 at a cost of €192,000 and €34,000, respectively. General advertising costs amounted to €418,000 to date in 2008.
In 2007, the amount spent on such activities was almost €1.4m. The main advertising campaigns in 2007 related to the introduction of all-Ireland free travel scheme, which has enabled citizens aged 66 or over to travel for free within Northern Ireland with effect from April 2007, which cost €400,000; the back to school clothing and footwear allowance, which cost €200,000; and the new half-rate carer's allowance, which has enabled considerable numbers of people to claim half of the carer's allowance payment in addition to another social welfare payment, which cost €310,000. These campaigns were advertised on a range of media including TV, radio, newspapers & magazines at a combined cost of €910,000.
In October and December 2007, advertisements were also placed in the newspapers inviting submissions from the public in relation to the Green Paper on Pensions; and in November 2007 on an equality review of the social welfare code at a combined cost of €268,000. In 2007, advertisements were placed in the print media to inform the public of the Department's PRSI emailing service and the budget 2008 enquiry line. General advertising costs amounted to €132,000 in 2007.
Details of the activities undertaken and the amount spent for the periods in question are available to the Deputies in tabular form.
119 Deputy Damien English asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her view on the fact that the average debt of people attending the Money Advice and Budgeting Service has increased by 50% in the first eight months of 2008; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34793/08]
130 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her views on the recently published Combat Poverty Agency Report aimed at tackling financial exclusion here; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34781/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 119 and 130 together.
The Money Advice and Budgeting Service (MABS) is the main Government funded service which provides assistance to people who are over-indebted and need help and advice in coping with debt problems. There are 53 independent companies nationwide with over 240 money advice staff operating the service. Almost €18 million has been provided in 2008 to assist the MABS in dealing with its workload.
Last year, MABS provided services to over 12,400 new clients throughout the country. To date this year almost 12,400 new clients have approached the service. The MABS National Telephone Helpline which was launched in October 2007 has dealt to date with approximately 9,000 calls. The statistics for 2008 indicate that the average debt owed by new clients when they first approached MABS was €11,600. In 2007 the average debt was €7,600.
The reasons for the debt difficulties that people encounter are complicated. The statistical information from MABSIS and research studies are key to understanding the nature and cause of over-indebtedness and in formulating appropriate policy responses.
People approach MABS with debt owed to a range of creditors. For example of the total debt owed by the 12,393 new clients that approached MABS to end of September 2008, 63% was owed to banks and financial institutions, 17 % to Credit Unions, 3 % to Utilities, and 2% to Moneylenders. The issues that give rise to over indebtedness for people are highly complex. Research such as the policy statement ‘Tackling Financial Exclusion in Ireland' published by the Combat Poverty Agency has an important contribution to make to increasing knowledge and understanding of the causes of debt and the meaning of financial exclusion for people on low incomes. The research shows that lack of information about money management can be a contributory factor in many cases. The cost and availability of credit for people on low incomes and the barriers they face in accessing mainstream and cheap forms of credit add to the difficulties people encounter in managing their finances.
My view is that MABS has a unique and expert contribution to make in meeting the needs of people with debt difficulties in today's society. This includes promoting greater awareness about household budgeting and shaping strategies, especially those of services providers, such as the banks and the credit unions, to ensure greater financial inclusion in Ireland. The MABS continues to work closely with the Financial Regulator in developing initiatives in this regard. For example, recently I launched an education programme on money management for Transition Year students which was developed by MABS and the Financial Regulator and will be rolled out to schools this autumn.
120 Deputy Noel J. Coonan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will develop and publish a national strategy to address energy poverty; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34774/08]
I share Deputies' concerns about the impact of rising fuel and energy costs. My own priority, as Minister for Social and Family Affairs, is to ensure that Government assistance is available to those who need our help the most, older people, those with disabilities or serious illnesses, and people on low incomes.
Government policy in recent years, has focused on increasing primary social welfare rates significantly to ensure that people on social welfare can meet their basic living costs, including heating costs throughout the year.
Since December 2001, overall inflation has increased by 28% while energy product prices have increased by 74%. However, increases in social welfare payments have been between 71% and 88% in the same period.
These payments are intended to cover general basic living costs, including some heating costs. In addition, the fuel allowance is paid to almost 300,000 people, while 357,000 receive electricity or gas allowances, at a combined cost of approximately €340 million.
Significant improvements have been made to both schemes in recent years:
The value of the fuel allowance has been doubled since 2005 to €18 per week or € 21.90 for recipients living in designated smokeless areas;
The number of weeks for which the fuel allowance is paid has been extended to 30; and
In January 2007 the number of units covered by the electricity allowance was increased from 1,800 to 2,400.
In August 2008 the value of the electricity and gas allowances under the household benefits package increased to €540 per annum and are payable throughout the year to over 357,000 pensioners, people with disabilities, and carer households towards their heating, light and cooking costs at an estimated overall scheme cost of €170m in 2008.
Budget 2009 increased the fuel allowance by a further €2 per week and extended the season by 2 weeks to 32 weeks. These improvements will bring the annual cost of the scheme to €205m. The Budget also provided for further increases in basic social welfare payments next year. The supplementary welfare allowance scheme can also be used to assist people, in certain circumstances, with specific heating needs due to infirmity or a particular medical condition.
Of course income support and advice, while very important, is only part of the answer in terms of reducing fuel poverty. Proper household insulation is absolutely vital. Initiatives such as the Warmer Homes Scheme, operated by Sustainable Energy Ireland, under the aegis of the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources have a very valuable role to play in that regard, as does funding from the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to improve the quality of existing local authority housing.
Co-ordination of the work of the relevant Departments and agencies is crucial to ensuring the effective delivery of a comprehensive approach to tackling fuel poverty. While various bodies have significantly increased the resources they are directing at fuel poverty initiatives in recent years, the establishment of an inter-departmental group on energy affordability has helped to ensure that we are working closer together to maximise the potential of our collective efforts.
The Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources has overarching responsibility for the energy portfolio. It has recently convened this inter- Departmental/Agency Group on Affordable Energy, co-chaired with the Office for Social Inclusion of the Department of Social and Family Affairs, to co-ordinate and drive Government policy in this area. The Group includes officials of the Departments of the Taoiseach, Finance, Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Health and Children, the Commission for Energy Regulation, Sustainable Energy Ireland, the ESB and Bord Gáis. The objective is to ensure shared understanding of the challenges and actions underway and to ensure a fully cohesive strategic approach to delivery of affordable energy initiatives and programmes. The Group will report to the Cabinet Committee on Social Inclusion, Children and Integration and the Cabinet Committee on Climate Change and Energy Security Infrastructure.
121 Deputy Olwyn Enright asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the number of applications in respect of child benefit waiting to be processed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34491/08]
137 Deputy Olwyn Enright asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the average length of time for processing applications in respect of child benefit; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34490/08]
152 Deputy Bernard Allen asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the reason for the delay in processing applications in respect of child benefit; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34492/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 121, 137 and 152 together.
There is no delay in processing the majority of Child Benefit applications. Awards on behalf of Irish born children are processed either automatically or in a partially automated way using the child's birth details when they are registered with the General Registrar's Office. The average processing time for these claims is 10 days. Payments on behalf of some 65,000 children were paid this way in 2007.
Currently there are delays in processing Child Benefit claims for children born outside Ireland who have come to live in Ireland with their parents, and also claims for children who reside in another EU member state but have an entitlement to Irish Child Benefit under EU regulations (non-resident children).
In the case of non-Irish born children resident in Ireland, these cases are slower to process as the customer must satisfy the Habitual Residency condition test and this may entail contacting employers, the Department of Justice and other relevant bodies to confirm their status in the state. The residence of the children in Ireland must also be confirmed. This additional complexity, combined with an increase in the volume of applications received in recent years, has led to arrears of claims to be processed, which is currently being addressed. There is a total of 7,500 such claims awaiting processing, with a further 1,600 cases where the Department is waiting on additional information to finalise the claims. Additional staff resources have been assigned to this area and it is envisaged that all claims on hand will be cleared in the early part of 2009. Average processing time for these claims at present is 10 months.
EU nationals who come to work in Ireland but whose families remain in their home country may have an entitlement to Family Benefits in Ireland under EU Regulation 1408/71.
Before payment of Child Benefit is made for these non-resident children it is necessary amongst other things, to contact the authorities in the country of residence of the children to confirm details and establish what, if any, family benefits are payable in the home country as this will determine entitlement to Irish payments. This process can take a number of months to complete in normal circumstances.
There are some 11,500 claims in respect of non-resident children on hand and awaiting finalising. These claims are being processed with the assistance of additional temporary staff recruited for this purpose. It is anticipated that these claims will be cleared during the first half of 2009. At this point it is taking an average of 18 months to process these claims to completion.
122 Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will reform the rent supplement scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34806/08]
The purpose of the rent supplement scheme is to provide short-term income support, to eligible people living in private rented accommodation whose means are insufficient to meet their accommodation costs and who do not have accommodation available to them from any other source. Over 45,500 rent supplements have been awarded since January 2008.
In recent years, a significant number of people have come to rely on rent supplement for extended periods. There are currently over 68,000 people in receipt of rent supplement, an increase of 14% since the end of December 2007. Almost 32,000 are getting a supplement for 18 months or more. For this reason, the rent supplement scheme has to be viewed in the context of overall housing policy, particularly in the case of long-term recipients.
The Government introduced new rental assistance arrangements which came into effect in 2005 and included the rental accommodation scheme (RAS). The RAS gives local authorities specific responsibility for meeting the longer-term housing needs of people receiving rent supplement for 18 months or more, on a phased implementation basis. Since 2005, over 8,300 rent supplement recipients have been transferred to RAS units and a further 7,500 have transferred to other social housing options, following their assessment for RAS.
Significant improvements to the means test for rent supplement were implemented in 2007 specifically to facilitate people returning to full-time work who had been accepted as eligible for accommodation under RAS. These measures are positive steps in assisting tenants in achieving a long-term housing solution for their needs.
Other improvements to the rent supplement means test were implemented in June 2007 providing for a gradual withdrawal of the supplement as hours of employment or earnings increase. Where a person has additional income in excess of the standard weekly rate of supplementary welfare allowance, the first €75 of such additional income together with 25% of any additional income above €75 is disregarded for means assessment purposes. This ensures that those returning to part-time work or participating in training schemes are better off as a result of taking up such an opportunity.
Rent supplement is calculated to ensure that an eligible person, after the payment of rent, has an income equal to the rate of supplementary welfare allowance appropriate to his or her family circumstances, less a minimum weekly contribution which each recipient is required to pay from his or her own resources. When last set in 2004, the minimum contribution represented approximately 10% of the minimum social welfare weekly payment rate. While social welfare payments have risen by nearly €70 per week since then, no upward adjustment has been made to the minimum contribution.
As part of Budget 2009, I announced my intention to increase the minimum contribution from €13 to €18 with effect from 1 January 2009 which will represent 8.8% of the basic social welfare weekly payment. It will also significantly reduce the differential between the contribution which rent supplement tenants pay and the contribution payable under the local authority differential rent scheme.
The fact that there are over 68,000 people receiving rent supplement and the fact that over 45,000 rent supplements were awarded since the beginning of this year indicate that the scheme is effective in meeting needs. However, I intend to keep the rent supplement scheme under review and the Department will continue working closely with the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government in ensuring that RAS meets its objective of catering for those on long term rent supplementation while enabling rent supplement to return to its original role of a short-term income support.
123 Deputy Liz McManus asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the outcome of her deliberations in respect of the proposed introduction of a new family payment to support children in low income families. [34884/08]
The Government discussion paper, "Proposals for Supporting Lone Parents," put forward proposals to tackle obstacles to employment for lone parents and other low income families. These included proposals for the expanded availability and range of education and training opportunities for lone parents; the extension of the National Employment Action Plan to focus on lone parents; focused provision of childcare; improved information services for lone parents and the introduction of a new social assistance payment for low income families with young children. Under the proposals the lone parenthood category of payment would no longer exist. Instead, a new payment would be made to all parents (living alone or with a partner), with young children, on low income. This new payment is currently being developed in the Department, taking into account the various issues raised in the consultation process.
Any proposed new payment scheme can only be introduced when the necessary co-ordinated supports and services are put in place on the ground by other relevant Departments and Agencies. This is why the Senior Officials Group on Social Inclusion has been tasked with bringing forward a plan on the key issues of childcare, education, training and activation measures.
The non-income recommendations contained in the discussion paper were examined in two areas: Coolock and Kilkenny. These studies, which took place between November 2007 and February 2008, were carried out to facilitate the development of the policy and operational details of the new scheme. The process involved both lone parents and qualified adults. It was carried out on a voluntary basis and the take-up was low.
The experience has however highlighted how both lone parents and qualified adults are not a homogenous group, are of different ages, have experienced different routes into their current situation and have different needs. Educational levels of those who participated were generally low, there was little or no engagement with FÁS, some participants intended to return to full or part-time work when their child was a few months old; others, however, had been out of the work force for a considerable period of time. Earnings from previous employment were generally low. For almost all of those intending to return to work affordable childcare was a critical issue.
The experience of this engagement process is feeding into the development of our approach to working with lone parents and qualified adults to support them into education, training and employment.
124 Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will index the social welfare payments to inflation in Budget 2009; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31346/08]
In the recent Budget, the Government's main priorities are:
to restore order and stability in the public finances;
to increase productivity and competitiveness; and
to protect those who are most vulnerable in our country.
In his speech on Budget Day, the Minister for Finance announced that the expected rate of inflation for 2009 would be 2.5%. In Budget 2009, all weekly income maintenance payments increased by amounts varying from 3% to 3.8%, thereby fully protecting people from inflation.
In addition, the Qualified Child Increase went up by €2 per week (8.3%), from €24 to €26. Other improvements include the following:
An extra €2 per week (an increase of 11.1%) on the fuel allowance, with payment also being made for an additional 2 weeks;
Improvements in the Family Income Supplement for low income working families; and
18,000 more families becoming eligible for the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance.
Even in these difficult economic times, the Government has given priority to ensuring that increases in the basic rates of social welfare payments will be ahead of the projected rate of inflation and in line with the wage increases agreed by the social partners in the 2nd phase of the National Pay Agreement.
125 Deputy Liz McManus asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her intentions to increase the rate of fuel allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34874/08]
165 Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will extend fuel allowance payments. [34847/08]
175 Deputy Emmet Stagg asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the changes she will make to the way the fuel allowance is paid; and her views on paying it in two lumps sums to people with oil-fired central heating, when that is the applicant’s wish, in order to ease the burden of large infrequent or once-off costs. [34868/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 125, 165 and 175 together.
The Department's role is to assist social welfare recipients with heating costs, both through their basic payments and through the household benefits package with fuel, electricity and gas allowances. These schemes have been improved significantly in recent years.
The national fuel allowance scheme assists householders on long-term social welfare or health service executive (HSE) payments with meeting the cost of their heating needs during the winter season. The allowance represents a contribution towards a person's normal heating expenses. It is not intended to meet those costs in full.
Electricity and gas allowances under the household benefits package, are payable throughout the year to 358,000 pensioners, people with disabilities, and carer households towards their heating, light and cooking costs at an estimated overall scheme cost of €159m in 2008. The value of the electricity/gas allowance was increased to €540 a year from 1 August 2008 in line with increases in the price of electricity and gas.
The supplementary welfare allowance scheme can also be used to assist people in certain circumstances with specific heating needs due to infirmity or a particular medical condition. Budget 2009 provided for an increase in fuel allowance of €2 to €20 (€23.90 in designated smokeless zones) per week from January 2009, benefiting almost 300,000 households. This is an 11% increase on the current rate of payment. The duration of the fuel season is being increased by 2 weeks from April 2009 bringing the total period for which fuel allowance is paid to 32 weeks. The additional annual cost of the fuel allowance measures is €30m bringing total annual expenditure on the scheme to €205m in 2009.
I will keep all aspects of the fuel scheme under review including the issue of a lump sum payment.
127 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her views on whether there is room in her Department’s budget for cuts, that would not affect the most vulnerable in society. [34844/08]
Social welfare spending has been prioritised in this Budget. Next year, total funding for the Department of Social and Family Affairs will be €19.6 billion. This represents an increase of €2.6 billion or 15.5% over the Estimates allocation for 2008. Over 1.7 million people and their dependents will benefit from this expenditure.
Unfortunately, it has been necessary to take some steps to reduce expenditure but these have been kept to the absolute minimum and applied in a careful manner. Where possible, associated measures will also be implemented to alleviate the impact on persons affected by the measures, especially social welfare dependent families. Most of the proposed measures relate to changes in the eligibility criteria for social insurance based schemes and, in these cases, the most vulnerable people will normally be entitled to a means tested social assistance payment instead.
It should also be noted that the Estimates published on Budget day provide for significant savings next year in various areas of the Department's administrative expenditure including travel and subsistence, postage, consultancy services and advertising.
128 Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the funding which has been allocated through her Department by the Citizens Information Board to the Sign Language Interpretation Service each year since its establishment in April 2007; the expenditure for each year respectively; the geographical area covered by the service; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34733/08]
Since its establishment in 2007, the Sign Language Interpretation Service has been allocated funding of €300,000 for each of the years 2007 and 2008 from the Citizens Information Board. The 2007 allocation was fully utilised by SLIS and it is expected that the full allocation for 2008 will also be required.
The service is a national service providing a limited number of sign language interpreters to meet the needs of a range of public bodies and the private sector. Since SLIS began operations in April 2007 it has dealt with over 1,000 bookings. An analysis of bookings indicates that educational interpreting for third level colleges accounted for the largest area of demand followed by health and legal interpreting.
129 Deputy Michael Noonan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her views on whether the back to school clothing and footwear allowance is sufficient to cover the cost of sending children to school; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34822/08]
166 Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the changes she will make to the qualifying criteria for the back to school clothing and footwear allowance. [34863/08]
171 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the number of additional families that will qualify for the back to school clothing and footwear scheme as a result of the increase in the income threshold compared to 2007; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35624/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 129, 166 and 171 together.
The back to school clothing and footwear allowance scheme provides a one-off payment to eligible families to assist with the extra costs when children start school each autumn. The allowance is not intended to cover the cost of sending children to school, rather, as the name suggests, it is intended to assist with clothing and footwear expenses.
A person may qualify for payment of an allowance if they are in receipt of a social welfare payment (including family income supplement), or Health Service Executive payment, are participating in an approved employment scheme or attending a recognised education and training course and have household income at or below certain set levels. The purpose of the household income limit is to ensure that the allowance is directed at those with the greatest need.
In Budget 2009, I have increased the income thresholds for entitlement to back to school clothing and footwear allowance by €50. This will bring the income limits for the allowance for parents with one child to €559.80 (for couples) and €406.30 for lone parents. This will enable an estimated 18,000 more families to benefit from the scheme.
In addition, I also propose to increase the amount of back to school clothing and footwear allowance by €215 to €520 per annum payable for eligible 18 year olds, as a compensatory measure where child benefit is no longer payable.
The rates of back to school clothing and footwear allowance have been increased significantly in recent years. Since 2005, the allowance has increased from €80 to €200 in respect of qualified children aged from 2 to 11 years and from €150 to €305 for those aged 12 to 22. These are increases of 150% and 103% respectively.
The number of children benefiting from the allowance increased from 161,000 in 2006 to over 180,000 in 2007. Current indications are that about 98,000 families with over 190,000 children benefited from the scheme in 2008 at a cost of over €48m. The increased numbers can be mainly attributed to improvements introduced in recent years and to the significant level of publicity given to this scheme in the media and through the other information services operated by the Department.
The improvements in BSCFA rates in recent years are very significant when viewed in the context of clothing and footwear price trends. According to the Consumer Price Index for September 2008, the overall cost of clothing and footwear has fallen by 5% over the past twelve months. Since December 2001, clothing and footwear costs have decreased by 22%.
I consider the back to school clothing and footwear allowance scheme to be an important support for parents at a time of particular financial strain. The improvements to the scheme in recent years and the improvements announced by me in Budget 2009, provide a major boost to meeting the financial costs associated with return to school for those who most need assistance.
132 Deputy Michael D. Higgins asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the assessment she has undertaken of the risk to defined benefit pension schemes of the actuarial funding standard; the discussions she has had with affected employers and employees; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34883/08]
156 Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her views on the claims from the pension industry that the regulatory regime is putting pressure on the sustainability of defined benefit pension schemes; and the action she will take to amend the funding standard or the rules in relation to the compulsory purchase of annuities at retirement. [34870/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 132 and 156 together.
The Pensions Act provides for a minimum Funding Standard which defined benefit pension schemes must meet on an ongoing basis. Generally speaking, the Standard requires that schemes maintain sufficient assets to enable them to discharge accrued liabilities in the event of a scheme winding up. Where schemes do not satisfy the Funding Standard the sponsors/trustees must submit a funding proposal to the Pensions Board to restore full funding.
In 2007, 81% of defined benefit schemes reporting to the Pensions Board passed the Funding Standard, with most of those failing the test of having a funding proposal in place to restore full funding. However, it is expected that the number of schemes failing the funding standard will increase significantly in the coming year, but the extent of the problem will not be fully apparent until schemes carry out end of scheme year actuarial assessments and report the results to the Pensions Board.
The operation of the Funding Standard is discussed in the Green Paper on pensions and any changes proposed will be announced in the context of the overall framework for pensions which the Government has indicated it will announce by the end of the year. However, given current market conditions and the difficulties these pose for schemes in trying to devise their funding proposals, I asked the Pensions Board to allow additional time for the preparation of funding proposals, as a temporary measure. This should provide schemes with sufficient time to deal with the issues in an orderly manner. In addition to this, the Pensions Board are continuing to consider the issues involved for schemes which are experiencing difficulties in returning to a fully-funded position. There is no doubt that the current situation is causing serious difficulties for defined benefit pension schemes. The Department is working with the Pensions Board and representative organisations to find ways to ease the pressure on schemes. However, in considering any amendments to the funding standard there is a very difficult balance to be struck between the long-term nature of pension savings and the need, as far as we can, to ensure the short-term security of the benefits already accrued by employees in a scheme.
133 Deputy Mary Upton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the outcome of the pilot studies in relation to support services and activation measures for lone parents. [34864/08]
149 Deputy Mary Upton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her plans regarding the ending of the cohabitation ban for lone parents in receipt of one parent family payment. [34867/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 133 and 149 together.
The Government discussion paper, "Proposals for Supporting Lone Parents," put forward proposals to tackle obstacles to employment for lone parents and other low income families.
Under the proposals the lone parenthood category of payment would no longer exist. Instead, a new payment would be made to all parents (living alone or with a partner), with young children, on low income.
The non-income recommendations contained in the discussion paper were examined in two areas: Coolock and Kilkenny. These studies, which took place between November 2007 and February 2008, were carried out to facilitate the development of the policy and operational details of the new scheme. The process involved both lone parents and qualified adults. It was carried out on a voluntary basis and the take-up was low.
The experience has however highlighted how both lone parents and qualified adults are not a homogenous group, are of different ages, have experienced different routes into their current situation and have different needs. Educational levels of those who participated were generally low, there was little or no engagement with FÁS, some participants intended to return to full or part-time work when their child was a few months old; others, however, had been out of the work force for a considerable period of time. Earnings from previous employment were generally low. In Kilkenny access to transport was an issue with regard to taking up employment or training, with those outside the city of Kilkenny having problems in this regard. For almost all of those intending to return to work affordable childcare is a critical issue.
The experience of this engagement process is feeding into the development of our approach to working with lone parents and qualified adults to support them into education, training and employment.
134 Deputy Eamon Gilmore asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the expected saving to the Exchequer from each of the various measures announced in Budget 2009 in respect of reducing entitlement to a jobseekers payment. [35627/08]
As the Deputy will be aware, Ireland's social welfare system is based on two quite different types of entitlement — a social insurance system for people who have paid sufficient PRSI contributions and a social assistance system for people without adequate contributions who have little or no household means of their own.
Social insurance is intended both to enable people to insure themselves against adverse life events such as illness or unemployment and to provide for their state pensions and other benefits, through contributions to the national Social Insurance Fund. Social insurance benefits are not means-tested. Instead, entitlement depends on having paid the required number of PRSI contributions relevant to the particular benefit you wish to claim.
For the past eleven years, the Social Insurance Fund has been in surplus, with more than sufficient income to the fund to cover the payments being made from it each year, without the State having to provide a subsidy. However, that is changing. As a result of further increases in the live register, expenditure is expected to exceed income to the Fund by over €200 million this year and about €900 million next year. Although these current deficits can be met from the accumulated surplus, it looks likely that the Exchequer may yet again have to subsidize expenditure from the Social Insurance Fund within a few years.
In that context, it is appropriate to look at some of the instances where people with a very limited or distant contribution record have been able to qualify for very significant benefits, regardless of their household income. Currently, people who have paid just 52 contributions in total can qualify for Jobseekers Benefit, Illness Benefit and Health and Safety Benefit.
This means, for example, that migrants or young workers who have only worked here for a total of one year are entitled to claim job seekers payments for 12 months, without having to satisfy a means test. This will change from next January, when the number of required paid contributions will be doubled to 104 for new claimants. This change is expected to result in savings of €7m in 2009 and €12.8m in 2010 on the Jobseekers Benefit scheme.
A further anomaly that exists at present is that some people, who were previously working part-time, can receive a higher rate of payment from these schemes than what they were actually earning whilst at work. Again, this is considered to be inappropriate — a disincentive to employment — and so, and from next January, this situation will be addressed by increasing the earnings thresholds which currently apply to the reduced or graduated rates of payment from €150 to €300 per week. This change is expected to result in savings of €2.3m in 2009 and €3.4m in 2010 on the Jobseekers Benefit scheme.
At present, it is necessary to have made 13 paid contributions in the relevant tax year in order to qualify for Illness Benefit. However, `this condition does not exist for Jobseekers Benefit, with the result that people who may not have paid PRSI contributions in the past number of years can qualify. Again, it is considered that this position does not adequately reflect the contribution-based rationale for social insurance and so from next January, new claimants for Jobseekers Benefit will be required to satisfy the same conditions as those on Illness Benefit and must have paid 13 contributions in the relevant tax year. This change is expected to result in savings of €2.2m in 2009 and €5.3m in 2010 on the Jobseekers Benefit scheme.
The other two changes being made to Jobseekers Benefit relate to the duration of the payment. At present, people who have 260 or more paid social insurance contributions can receive Jobseekers Benefit for up to 15 months. As of today, this is being limited to 12 months for current claimants with less than six months duration on the scheme as well as all new claimants. This change is expected to result in savings of €37m in 2009 and €61m in 2010 on the Jobseekers Benefit scheme. Where the claimant has less than 260 paid contributions, the maximum duration of Jobseekers Benefit will be 9 months (instead of 12 months) if the claimant currently has been in receipt of benefit for less than three months and in respect of all new claimants. This change is expected to result in savings of €16m in 2009 and €25m in 2010 on the Jobseekers Benefit scheme.
In summary, new claimants for Jobseekers Benefit will in future have to have paid a total of at least 104 contributions to the Social Insurance Fund, with at least 13 of these paid in the relevant tax year. The rate of payment will more closely reflect what the individual was earning prior to becoming unemployed and the duration of the payment will be either 12 or 9 months depending on the number of social insurance contributions they have made in the past.
The savings referred to above will accrue to the Social Insurance Fund rather than directly to the Exchequer.
I would like to stress that people who will be affected by these changes will be able to claim Jobseekers Allowance or Supplementary Welfare Allowance instead, if they have limited means. The maximum rate of these two schemes is paid at the same rate as Jobseekers Benefit.
136 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the steps she will to take by way of rent or income support in respect of families who find themselves in a negative equity and lower income situation arising from the economic downturn; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34743/08]
The supplementary welfare allowance scheme provides for a weekly or monthly supplement to be paid in respect of rent or mortgage interest to any person in the State whose means are insufficient to meet their needs.
The purpose of the rent supplement scheme is to provide short-term income support, to eligible people living in private rented accommodation whose means are insufficient to meet their accommodation costs and who do not have accommodation available to them from any other source. There are over 68,000 people in receipt of rent supplement of which almost 32,000 are getting a supplement for 18 months or more. Numbers on rent supplement have increased by 14% since the end of December 2007.
Similarly, mortgage interest supplement provides short-term income support to eligible people who are unable to meet their mortgage interest repayments in respect of a house which is their sole place of residence. The supplement assists with the interest portion of the mortgage repayments only. There are currently 6,600 people in receipt of mortgage interest supplement, a 60% increase on the numbers receiving the supplement at the end of December 2007.
In recent years, a significant number of people have come to rely on rent supplement for extended periods, including people on local authority housing waiting lists. The scheme was not designed to meet long-term ongoing housing needs. One of the measures introduced to address the issue of long-term rent supplementation is the Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) which gives local authorities specific responsibility for meeting the long-term housing needs of people receiving rent supplement for eighteen months or more. Over 8,300 tenants have been transferred from the rent supplement scheme to RAS since 2005 and a further 7,500 rent supplement recipients were provided with social housing following their assessment for RAS.
Provision was made in 2007 to enable people on rent supplement and accepted as eligible for accommodation under RAS to return to full-time work, without losing the entire rent supplement payment.
Significant improvements to the means test for rent and mortgage interest supplement were implemented in 2007. The assessment of means for rent and mortgage interest supplement now provides for a gradual withdrawal of payment as hours of employment or earnings increase. Those availing of part-time employment and/or training opportunities can continue to receive rent or mortgage interest supplement subject to their satisfying the standard means assessment rules. Since June 2007, where a person has additional income in excess of the standard weekly rate of supplementary welfare allowance, the first €75 of such additional income together with 25% of any additional income above €75 is disregarded for means assessment purposes. This ensures that those returning to work or participating in training schemes are better off as a result of taking up such an opportunity.
These measures are positive steps in assisting tenants in achieving a long-term housing solution for their needs while also increasing the financial return from employment for those returning to work or moving to full-time employment.
Overall, I am satisfied that the current rent and mortgage interest supplement scheme provides an adequate short-term "safety net" within the overall social welfare system to ensure that people do not suffer hardship due to loss of employment. Nonetheless I intend to keep the schemes under review to ensure that they meet the objective of catering for those who require assistance on a short-term basis while long-term housing needs are dealt with in a more appropriate manner.
138 Deputy Bernard Allen asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the number of unauthorised payments made in respect of jobseeker’s allowance and jobseeker’s benefit in each local area social welfare office; the average length of processing time of same; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34493/08]
151 Deputy Brian O’Shea asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the action she has taken to reduce the waiting times for jobseeker payments at local social welfare offices; the targets that are in place for processing times and the extent to which these are currently being met. [34881/08]
177 Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the action she is taking to augment staffing levels in her Department to deal with the increased demand from the growing number of new entrants onto the live register. [34872/08]
441 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the number of claims in respect of jobseekers allowance and jobseekers benefit being processed; the way that this compares to the number of applicants processed during the same week in 2006 and 2007; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34852/08]
442 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the average waiting time of applicants for jobseekers allowance and jobseekers benefit to be processed; the way this compares to the average waiting time in the same week in 2006 and in 2007; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34853/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 138, 151, 177, 441 and 442 together.
The Department is committed to providing a high quality service to all its customers. This includes ensuring that applications are processed and that decisions on entitlement are issued as expeditiously as possible having regard to the eligibility conditions which apply. These conditions vary between the two jobseeker schemes and involve, among other things, the need to establish the person's social insurance record, establish the person's identity or their place of habitual residence and to assess means where appropriate. In some cases delays arise where the person fails to supply all pertinent information in support of their application.
The standard for claim processing is 70% of jobseekers allowance claims and 85% of jobseekers benefit claims to be processed in 2 weeks. Due to the sharp rise in the numbers claiming a jobseeker's payment, this standard is not being met. The average time for applications processed in September was 3 weeks for jobseekers benefit claims and 6 weeks for jobseekers allowance claims. This compares to 2 weeks for jobseekers benefit and 3 weeks for jobseekers allowance claims in September 2006 and September 2007.
Deputies will be aware that anyone who is under financial pressure while awaiting a decision on their claim for a jobseekers payment can apply for Supplementary Welfare Allowance which is subject to a means test and other qualifying conditions.
The Department delivers a frontline service through a network of 61 Local Offices and 64 Branch Offices countrywide. Local Offices are staffed by civil servants whereas the Branch Offices operate under a contract for service. All decisions on claims are made in the Local Office.
The overall performance in any individual office in processing claims can be adversely affected by a wide variety of factors; including increased inflow of claims, staff vacancies and the duration of such vacancies and the turnover of staff in the office.
The Department has put a range of measures in place to deal with the extra workload arising from the increase in the Live Register. These include:
additional posts assigned from other parts of the Dept; — use of temporary staff to fill vacancies;
extension of temporary staff contracts in certain offices;
increased overtime; and
prioritisation of work.
These measures are being reviewed on a continuous basis.
A total of 21,437 jobseekers benefit claims and 10,224 jobseekers allowance claims were processed in September 2008. The corresponding figures for 2006 and 2007 are as follows:

139 Deputy James Bannon asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the State agencies within her Department’s remit which are under review; when same will be completed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34494/08]
143 Deputy Alan Shatter asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the State agencies within her Department’s remit under review; when same will be completed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34836/08]
It is proposed to take Questions Nos. 139 and 143 together.
As Deputies will be aware, a review of the Combat Poverty Agency was undertaken on foot of a Government decision on the 6th of June 2007. The purpose of the review was to examine the role of the Agency in light of the emergence since 1986 of comprehensive strategies and new institutional arrangements to promote social inclusion (such as the Cabinet Committee on Social Inclusion, the Office for Social Inclusion and the voluntary pillar in Social Partnership).
The Government, having considered the review report, has decided to integrate the Combat Poverty Agency with the Office for Social Inclusion within the Department of Social and Family Affairs. It is not my intention that Combat Poverty will simply be absorbed into the Office for Social Inclusion in its existing form. Rather a new strengthened division will be created which will make the best use of the considerable experience and expertise of the staff of both existing bodies and will seek to address the weaknesses identified by the Review in relation to both. I believe that this new division will provide a stronger voice for those affected by poverty and social inclusion issues.
I am conscious of the concerns about the need for independent scrutiny of public policy that have been expressed by some interest groups. I absolutely agree that independent critique is very important and this move is no way intended to reduce the scope for such work.
As the review report notes, the function of independent reporting on poverty is no longer as dependent on Combat Poverty as it was in earlier years. This is due for example to the emergence of other independent data sources such as the statistics on poverty reported by the CSO, and independent analysis by bodies such as the ESRI and NESC and on the international front by the EU and OECD. And of course, Ireland is well-served by the social partners, and a wide range of NGOs and other groups who have a strong voice in public debate about poverty and related issues.
Procedures will be put in place to ensure that the views of these and other stakeholders, including people experiencing poverty, continue to be available to Government in developing and monitoring the social inclusion strategies.
Combining two organisations will naturally result in savings to the Exchequer, for example, in the areas of accommodation and support services. The extent and timing of savings will be identified and dealt with as part of the implementation of the Government decision which is underway.
140 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her view of the Combat Poverty Agency Report entitled, Tackling Health Inequalities — An All-Ireland Approach to Social Determinants; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34816/08]
This report, Tackling Health Inequalities — A Social Determinants Approach, shows how social, economic and environmental conditions play a major role in determining health in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Combat Poverty and the Institute of Public Health in Ireland jointly published this all-Ireland report, which makes a major contribution to our understanding of this subject. Full account of the findings of the report will be taken in future policy development.
Reducing health inequalities caused by social and economic conditions requires a comprehensive strategy across all relevant policy areas to reduce and in time eliminate poverty. Such a strategy is provided for in the National Action Plan for social inclusion, 2007 to 2016 and in a dedicated chapter on social inclusion in the National Development Plan.
Key objectives include increasing employment participation which provides the main path out of poverty, and steadily improving income support in real terms and access to essential services. The National Action Plan on inclusion contains 12 high level goals and over 150 targets to meet these broad objectives.
The overall goal of the NAPinclusion is to reduce the proportion of the population experiencing consistent poverty to between 2% and 4% by 2012, with the aim of eliminating consistent poverty by 2016. The latest results from the EU Survey on Income and Living Conditions, released last November, indicate that the Government is on target to achieve this goal. It showed that the rate of consistent poverty in the population in 2006 was 6.5 per cent, down from 7.0 per cent in 2005 and 8.2 per cent in 2003.
Progress in implementing the plan and meeting its goals and targets will, in light of this report, significantly help also to reduce health inequalities.
141 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the proposals she has made to Government to merge the employment services section of FÁS with her Department. [34859/08]
There are no plans to merge the Employment Support Services of FÁS with the Department of Social and Family Affairs. FÁS and the Department work together in a complementary way and I have not made any such proposals to the Government on behalf of people on social welfare payments.
A high degree of cooperation and coordination exists at both policy and operational level between the Department of Social and Family Affairs and FÁS. Both sides operate under a memorandum of understanding which is updated periodically. Senior officials of the department hold regular joint meetings with FÁS and the Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment. There are also regular meetings between officials of the Department and FÁS at regional and local level.
The Department works closely with FÁS in providing opportunities for people on social welfare to access the range of training and employment services afforded by that organisation. An important area of this cooperation is in relation to the joint National Employment Action Plan whereby people are referred to FÁS when they reach 3 months on the live register.
Provision has also been made in the National Development Plan for a Social and Economic Participation Programme aimed at all people of working age on welfare regardless of the circumstances that led them to require income maintenance. The Activation sub-programme of the National Development Plan involves the Department of Social and Family Affairs, in co-operation with the relevant agencies such as FÁS, VECs, HSE and other local agencies engaging on an individual case basis with those people on welfare who are not progressing into employment or accessing training or employment opportunities.
The main element of the National Development Plans Activation sub-programme is to expand the Department's facilitator service with each facilitator having a defined work programme. A "Disability Employment Project" commenced in 2008 under the European Social Fund; this involves the Department working with FÁS and other agencies to support people with Disabilities in reaching their potential.
These initiatives are being undertaken in response to the Department's recognition that social welfare payments require to be supplemented by activation measures to encourage and support social welfare recipients of working age to reduce their dependency on social welfare payments.
I am satisfied that the existing arrangements with FÁS together with the supporting activation measures undertaken by the Department ensure that the social and economic progression of those most marginalised are being adequately addressed.
144 Deputy Ciarán Lynch asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the work to improve information on the profile of existing and new entrants to the live register. [34879/08]
The Department collects information from people on the Live Register to establish entitlement to payments, to ensure that conditions for receipt of payment continue to be satisfied and to assist in the activation of those who are not progressing into employment or accessing training opportunities.
The Live Register is profiled by scheme type, gender, age, duration on the Live Register, nationality, occupations, regions and local office. Composition of the Live Register can also be profiled with reference to whether or not a registrant receives a payment and by reasons for not receiving a payment.
In September 2006 the Department and the ERSI initiated a major profiling study of the Live Register, this following on from earlier research in this area. Its aim is to develop a model which could facilitate the introduction of a system to identify people at the point when they first register as unemployed who are at risk of becoming long-term unemployed. Over a 13 week period from 11 September 2006, additional profile information was gathered nationally, on a voluntary basis, from 45,000 customers who made unemployment claims. Since then, the claim status of each of these customers has been monitored by the project team in the Department.
A profiling system would facilitate early, targeted interventions for those who need them most, while not devoting resources to providing interventions to those who will progress of their own accord. Introducing a profiling system would be a major undertaking, requiring primary legislation and substantial changes in procedures and schemes, both within the Department of Social and Family Affairs and in other agencies that provide services to people on social welfare. The scale of change is such that it would necessarily take some to time to implement.
The final report from the ESRI is due at the end of 2008. When the report is received, it will receive detailed consideration.
145 Deputy Deirdre Clune asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if there has been an increase in the number of families applying for the family income supplement in the past six months; if her Department has estimates for the number of families entitled to FIS not currently receiving this supplement; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34854/08]
The Department has consistently publicised the FIS scheme in order to maximise uptake by qualified families. Significant improvements in the qualifying income limits and ongoing awareness campaigns have resulted in a strong upward trend in the levels of claims received.
There are currently some 26,000 people in receipt of a weekly FIS payment. In 2007 the Department received 36,900 new and renewal FIS claims, compared to 33,000 in 2006 and 23,000 in 2005 — an increase of over 60% on 2005 and 11% on 2006. In the first 9 months of 2008 almost 33,100 claims were received compared to 29,500 in the same period in 2007 — an increase of over 14%.
With regard to the level of take up, it is not possible to estimate from administrative sources the number of families who would be eligible but do not apply for their FIS entitlements. However, the department has commissioned a research project to examine factors behind the level of take up for the scheme. I expect this project to be completed in the coming months.
146 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the reason for her decision not to increase the maximum rents allowed under rent supplement following the recent review. [34858/08]
Rent supplement is administered on behalf of the Department by the Health Service Executive as part of the supplementary welfare allowance scheme. Rent supplement is subject to a limit on the amount of rent that a person may incur. Rent limits are set at levels that enable the different eligible household types to secure and retain basic suitable rented accommodation, having regard to the different rental market conditions that prevail in various parts of the State. The objective is to ensure that rent supplement is not paid in respect of overly expensive accommodation having regard to the size of the household.
Setting maximum rent limits higher than are justified by the open market would have a distorting effect on the rental market, leading to a more general rise in rent levels. This in turn would worsen the affordability of rental accommodation unnecessarily, with particular negative impact for those tenants on lower incomes.
A review of rent limits was undertaken earlier this year. The review was informed by analysis of data sourced from the Private Residential Tenancies Board, the Central Statistics Office (CSO), the Community Welfare Service and by the views of statutory and voluntary agencies working in this area.
Data provided by the CSO indicates that the increase in private rent levels began to decelerate at the beginning of 2008 and rent levels declined by almost 5% by August of this year. This deceleration in rent levels is also reflected in the Daft.ie rental reports where a decrease of over 5% was reported in the first half of 2008. It is also reported that the supply of available rental accommodation has more than doubled in the last year.
Given the current downward trend in private rent levels and the fact that the overall housing market is currently in a period of adjustment, increasing rent limits in the rent supplement scheme would send an inappropriate signal to the market where a third or so of private sector tenants receive rent supplement. In these circumstances, it was decided to retain rent limits at their current levels.
There is no hard evidence at this time that the prescribed upper limits on rent levels supported under the rent supplement scheme are having a detrimental impact on the ability of eligible tenants generally to secure suitable rented accommodation to meet their needs. There are currently over 68,200 rent supplements in payment. Over 45,500 rent supplements have been awarded since January 2008. This suggests that the rent limits are set at reasonable levels at present.
Rent levels will continue to be monitored particularly for households who may find it difficult to secure or retain accommodation within the limits in certain areas. The position will be reviewed in 2009 when the results of the latest Private Rented Index report published by the CSO will be analysed for impact on rent limits.
The Health Service Executive has flexibility to award rent supplement above or below rent limits, having regard to local rent levels or to meet the particular needs of an individual. These discretionary powers ensure that individuals with particular needs can be accommodated within the scheme and specifically protects against homelessness.
147 Deputy Jan O’Sullivan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the actions she has taken to ensure that the loss of sensitive data that occurred during an audit of her Department is never repeated; the extent of the loss to the clients affected; the liabilities that arise for the State as a result of losing this data; her plans to issue new PPS numbers to the persons affected; if a criminal investigation has been conducted; the extent of her Department’s involvement in this; the disciplinary action that has occurred as a result of the theft; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34871/08]
The Department was notified in April 2007 that a laptop, belonging to the C&AG, had been taken from our offices. The theft was immediately reported to the Gardaí. Some 16 months later, in early August, the Department was informed that the laptop contained personal data relating to social welfare customers.
The Department reported this matter to the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation (which deals with Computer Crime) and sought advice and guidance in that regard. I am not in a position to confirm the status of any criminal investigation.
The office of the C&AG was provided with access to the Department's records to enable them to carry out audits of our schemes. The data, which was stored in encoded format on our internal ICT network, was downloaded by a member of the C&AG audit team to a laptop where it was decoded. The decoded data was on the laptop when it went missing.
It is estimated that the laptop in question contained the records of 380,000 customers. The records contained personal information, including Name, PPSN, Address, Pay Amount and other personal information such as marital status, date of birth etc. They also contained bank account details in respect of those customers whose payments were made directly into their bank accounts during the periods in question.
The information contained on the laptop, alone, would not be sufficient to access public services. Public bodies, employers and others who are authorised to use the PPS Number are required to exercise diligence in properly identifying those whom they employ or with whom they transact business. Additional evidence of identity such as photographic ID, signature, mother's birth surname, PIN, password, etc. is required to fulfil this purpose.
In view of the time period that has elapsed and the fact that there is no evidence that the information has been misused or compromised in any way, the Department does not consider it necessary or appropriate to issue new PPS numbers to all of the customers affected. The Department has facilitated requests from individual customers to have their PPS Numbers changed. From contacts with the Gardaí, various other Government and payment institutions there is no indication of any systematic misuse of the information contained on the laptop in the 17 months since the theft occurred. Accordingly, the question of compensation does not arise as there is no evidence of any injury, loss or damage having been suffered arising from this incident.
Since being notified of the contents of the laptop on 1 August, 2008, the Department moved swiftly to respond to the incident and has taken all reasonable steps to minimise the concerns of the customers whose records were contained on it. Letters issued to customers informing them of the incident, a helpline was set up to answer any enquiries arising from this matter, an email address and a Post Office Box Number was provided for written enquiries. In addition, the Department engaged with the C&AG, the Data Protection Commissioner, An Post, banks and other financial institutions.
The Department has a programme of continuous development and deployment of measures to enhance data security. Since this incident came to light, the Department has further reviewed and enhanced its protocols in relation to the transfer of data to third parties, including the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG). All bulk data is now transferred in an encrypted format, in accordance with the Department's ‘External Party Electronic Data Transfer Policy'.
The Department's policy is that sensitive data should not be stored on laptops. However, in the event that there is no alternative to local storage, all sensitive data must be appropriately secured. All new laptops are issued with encryption software. The Department is currently arranging a recall of its current stock of laptops to install encryption software. This process is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
148 Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the instructions given by her or her officials to community welfare officers in respect of refusing mortgage interest supplement in the circumstances in which the applicant had overstated their income. [34885/08]
170 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the changes she will make to the qualifying criteria for private mortgage interest supplement. [34860/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 148 and 170 together.
The supplementary welfare allowance scheme provides for a weekly or monthly supplement to be paid in respect of mortgage interest. The purpose of the mortgage interest supplement is to provide short term income support to eligible people who are unable to meet their mortgage interest repayments in respect of a house which is their sole place of residence. The supplement assists with the interest portion of the mortgage repayments only. The scheme is administered by the community welfare service of the Health Service Executive on behalf of the Department.
One of the statutory conditions for receipt of mortgage interest supplement is that, in the opinion of the HSE, the person must have been in a position, at the time the loan agreement was entered into, to meet the repayments under that agreement (Article 10(1)(b)(i) of the Social Welfare (Consolidated Supplementary Welfare Allowance) Regulations 2007). Accordingly, in determining entitlement to mortgage interest supplement, a community welfare officer may examine the original loan application, supporting documentation and records of repayments in order to assess the capacity of the person to make a long-term commitment to repayment of the loan in question. It is a matter for the community welfare officer to a make a decision on entitlement based on all of the facts of the case. There is a right of appeal against the decision of the community welfare officer to a Health Service Executive Appeals Officer and thereafter to the Chief Appeals Officer of the Department.
The supplement is normally calculated to ensure that a person, after the payment of mortgage interest, has an income equal to the rate of supplementary welfare allowance, appropriate to their family circumstances, less a minimum contribution which recipients are required to pay from their own resources.
The existing mortgage interest supplement assessment provides for a gradual withdrawal of payment as hours of employment or earnings increase. In recent years improvements have been made to the means test to encourage eligible people to engage in employment without losing their entire mortgage interest supplement.
Those availing of part-time employment and/or training opportunities can continue to receive mortgage interest supplement subject to their satisfying the standard means assessment rules. Since June 2007, where a person has additional income in excess of the standard weekly rate of supplementary welfare allowance, the first €75 of such additional income together with 25% of any additional income above €75 is disregarded for means assessment purposes. This ensures that those returning to work or participating in training schemes are better off as a result of taking up such an opportunity.
Mortgage interest supplement recipients are required to make a minimum contribution towards the cost of their accommodation costs. When last set in 2004, the contribution represented approximately 10% of the minimum social welfare weekly payment rate. While basic social welfare rates of payment have risen by nearly €70 per week since then, no upward adjustment has been made to the minimum contribution. As part of Budget 2009 measures, I announced my intention to increase the minimum contribution from €13 to €18 with effect from 1 January 2009. This contribution which represents 8.8% of the basic social welfare weekly payment is significantly less than the minimum rent paid by many local authority tenants.
There are currently 6,600 people in receipt of mortgage interest supplement, a 60% increase on the numbers receiving the supplement at the end of December 2007.
The mortgage interest supplement schemes provide an adequate short-term "safety net" within the overall social welfare system to ensure that people do not suffer hardship due to loss of employment. I do not consider that any further changes in eligibility criteria are required at this time. However the scheme will be kept under review to ensure that it meets the objective of catering for those who require assistance on a short-term basis.
150 Deputy Arthur Morgan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the bodies that she has met to discuss their pre-Budget submissions in relation to her Department’s expenditure. [34850/08]
I hosted the Pre Budget Forum on 19 September 2008. Representatives from 28 organisations including the unemployed, disabled, carers, women's issues, pensioners, widows, lone parents and family/marriage counselling services attended. In total submissions were received from 29 organisations across the community and voluntary sector. The submissions inform the development of policy within the Department.
The Forum provides a useful setting where the various organisations can present their priorities, listen to the concerns of the other organisations, and get an overview of the competing demands being made on the Department.
153 Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her plans to ensure that the definition of an orphan under social welfare legislation is amended in order that it includes the scenario in which a child has no parent available to them due to the incarceration of their parent or parents. [34873/08]
The Guardians' payment schemes allow for the provision of a weekly allowance to a guardian of a child who has either been orphaned or whose parents have abandoned and failed to provide for the child. Section 2(1) of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act, 2005 defines an orphan as a qualified child—
a. both of whose parents are dead, or
b. one of whose parents is dead or unknown or has abandoned and failed to provide for the child, as the case may be, and whose other parent—
i. is unknown, or
ii. has abandoned and failed to provide for the child, where that child is not residing with a parent, adoptive parent or step-parent.
All claims for Guardian's payment are decided by a Deciding Officer appointed by the Minister under Section 299 of the Social Welfare (Consolidation) Act, 2005. Prior to decision, claims are referred to a Social Welfare Inspector in order to establish if the conditions of entitlement are fulfilled. The Social Welfare Inspector completes a report on all relevant issues and this report is then referred to the Deciding Officer to make a decision on the claim.
A parent's committal to prison alone is not considered a sufficient qualifying criterion to satisfy the legislative definition of orphan. Each case is decided based on the individual circumstances. Factors such as the length of incarceration, the previous and continuing level of contact with the child and the level of the parents' involvement in the welfare of the child are among the factors taken into account in determining if the legislative provision relating to abandonment and failure to provide is satisfied.
Where a child whose parent/s have been incarcerated is cared for by another person for the period of that incarceration and their carer is in receipt of a social welfare payment (other than a Guardian's payment), an increase for a qualified child may be payable for each child.
In light of the above, I do not propose to amend the current definition of an orphan.
154 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the steps she will take to facilitate women, forced out of employment due to the marriage rule, to avail of contributory pensions; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34489/08]
The Government is anxious to ensure that as many people as possible can be accommodated within the social welfare pensions system, with due regard being paid to the contributory principle underlying entitlement to contributory payments and, in the case of non-contributory payments, the need to ensure that resources are directed to those who are most in need. Over the last 10 years, means tests have been improved and qualifying conditions for contributory payments made easier.
Many women, in both the private and the public sector, left employment on marriage because they were required to or because that was the societal norm at the time. Civil servants who left the workforce through the operation of the marriage bar were not insured for social welfare pension purposes. Accordingly, the loss of pension rights in their case relates more to their occupational position rather than social welfare pension entitlements.
That said, the Green Paper on Pensions, includes a full discussion on the social welfare pension position of women who had to resign due to the marriage bar. Decisions in relation to those who are not at present receiving support through the social welfare system, including those who had to leave employment on marriage, will be considered in that context. It is expected that the policy framework will be finalised by the end of the year.
155 Deputy Emmet Stagg asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will use her discretion to make a favourable decision on an application for carer’s benefit by a person (details supplied) who was ill and distressed prior to the time the application was made; her views on changing the rules in respect of carer’s benefit in order that persons otherwise qualified and who make a late application will be granted the payment but only paid from the date the application is made; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35299/08]
The legislative provisions relating to late claims for social welfare payments, including carer's benefit, are set out in Section 241 of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005 and in Regulations made under that section. These provisions set out the times within which a person must claim, the disqualifications which apply where a late claim is made and the circumstances in which the time limits may be extended.
The legislation provides for payment to be made on foot of late claims in the case of a range of schemes for a period of 6 months prior to the date of claim provided there was good cause for the late claim which can be due to:
incorrect information having been given by the Department, or
illness or a force majeure prevented a person from claiming earlier or,
the person is dependent on the arrears of payment to relieve financial hardship.
An application for carer's benefit should be made eight weeks before the claimant intends to leave employment in order that his/her eligibility can be assessed prior to leaving employment. A late claim will be accepted for up to eight weeks after caring has commenced where an emergency caring situation has arisen and the claimant had to take up caring duties immediately. A claim later than eight weeks may be accepted at the discretion of the Deciding Officer where s/he considers there was good cause throughout the period of delay, but payment cannot be made in respect of a period more than 6 months prior to the date of claim.
It is generally accepted that there is an obligation on people to claim their social welfare entitlements in time. However, cases will inevitably arise where they fail to do so and the legislative provisions are designed to cater for such situations. I am satisfied that the current provisions strike a reasonable balance between, on the one hand, the need to exercise supervision and control of claims and, on the other hand, the need for appropriate recognition to be given to cases of genuine hardship or difficulty.
With regard to the person to whom the Deputy refers, I have asked that the details of the particular case be re-examined and I will revert to the Deputy as soon as possible.
157 Deputy Seán Barrett asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the measures that prevent workers continuing to claim jobseeker’s allowance or jobseeker’s benefit, despite not being resident here; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34497/08]
Up until recently people signing for a jobseekers payment were offered a choice of payment method. They could collect it at a post office of their choice or have it paid directly to their bank or building society account.
Late last year there were indications that a number of foreign jobseekers had returned to their own country but were continuing to have their payment made by Electronic Funds Transfer to their bank account. Officials in the Department carried out an investigation of non-Irish national jobseekers and found that a significant number of them were no longer living at their stated address or were claiming a level of benefit to which they were not entitled. This is clearly an abuse of our welfare system and threatens the public finances at a time when all budgets are under pressure.
The Department therefore decided that from 7 July 2008, all new jobseekers must be paid at a post office. Each weekly payment at a post office is available only for a limited period and if not collected within a matter of a few days it reverts to the Department. In such situation, the person is required to attend at the local social welfare office to have payment reinstated.
The measures that have been put in place to restrict the availability of payment directly to a bank account virtually eliminates the possibility of a person being absent from the country while claiming a jobseekers payment and should have the effect of minimising the risk of abuse of the system and overpayment of benefits.
Officials in the Department will be intensifying their control activities over the coming months in order to ensure that only those who have an entitlement are paid the appropriate amount. They will monitor residency for both non-Irish nationals and Irish people who are signing on through regular home visits by Inspectors. They will also be monitoring people who having been receiving payment to a bank account prior to the introduction of these new arrangements, to ensure that they continue to satisfy the conditions for payment.
158 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the qualifying criteria and the new payment scheme in respect of jobseeker’s benefit; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35623/08]
As the Deputy will be aware, Ireland's social welfare system is based on two quite different types of entitlement — a social insurance system for people who have paid sufficient PRSI contributions and a social assistance system for people without adequate contributions who have little or no household means of their own.
Social insurance is intended both to enable people to insure themselves against adverse life events such as illness or unemployment and to provide for their state pensions and other benefits, through contributions to the national Social Insurance Fund. Social insurance benefits are not means-tested. Instead, entitlement depends on having paid the required number of PRSI contributions relevant to the particular benefit you wish to claim.
For the past eleven years, the Social Insurance Fund has been in surplus, with more than sufficient income to the fund to cover the payments being made from it each year, without the State having to provide a subsidy. However, that is changing. As a result of further increases in the live register, expenditure is expected to exceed income to the Fund by over €200 million this year and about €900 million next year. Although these current deficits can be met from the accumulated surplus, it looks likely that the Exchequer may yet again have to subsidize expenditure from the Social Insurance Fund within a few years.
In that context, it is appropriate to look at some of the instances where people with a very limited or distant contribution record have been able to qualify for very significant benefits, regardless of their household income.
Currently, people who have paid just 52 contributions in total can qualify for jobseekers benefit, illness benefit and health and safety benefit. This means, for example, that migrants or young workers who have only worked here for a total of one year are entitled to claim jobseekers payments for 12 months, without having to satisfy a means test. This will change from next January, when the number of required paid contributions will be doubled to 104 for new claimants.
A further anomaly that exists at present is that some people, who were previously working part-time, can receive a higher rate of payment from these schemes than what they were actually earning whilst at work. Again, this is considered to be inappropriate — a disincentive to employment — and so, and from next January, this situation will be addressed by increasing the earnings thresholds which currently apply to the reduced or graduated rates of payment from €150 to €300 per week.
At present, it is necessary to have made 13 paid contributions in the relevant tax year in order to qualify for illness benefit. However, this condition does not exist for jobseekers benefit, with the result that people who may not have paid PRSI contributions in the past number of years can qualify. Again, it is considered that this position does not adequately reflect the contribution-based rationale for social insurance and so from next January, new claimants for jobseekers benefit will be required to satisfy the same conditions as those on illness benefit and must have paid 13 contributions in the relevant tax year.
The other two changes being made to jobseekers benefit relate to the duration of the payment. At present, people who have 260 or more paid social insurance contributions can receive jobseekers benefit for up to 15 months. As of today, this is being limited to 12 months for current claimants with less than six months duration on the scheme as well as all new claimants. Where the claimant has less than 260 paid contributions, the maximum duration of jobseekers benefit will be 9 months (instead of 12 months) if the claimant currently has been in receipt of benefit for less than three months and in respect of all new claimants.
In summary, new claimants for jobseekers benefit will in future have to have paid a total of at least 104 contributions to the Social Insurance Fund, with at least 13 of these paid in the relevant tax year. The rate of payment will more closely reflect what the individual was earning prior to becoming unemployed and the duration of the payment will be either 12 or 9 months depending on the number of social insurance contributions they have made in the past.
Taken together, these changes to jobseekers, illness and health & safety benefits are expected to generate €72.7 million in savings next year and €119 million a year from 2010 on.
I would like to stress that people who will be affected by these changes will be able to claim jobseeker's allowance or supplementary welfare allowance instead, if they have limited means. The maximum rate of these two schemes is paid at the same rate as jobseekers benefit.
159 Deputy Michael D. Higgins asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her views on the effectiveness of policies in relation to the take-up of supplementary pensions. [34882/08]
174 Deputy Deirdre Clune asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if the instability on international stock markets and the negative publicity regarding the value of pensions have impacted on the uptake of pensions; if so, the actions she and the Pensions Board will take to address this issue; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34855/08]
180 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the timetable she is working to in relation to a decision on future pensions policy. [34866/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 159, 174 and 180 together.
Supplementary pension coverage for workers in general was 54% in the first quarter of 2008. Coverage for the key target group, those aged 30 years and over stood at 61%.
The National Pensions Awareness Campaign has been run by the Pensions Board on behalf of the Department annually since 2003. In the current year a total of €1million has been provided to support the campaign.
Deputies will be aware that exploring ways in which supplementary pension cover could be improved was a major focus of the Government's Green Paper on Pensions. Following the launch of the Green paper we embarked on an extended consultation process which closed at the end of May.
Overall the process was very successful with a wide range of submissions received from both representative organisations and members of the public. All the submissions are available at www.pensionsgreenpaper.ie and the Department has just published a report which summarises the views expressed through the consultation process.
The Department has met with a number of organisations to explore their submissions in more detail. Unfortunately, while everyone acknowledges the need for pension reform, no consensus has emerged from the consultation process on the nature of the reforms required.
Our objective is to ensure that we have in place a pensions system which will deliver an adequate retirement income to all our people and which can, at the same time, withstand the cost pressures which will arise in the future as the composition of our population changes and the balance between those at work and those who are retired shifts dramatically.
In deciding on reforms, we must be aware that good pension provision entails significant costs for society as a whole, whether it is delivered through the State system or by personal contributions to private arrangements. There is no doubt that the Government is faced with difficult decisions. Discussions on possible approaches are ongoing with my Government colleagues.
I and the Government intend bringing this process to a conclusion by the end of the year by announcing a framework to address the pensions agenda for the longer-term. The nature of the reform decided on will dictate the period over which it will be implemented.
160 Deputy Pat Rabbitte asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her plans regarding the National Action Plan for Social Inclusion and in particular the high level goals in relation to welfare support for children. [35625/08]
Combating poverty and building an inclusive society are key priorities for the Government. The overall goal of the National Action Plan for Social Inclusion (NAPinclusion) introduced in February 2007 is to reduce the number of those experiencing consistent poverty to between 2 % and 4 % by 2012, with the aim of eliminating consistent poverty by 2016. These commitments and the social inclusion commitments in the National Development Plan have wide-ranging support, having been drawn up in consultation with the social partners and other stakeholders.
One of the twelve high level goals, set out in the Plan, focuses on achieving significant real increases in income supports for children; three others address education initiatives. In addition, 42 of the 150 detailed targets in the Plan cover services such as health, education, income support and early childhood development and care to tackle poverty in families and ensure that children reach their true potential.
Significant progress has been achieved in reducing child poverty in Ireland over the past decade and the Government is determined to continue this work, in spite of current economic difficulties. Last week's Budget provided for a range of measures costing over €56 million to benefit children and families. These measures include, an increase of €2 in the qualified child increase payable with social welfare payments bringing the rate up to €26 per week from January 2009; an increase of €10 per week per child in all Family Income Supplement income thresholds giving an increase of up to €6 per child per week, from January 2009; and an increase of €50 per week in the income threshold for the back to school clothing and footwear scheme to enable more families to qualify. These increases will mean that the high level goal of maintaining the combined value of child income support measures at 33% to 35% of the minimum adult social welfare payment rate will continue to be met next year (ranging between 42 and 46%).
In framing Budget 2009, the Government has prioritised delivering real increases in social welfare payments to ensure that, in line with the NAPinclusion, the most vulnerable groups in our society are protected. Increases of between 3 % and 3.8 % in the basic payment rates have been provided for next year, ahead of the projected rate of inflation for 2009, which is 2.5%.
161 Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the way her Department has stress-tested the impact of each of the measures announced in Budget 2009 on individual social welfare recipients and particular sub-groups; and if she is satisfied that the net effect of Budget 2009 will not be an increase in poverty levels among certain groups. [35628/08]
The social welfare related measures in Budget 2009 were subjected to a Poverty Impact Assessment in accordance with guidelines issued by the Office for Social Inclusion in March of this year.
Poverty Impact Assessment is the process by which government departments, local authorities and State Agencies assess policies and programmes at design, implementation and review stages in relation to the likely impact that they will have, or have had, on poverty and on inequalities which are likely to lead to poverty, with a view to poverty reduction.
The ESRI's SWITCH model was used to measure the impact of the proposed changes on actual household incomes. This analysis concluded the following:
The increase is progressive in terms of its distributional impact: 52% of the change in disposable income resulting from the social welfare Budget proposals will go to those in the bottom three deciles, while 79% will go to the bottom half of the income distribution; and
The proposals will result in a fall of 0.59 and 1.20 percentage points respectively in the numbers below 50% and 60% of median equivalised disposable income.
Actual changes in both the ‘at risk of poverty' and ‘consistent poverty' rates during 2009 will not be known until the results of the EU-SILC survey for that year are available, which is likely to be in November 2010 approximately.
A separate Poverty Impact Assessment on the taxation proposals in the Budget was undertaken by the Department of Finance.
162 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her views on a review of the way in which the governing contribution year applies, particularly with regard to C2 workers, many of whom were forced into becoming C2 certificate holders and who now face unemployment without access to social welfare payments. [34845/08]
The Pay-Related Social Insurance (PRSI) system is based on both the "contributory" and "solidarity" principles. The former principle provides that there is a direct link between the amount of contributions that a person pays into the system and their subsequent entitlement to a varying range of benefits that are payable if and when particular contingencies arise.
The ‘governing contribution year' criteria applying to various benefit schemes act as an administrative expression of this principle. As such the criteria provide a mechanism whereby entitlement to a benefit is determined, inter alia, by reference to a particular recent contribution year. At present, this is the 2006 tax year. Any move to extend the criteria to cover a greater number of years would necessarily dilute the contributory principle on which the PRSI system is based.
Self-employed workers, including C2 certificate holders, aged between 16 and 66 years and with reckonable income that exceeds the current insurable limit of €3,174 per annum pay social insurance contributions at PRSI Class S. These contributions are due at 3% of reckonable income, or €253, whichever is the greater.
PRSI Class S contributors are entitled to the following payments:
the Widow's or Widower's (Contributory) Pension;
the Guardian's Payment (Contributory);
the State Pension (Contributory);
Maternity Benefit;
Adoptive Benefit, and
the Bereavement Grant.
The range of benefits and pensions to which different groups of workers may establish entitlement reflects the risks associated with the nature of their work. This in turn reflects the rate of contribution payable. Self-employed persons are liable for PRSI at the Class S rate of 3% and are consequently eligible for a narrower range of benefits than general employees who, together with their employers, pay a total social insurance contribution of 14.05%, excluding levies, under the full-rate PRSI Class A.
Self-employed workers are not insured against short-term benefits such as illness and jobseeker's payments — these are only available to persons covered by PRSI Classes A, E, H and P. This reflects the need for coverage for various contingencies, the rate of contributions that self-employed persons pay, the practicalities of administering and controlling access to short-term payments and the annualised system of contributions that these same persons enjoy. A system of separate arrangements for employed and self-employed workers within a social insurance context is common in other European social protection systems.
There are no immediate plans to extend cover for short-term benefits to this group of insured workers. Any such measure would have significant financial implications and would have to be considered within a budgetary context. Consideration would also have to be given to an appropriate increase in the rate of the PRSI Class S contribution.
Class S contributors who do not qualify for an insurance-based benefit may establish entitlement to assistance-based payments by satisfying certain conditions — including a means test.
164 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the steps she has taken since becoming Minister to respond to the needs of the growing number of people on the live register. [34857/08]
Since the beginning of this year, there has been a significant increase in the number of people on the Live Register. In response to this, the Department has taken a number of measures to minimise delays in the processing of claims for jobseeker payments. These measures include the allocation of additional posts to local offices, extending the contracts of some temporary staff and providing additional overtime. These measures are kept under review.
I am very conscious of the social and economic impact of rising unemployment and I assure you that the Government is absolutely determined to assist the unemployed. The main welfare to work measure is the National Employment Action Plan. Currently, every person between the ages of 18 and 65 years who is approaching 3 months on the Live Register is referred to FÁS for interview with a view to assisting them enter or re-enter the labour market. Just over 30,000 people were referred to FÁS under the NEAP in the first six months of 2008. Of these 13,350 (44%) have left the Live Register.
A number of control initiatives have also been introduced to respond to the growing numbers on the Live Register. The EFT payment method will not be available to new claimants for unemployment payments. This means that they will have to attend at the post office weekly to collect their payment thereby eliminating the risk of people working abroad and returning monthly to sign on. In addition the activities of the Special Investigation Units (SIU) in the Department are being refocused to put an increased emphasis on the Live Register. This involves undertaking more regular interviewing of recipients of job seeker payments with particular emphasis on high risk categories.
Provision has been made in the National Development Plan, under the Social and Economic Participation Programme, for an Activation Programme over the lifetime of the Plan. The programme is aimed at all people of working age regardless of the circumstances that led the person to require income maintenance with some €50m. being invested in this area.
The main element of the Activation sub-programme is to expand the Department's facilitator service, to cover all parts of the State and with each facilitator having a defined work programme. Facilitators provide additional, more intensive assistance, for those who need it including people who have been identified by FÁS as needing further support. The facilitator programme is designed to be a targeted approach, involving active case management and the development of an individualised personal progression plan. The facilitator and individual will work together to identify the most appropriate method of progressing to training or employment. As part of the priority now placed on activation, the Department's facilitators are working closely with FÁS and other agencies at national and local level.
A particular priority is being placed on younger people signing on for the first time and people who have completed the Employment Action Plan process but who are still on the Live Register.
Over the summer months the Department conducted a targeted programme to encourage young people between 18 and 25 years of age who were signing on the Live Register for more that six months to gain additional skills and qualifications under the back to education scheme.
In response to the downturn in the construction industry sector and in recognition of the special difficulties faced by apprentices who are being laid off, the Department and FÁS are working together to facilitate such apprentices in finishing their apprenticeships and in obtaining necessary certification thereby enhancing employment prospects at home and abroad. In such cases, referral is made immediately to FÁS. FÁS have details of a number of employers seeking apprentices and will attempt to place apprentices with such employers where possible.
Finally, the Government has prioritised social welfare in the Budget, ensuring that increases in the basic rates of social welfare payments will be ahead of the projected rate of inflation and in line with the wage increases agreed by the social partners in the 2nd phase of the National Pay Agreement. In addition, the Department of Social and Family Affairs and FÁS the National Training and Employment Authority will continue to work closely together to address the needs of those on the Live Register and to assist them in
167 Deputy Ciarán Lynch asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the actions taken by her Department to implement the recommendations of the data protection commissioner following his audit of her Department earlier in 2008. [34886/08]
The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) undertook an audit of the Department in late January 2008. The audit focused on the measures in place to protect the security of personal data of customers and the extent of data-sharing in the broader public service using the Personal Public Service Number (PPSN) as an identifier.
The Report, which was received in the Department in June 2008, lists a series of recommendations covering access management, security, data-sharing and data protection policies. The Report was published on the Department's website in July 2008, alongside the Data Protection Policy and Guidelines.
The Department holds extensive personal information about its customers in order to conduct its day-to-day business, pay entitlements and provide a range of services over people's lifespan. We take our responsibilities to protect this information very seriously and, for sometime, we have been engaged in a broad programme of work to enhance the effectiveness of the information security controls. The Department welcomes the contribution of the Commissioner's Report to enhancing the effectiveness of its information security programme.
The Data Protection Commissioner, while recognising the specific challenges for an organisation as large and diverse as this Department, highlighted areas of concern and areas in need of strengthening. In response, the Department has implemented some improvements and others have been incorporated into our wider information security programme.
Policies and procedures governing the use of information systems and data are constantly under review. Recently a number of new policies have been developed and issued to staff in covering data transfers and the use of mobile computing and storage devices. Staff are regularly reminded of their obligations under data protection and security policies and of the penalties applicable in respect of any breach of these policies.
In addition to the policy measures, the Department is also ensuring that higher levels of data protection are built into its latest generation of ICT systems to reflect the increased threats in this area. Considerable resources have also been devoted to increasing the security and monitoring facilities in its older systems.
The Department has committed itself to informing the Commissioner of progress on the issues highlighted in his recommendations by the end of 2008.
168 Deputy Seán Sherlock asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her plans to increase child specific welfare payments to reflect the higher cost to low income families of raising teenagers. [34875/08]
181 Deputy Kathleen Lynch asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the rationale for the rate of qualified child allowance; and the changes she will make to the rate to reflect different costs associated with children of different ages. [34887/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 168 and 181 together.
Among the main objectives of the Department's policies on child income support is the alleviation of poverty in families with children and the facilitation and encouragement of employment by parents, as it is recognised that employment by a parent is the best route out of poverty. The main policy instruments for child income support are child benefit, increases in weekly social welfare payments for qualified children (IQCs), family income supplement (FIS) and the back to school clothing and footwear allowance.
Significant progress has been achieved over the past decade in reducing poverty among children. The Government is determined to continue this work, as evidenced in last week's Budget which provided for a range of measures costing over €56 million to benefit children and families. These measures include an increase of €2 in the IQCs, bringing them up to €26 per week from January 2009; all FIS income thresholds to increase by €10 per week per child, giving an increase of up to €6 per week per child from January 2009; and the income threshold for the back to school clothing and footwear scheme to increase by €50 per week from €100 to €150 to allow more families to qualify. At a time when it is essential that public expenditure be strictly controlled in the national interest, this increased provision for children and families is an unambiguous statement of the Government's intent to protect the vulnerable and less well-off in society.
A consistent finding in recent studies on poverty and social inclusion in Ireland is that larger families face a higher risk of poverty. In order to address this problem a number of the child income support payments provide higher support to larger families. For instance, child benefit is structured so as to target additional resources at larger families by providing a higher rate of child benefit for the third and subsequent qualified children. The FIS income thresholds were refocused in 2006 and 2007 to concentrate additional resources on larger families, with increases ranging from €9 for a one child family to €111 for a family with 8 or more children provided in 2007.
Age differentiated support is provided through the back to school clothing and footwear allowance and the early childcare supplement. For instance, the back to school clothing and footwear allowance is a targeted payment designed to help people on low incomes with the cost of children's school clothing and footwear. In recognition of the higher clothing costs incurred by older children, this allowance is paid at a higher rate (€305) for children between 12 and 22 years. An early childcare supplement of €1,100 a year is also paid to help parents of young children to meet their childcare needs.
In addition to the above mentioned supports, most weekly social welfare payments include an increase for qualified children in respect of each qualified child up to age 18, and in certain circumstances, for children up to 22 years who are school/college going. However, it is recognised that the loss of the IQC by social welfare recipients on taking up employment can act as a disincentive to taking up available work opportunities. As a consequence, the policy direction followed by successive Governments in recent years has focused on the objective of reforming income support for children in order to reduce work disincentives by making child income support more neutral vis-à-vis the employment status of the parent. In this regard, child benefit rates have been increased substantially as a result of this policy focus with a view to facilitating a greater level of choice with regard to economic participation, particularly by women, with female participation rates in the workforce having increases significantly.
Nevertheless, the introduction of the national minimum wage, together with the improvements in the FIS scheme in recent years, including the re-focusing of the FIS income thresholds on larger families, have further reduced the impact of the loss of IQCs in the decision to take up full-time employment. In view of these changed circumstances, the three separate rates of IQC payment which applied up to 2006 were consolidated into a single higher rate of payment. This payment will be increased further from €24 to €26 a week from January, 2009.
The Government has decided that Child Benefit will no longer be paid in respect of those who are 18 years old. At that stage, they are effectively treated as adults in most respects. This change will be phased in gradually. A half payment will be made in respect of existing and future qualifying children from January 2009 and from January 2010 the payment will cease from the 18 birthday.
Special alleviating measures are being introduced for social welfare dependent families. A special increase of €15 per week will be paid with qualified child increases payment for those aged 18. It is expected that some 10,000 families will benefit from this measure. In addition, the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance will be increased by €215 to €520 per annum for eligible 18 year olds and recipients of Family Income Supplement will receive additional payments of up to €15 per week for each dependent aged 18 where they are not otherwise being compensated.
Further improvements in level and structure of the child income support will be considered in the light of available resources and having regard to other priorities.
172 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs is she will review the average contribution test for the State contributory pension; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34488/08]
The average contributions test has been a key qualifying condition for contributory pensions since the scheme was introduced in 1961. With a few exceptions, a person's contribution record is generally averaged from the first day they enter social insurance until they reach retirement age. A contributory pension is a very valuable benefit and the objective of the average contributions test is to ensure, amongst other things, that those qualifying have made a sustained contribution to the social insurance fund over the course of their working lives.
The operation of the average contributions test is discussed in the Pensions Green Paper and it was also raised by many people in the associated consultation process. A number of groups, including older women returning to employment after many years caring for family and people returning from abroad, have complained about the impact a large gap in their insurance record can have on their pension entitlements.
The Green Paper consultation process concluded at the end of May and work has commenced on developing a framework for future pensions policy which the Government has indicated will be announced by the end of the year. Changes to the average contribution test will be considered in that context.
173 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the changes she will make to the household benefits package to allow for the equitable treatment of people with oil-fired central heating. [34869/08]
The household benefits package is generally available to people living in the State, aged 66 years or over who are in receipt of a social welfare type payment or who satisfy a means test. It is also available to people aged under 66 who are in receipt of certain disability social welfare payments or carer's allowance. The package includes the electricity and gas allowance, telephone allowance and free television licence schemes.
Some 358,000 pensioner and other households qualify for electricity and gas allowances through the household benefits package. These allowances help with heating, light and cooking costs throughout the year. The electricity allowance element of the household benefits package is paid as a credit on the person's electricity bill. The natural gas allowance is an alternative to the electricity allowance for people whose homes are connected to a natural gas supply. People can choose to have the allowance applied to either their electricity or their gas bill, whichever is most beneficial to them.
In recent years there have been significant improvements to the value of these allowances. In January 2007 the number of units covered by the electricity allowance was increased from 1,200 to 2,400 units. A corresponding increase in the value of the gas allowance had been implemented in the previous October.
From 1 August 2008 the value of the electricity allowance per household increased from €465 to €540 per annum in line with electricity price increases, based on urban rates. In order to continue to maintain the value of the electricity and gas allowances at the same level, the value of the gas allowance was also increased to €540 per annum from the same date. I increased the value of the allowances in order to match recent price increases to ensure that customers continue to receive the same amount of energy under the household benefit scheme.
This represents increased expenditure on these schemes of some €11 million for the remainder of the year bringing the total expenditure on the schemes to approximately €170 million this year.
The national fuel allowance scheme also provides assistance to householders on long-term social welfare or health service executive payments with meeting the cost of their heating needs during the winter season. The allowance represents a contribution towards a person's normal heating expenses. It is not intended to meet those costs in full.
In Budget 2009 I was pleased to be able to increase the value of the fuel allowance by €2 per week to €20 per week from January 2009 with an additional €3.90 per week paid to those in smokeless fuel areas. In addition, I was happy to extend the duration of the scheme by two weeks so that the fuel allowance will now be paid for 32 weeks a year.
Fuel allowances are incorporated in the recipient's weekly social welfare payment. This reflects the objective that the total weekly income of benefit and assistance recipients, including the fuel allowance, is sufficient to meet all of their income needs, including heating costs.
It is estimated that almost 300,000 people will benefit under the scheme in 2008 at a cost over €170 million.
As with all schemes, I will be keeping the household benefits and fuel allowance schemes under review to ensure that they continue to meet their objectives.
178 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the extent to which she will extend the qualification guidelines for carers who are benefiting the taxpayer to the extent of providing community based service that otherwise would require institutional care or hospitalisation; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34742/08]
415 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the extent to which she proposes to ease the qualification criteria for the carer’s allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35021/08]
417 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will improve or ease the qualification guidelines for respite care grants; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35023/08]
418 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will increase the carer’s allowance in order to compensate for increases in the cost of living and the economic downturn; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35024/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 178, 415, 417 and 418 together.
Supporting and recognising carers in our society is, and has been, a priority of the Government since 1997. Over that period, weekly payment rates to carers have greatly increased, qualifying conditions for carer's allowance have significantly eased, coverage of the scheme has been extended and new schemes such as carer's benefit and the respite care grant have been introduced and extended.
Carer's allowance, in line with other social assistance schemes, is means tested. This ensures scarce resources are directed at those in greatest need. The primary objective of the carer's allowance is to provide income support to low income carers. The carer's allowance means test is one of the more flexible tests in terms of the assessment of household incomes. It has been significantly eased over the years, most notably with regard to spouse's earnings.
In April 2008 the level of the carer's allowance income disregard was increased from €320 to €332.50 per week for a single person and from €640 to €665 per week for a couple. This ensures that a couple can have an income in the region of €37,200 per year and still qualify for the maximum rate of carer's allowance as well as the associated free travel, household benefits package and the respite care grant. This increase surpasses the "Towards 2016" commitment to ensuring that those on average earnings can qualify for carer's allowance.
In Budget 2009 I increased the rate of carer's allowance for those aged 66 or over by €7 per week to €239 per week and the rate of carer's allowance for those aged under 66 by €6.50 from €214 to €220.50 per week. In addition, I increased the rate of carer's benefit by €6.50 from €214.70 to €221.20 per week. These increases will take effect from January 2009.
Budget 2007 provided for new arrangements whereby people can receive a maximum payment of equivalent to a half rate carer's allowance while receiving another social welfare payment other than jobseekers benefit or allowance. These new arrangements came into effect in September 2007 and to date over 14,200 carers have benefited.
In June 2006 the number of hours for which a person can engage in employment, self-employment, education or training and still be considered to be providing full time care for the purposes of carer's allowance, carer's benefit and the respite care grant was increased from 10 to 15 hours per week.
From June 2005, the annual respite care grant was extended to all carers who are providing full time care to a person who needs such care, regardless of their income. A carer who is caring for two or more people is entitled to a full grant for each of the care recipients. In June 2008 the level of the grant increased to €1,700 per year in respect of each care recipient.
179 Deputy Kathleen Lynch asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her plans to address the position of carers and certain companions of bus-pass holders as outlined in a recent social policy report by the Citizens Information Board (details supplied). [34878/08]
The free travel scheme is available to all people living in the State aged 66 years or over. All carers in receipt of carer's allowance and carers of people in receipt of constant attendance or prescribed relative's allowance, regardless of their age, receive a free travel pass. It is also available to people under age 66 who are in receipt of certain disability type welfare payments, such as disability allowance, invalidity pension and blind person's pension. People from a country covered by EU Regulations, or from a country with which Ireland has a bilateral social security agreement, resident in the State, who are in receipt of a social security invalidity or disability payment and who have been in receipt of this payment for at least 12 months, are also eligible for free travel.
The free travel companion pass entitles the pass holder to have any one person, aged 16 years or over, to accompany him/her free of charge when travelling. Such companion passes are available to persons who qualify for free travel and who, on account of their disability, are unable to travel alone.
The main objective of the free travel scheme is to encourage older people and people with disabilities to remain independent and active in the community, thereby reducing the need for institutional care. The purpose of allowing pass holders to be accompanied while travelling is to facilitate further this mobility.
The extension of the scheme to allow the pass holder's companion to travel alone would not be in keeping with this objective.
183 Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if a study has been undertaken since Budget 2008 to ascertain if payments made by that Budget improved the quality of life for the most vulnerable in society. [34846/08]
The EU Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) is carried out annually by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). It is a survey of private households provided for under EU legislation (Council Regulation No 1177/2003) which commenced in Ireland in June 2003. The primary focus of the survey is the collection of information on the income and living conditions of different types of households, from which indicators on poverty, deprivation and social exclusion are derived.
The next EU-SILC report will relate to 2007 and is due to be published next month. The report on 2008 is expected in approximately 12 months.
184 Deputy Ciarán Lynch asked the Taoiseach if he will confirm that persons appointed to positions under the National Economic and Social Development Office Act 2006 were appointed in accordance with the regulations set out in the Act; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35383/08]
The National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO), comprising the National Economic and Social Council (NESC), the National Economic and Social Forum (NESF) and the National Centre for Partnership and Performance (NCPP) was established under the National Economic and Social Development Office Act 2006.
Appointments made have been in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Act.
185 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Taoiseach if he will confirm that the deal with Deputy Finian McGrath to vote for and support the Government includes a commitment to abandon and end an attempt by Dublin Port to infill a large part of Dublin Bay at Clontarf; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35451/08]
As I have previously confirmed to the House, my predecessor as Leader of the Fianna Fáil Party entered into political agreements with a number of individual independent deputies.
Following my election as Leader of Fianna Fáil, I confirmed to the Deputies concerned that I intend to continue to implement those arrangements.
The agreements are confidential but they are based on the Programme for Government which incorporates the National Development Plan, approved Government Programmes and Annual Estimates for capital and current expenditure.
However, as the House is aware, the Deputy announced last night that he has withdrawn from the agreement.
186 Deputy Ciarán Lynch asked the Taoiseach if local authorities or public bodies here have invested funds in Icelandic financial products; the status of such investments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35512/08]
Neither my Department nor any of the bodies under its aegis have invested funds in Icelandic financial products.
187 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Taoiseach the annual costs incurred by his Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35560/08]
188 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Taoiseach the progress made by his Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35575/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 187 and 188 together.
There are no proposals to decentralise my Department and accordingly the information sought regarding costs, does not apply. It is a matter for those Departments to which staff from my Department have decentralised to assign such staff to locations outside of Dublin.
189 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Taoiseach the amount that was granted in pensions in each of the past five years to individuals who retired early from his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35646/08]
190 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Taoiseach the amount that was spent in each of the past five years on staff who replaced those who took early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35661/08]
194 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Taoiseach the number of staff within his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reason for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35834/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 189, 190 and 194 together.
In the past five years one Assistant Secretary aged 59, one Executive Officer aged 53 and one Staff Officer aged 53 availed of the cost neutral early retirement option as governed by the Department of Finance Circular 10/2005. All of these retired staff were replaced by staff of the same grade, whose average annual salary is as follows: Assistant Secretary: €144, 986, Executive Officer: €41,531, Staff Officer: €42,444.
191 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Taoiseach the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, blackberries and other hand-held devices in his Department; if he has satisfied himself that all personal information held within his Department is secure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35676/08]
Personal information belonging to members of the public is not generally collected by, or stored, in the Department's electronic systems. There are, however, a number of specific measures in place in my Department to protect all data which is held electronically on portable devices:
All staff in my Department are issued with a copy of the Policy on IT Usage;
All staff who have been approved to use mobile equipment by my Department are issued with guidance to ensure devices are secured properly;
The hard drives of all laptops provided by my Department are encrypted;
Where USB keys are issued to staff members, the policy is that these devices too are encrypted;
No Departmental data is stored locally on laptops issued to staff; and
Strong authentication methods, in addition to username and password, are in place to prevent unauthorised access to the Department's network from mobile devices;
My Department applies best practice and uses industry standard information security protection devices and software to protect all data within its systems. My Department regularly reviews and updates these security procedures, policies and products as a matter of course.
192 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Taoiseach the average level of absenteeism within his Department for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35804/08]

196 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the amount of money spent on capital investment by her Department for each year since 1997 in each of the 26 counties. [35391/08]
The details requested by the Deputy are outlined on the table below.
Capital funding allocated to my Department is expended through various agencies under the remit of my Department, including IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland, Science Foundation Ireland, FÁS, Shannon Development, InterTradeIreland, the National Standards Authority of Ireland and the 35 County and City Enterprise Boards.
My Department does not centrally hold details of the amount of capital funding spent by the agencies on a county-by-county basis.

Notes:
(i) Due to the fact that the Department changed its financial management system in 2004, actual outturn figures for 1997 to 2003 are not readily available and thus the figures given above for those years reflect the provisional outturn as published in the Revised Estimates Volumes.
(ii) Figures for 2004 to 2008 inclusive reflect the outturn in the Department's accounts.
197 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the position regarding a factory (details supplied) in County Mayo; if this property has been sold; if so, the price received and the use to which these funds have been put; and the amount the IDA paid the property owner to obtain an early lease buyout. [35492/08]
The management of IDA Ireland's industrial property portfolio is a day-to-day operational matter for the Agency and not one in which I have a function.
I have been informed by IDA that this property was surrendered to its owner on the 11 September, 2006. For commercial reasons, and in order to protect IDA's negotiating position in relation to any similar properties, it is not appropriate for information on the commercial terms agreed by the Agency with the owner regarding the termination the lease to be divulged.
198 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the progress made to date in relation to the introduction of training programmes to either Greencastle or Cork in order to re-train fishermen for the merchant navy; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35530/08]
The primary providers of onshore training in the maritime industry are the National Maritime College of Ireland, the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers and the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport.
However, FÁS has in collaboration with the National Maritime College of Ireland, introduced a new Seafaring Safety Skills course at Ringaskiddy in County Cork.
The aim of the course is to provide the learners with the skills and competency to perform as an effective junior member of the deck team on board a merchant ship trading internationally. The new course provides a solid footing to anyone interested in seafaring or a related career. The course is delivered over a period of nine weeks and carries STCW 95 (International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch-keeping for Seafarers) certification.
The current course has 20 training places and is running from 8 September to 12 December 2008.
199 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if she will explain the percentage change in invisible exports, using 1997 as a baseline, up until the end of year 2007; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35531/08]
200 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if she will explain the percentage change in visible exports, using 1997 as a baseline, up until the end of 2007; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35532/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 199 and 200 together.
Data on invisible exports (services exports) is not readily available for the year 1997, but during the period 1998 to 2007 the value of these exports rose from €8.859 billion in 1998 to €65.65 billion in 2007, an increase of €56.791 billion, representing a 641% rise during the period.
Data on visible exports (merchandise exports) for the period 1997 to 2007 shows that the value of these exports also rose; from €44.868 billion in 1997 to €89.078 billion in 2007, an increase of €44.21 billion or 99%.
Details of the year-on-year movements for both these export categories are shown on the following table. The data shows that, with the exception of the figures for merchandise exports for 2003, which reflect the global economic slowdown that occurred around that time, the value of exports increased year-on-year for the periods in question.

201 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the annual costs incurred by her Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35553/08]
The Office of Public Works (OPW) has primary responsibility for the procurement of suitable accommodation for both the advance and permanent re-location of decentralising Departments, including my Department's staff to Carlow.
Officials of my Department, in consultation with the Department of Finance and the OPW, as well as decentralising staff and Business Units, opened an advance office in Carlow on July 30 2007. It is my understanding from the OPW that the yearly rental costs for this office is in the region of €369,000 and the fit-out costs were approximately €2,068,000.
With regard to the property costs for the Department's permanent move to Carlow, the OPW completed the purchase of a site in Carlow town centre for the construction of my Department's permanent office and I understand from the OPW that the site acquisition costs were €1,440,000.
With regard to non-property decentralisation costs incurred to date, the most recent figures for such costs for my Department, as submitted to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance and the Public Service, via the Department of Finance, relates to the period January 2004 to June 2008. The following is the yearly breakdown:
2004 — €128
2005 — €1,074
2006 — €98,795
2007 — €217,230
2008 to end-June — €4,400
202 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the progress made by her Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35568/08]
My Department has been making good progress in the relocation of the required 250 posts to Carlow under the Government's Decentralisation Programme. The following business units/Offices of my Department are earmarked for decentralisation:
Companies Registration Office/Registry of Friendly Societies
National Employment Rights Authority (NERA)
Redundancy Payments Section
Insolvency Payments Section
Officials of my Department, in consultation with the Department of Finance and the OPW, as well as decentralising staff and Business Units, opened an advance office in Carlow on July 30 2007. This office is situated on O'Brien Road and is currently being leased by the OPW on behalf of the Department.
The number of staff in this decentralised advance office is 100. As well as staff already decentralised, there are 48 staff within my Department due to decentralise when the substantive move takes place, with a further 47 Carlow-bound applicants yet to be assigned from other Departments.
With regard to the property side of the Department's move, the OPW completed the purchase of a site in Carlow town centre for the construction of my Department's permanent office in Carlow. My colleague Minister of State Noel Ahern TD, announced on 13 December 2007 that the OPW has invited The Macquarie Partnership as the consortium to become the ‘Successful Tenderer' in respect of this decentralisation project. This forms part of a major PPP project, which also involves the provision of office accommodation for the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in Portlaoise and the Department of Education and Science in Mullingar.
The formal application for planning permission was lodged with Carlow Town Council on 18 April 2008 and planning permission, with conditions, was granted on 12 June 2008 subject to appeal. The Office of Public Works has since advised that two objections lodged against the planning permission have been referred to An Bord Pleanála. An Bord Pleanála website indicates that the appeal cases are due to be decided by 10 November 2008.
203 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the amount that was granted in pensions in each of the past five years to individuals who retired early from her Department; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35639/08]
204 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the amount that was spent in each of the past five years on staff who replaced those who took early retirement; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35654/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 203 and 204 together.
In April 2005, the option of cost neutral early superannuation benefits was made available to serving staff who met the eligibility criteria and those who had resigned on or after 1 April 2004, with an entitlement to preserved superannuation benefits at the time of their resignation. There were no early retirements in 2004
In 2005 there were five retirements under the Cost Neutral Early Retirement Scheme from my Department. The total amount of annual pensions in respect of the five individuals is €82,965.83. Of the five only three have been replaced at an annual cost of €125,325. These costs have increased in subsequent years in line with National pay agreements.
In 2006, two staff members availed of Cost Neutral Early Retirement. The amount of annual pensions in respect of the two individuals was €44,895.22. Only one post was filled at an annual salary of €80,408. These costs have increased in subsequent years in line with National pay agreements
In 2007, one staff member availed of Cost Neutral Early Retirement, with an annual pension of €11,929.76, which will increase in line with National pay agreements. This person was not replaced.
In 2008, five staff members availed of Cost Neutral Early Retirement, with annual pensions amounting to €142,525.88. Only one of the five was replaced at an annual salary of €86,168. These costs will increase in line with future National pay agreements.
205 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, blackberries and other hand-held devices in her Department; if she is satisfied that all personal information held within her Department is secure; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35669/08]
My Department is very conscious of its obligations under the Data Protection Acts, and adopts a proactive approach to ensuring that personal data stored by it is kept secure. Physical safeguards, a secure ICT infrastructure and staff awareness programmes all play a role in supporting data protection in my Department. Regarding ICT this is a continuous process, involving a combination of appropriately skilled people and the implementation of best-practice processes and technologies. Last year, my Department with the assistance of external ICT security experts, conducted a comprehensive review of ICT security across the Department and its Offices. The findings of the report now form a significant part of my Department's new ICT Strategy (2008-2010) and a programme of work is currently being undertaken which is designed to deliver ongoing improvements in the security of the Department's ICT systems, thereby minimizing the risk of compromising data and/or security breaches.
In relation to laptops, a project is well under way within my Department to apply whole disk encryption to all laptops. The majority of existing laptops have already been encrypted and the target is to have all remaining laptops encrypted by year-end. All new laptops are being encrypted before they are issued to officers. In addition encrypted USB flash drives are provided to officers who have a requirement to carry personal data on such devices and my Department is hoping to introduce centralised USB port control on PCs and laptops in 2009.
Many officers within my Department use Blackberry devices for access to email while out of the office. My Department is applying centralised security policies to such devices, including password enforcement and the remote erasure of all data from the BlackBerry in the event that it is reported missing.
A key component of information security is user awareness and so a security and data protection awareness programme is currently underway in my Department. All induction courses for new staff members include segments on information security and data protection. In September 2007 all staff in my Department were issued with a Human Resources Management Handbook in hard copy format, which includes a dedicated section concerning the provisions of data protection legislation, and highlighting the obligations and responsibilities for staff in this area. These obligations were reiterated to all staff by way of an Office Notice in November 2007.
A programme of data protection and security awareness workshops is also under way. The workshops are facilitated by experts in the field who, prior to the workshop, examine the business units involved in terms of information security and data protection.
206 Deputy Jan O’Sullivan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if she will clarify if an employer can apply for a work permit for a non-EU national who is here under a student visa for the past six years and who has graduated with a qualification for work in the hospitality sector; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35768/08]
A student on a "stamp 2" is permitted to remain by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform in Ireland to pursue a course of studies and is permitted to engage in casual employment which is defined as not more that 20 hours per week during term, and up to 40 hours per week during holidays. A student on a Stamp 2 is prohibited from engaging in full time employment and cannot be issued with an employment permit.
The Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform determines the immigration status of persons within the State and whether they can remain in the State. Students on a Stamp 2 should be present in the State to pursue a course of studies and are not here for the purpose of entering employment. Accordingly this Department is not in a position to consider employment permit applications from persons present in the State on a student status apart from applications received under the "Third Level Graduate Scheme".
A non-EEA student who has, on or after 1 January, 2007, acquired a Primary Degree, an Honours Degree, a Higher Diploma, a Masters Degree, a Post-Graduate Diploma or a Doctorate Degree from an Irish third level educational institution is eligible to apply under the Scheme.
Full details of the Scheme are available on my Department's website at www.entemp.ie.
207 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the average level of absenteeism within her Department for each of the past five years; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35797/08]
My Department monitors sickness absence in order to ensure the proper application of the sick leave regulations. Sickness absence for this purpose is measured in "duration days" (span of sickness absence from date of first absence to date of return to work) rather than actual working days lost.
Separately, my Department has begun detailed examination of sickness absence, applying international best practice principles. Our first such examination was done in respect of the calendar year 2007. According to this analysis, the percentage of working days lost in 2007 was 3.90%.
In response to the Deputy's question, we have reviewed the data for the years 2003 — 2006 inclusive. My Department has been able to ascertain that the equivalent figure for 2006 was 4.02%. Extracting similar information for the years 2003 to 2005 inclusive would be an extremely complex and time consuming process and would have to be done manually.
208 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the average level of staff absenteeism within each of the agencies within her Department’s remit for each of the past five years; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35812/08]
The monitoring and measuring of levels of absenteeism within the agencies under the aegis of my Department is an administrative matter for the agencies themselves. I have no function in the day-to-day administrative matters carried out by each agency.
209 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the number of staff within her Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reason for granting early retirement; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35827/08]
The option of Cost Neutral Early Retirement was introduced in April 2005 and is available to staff who meet the eligibility criteria and are aged 50 to 59 if a preserved pension age of 60 applies or aged 55 to 64 if a preserved pension age of 65 applies.
The numbers availing of the Cost Neutral Early Retirement Scheme in my Department over the last three years are listed on the following table. Due to the small numbers involved I consider it inappropriate to give details of the age of the officers involved. In all of the cases early retirement was granted as the applicants met the eligibility criteria as set out in Department of Finance Circular 10/2005:

210 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the number of staff within agencies within the remit of her Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reasons for granting early retirement; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35842/08]
Early retirement schemes in place within the agencies under the aegis of my Department are an administrative matter for the agencies themselves. I have no function in the day-to-day administrative matters carried out by each agency.
211 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment further to Parliamentary Question No. 254 of 13 February 2008, the date and purpose of the funds in question; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35909/08]
I understand from Enterprise Ireland that on 17 May 1998, the agency approved assistance to the company under its Research Technology & Innovation (RTI) Competitive Grants Initiative. The company drew down moneys over a four year period as outlined in the following table.
The purpose of the RTI Initiative was to bring about a substantial increase in the level of high quality research and development in businesses in Ireland. The RTI Initiative supported commercially focused, industry led projects in product and process development and covered high quality, risk intensive R&D projects.
In the reply to Parliamentary Question No, 254 of 13 February, 2008, the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment said that payment and repayment of grants are day-to-day operational matters for the Industrial Development agencies and he did not have any role in these matters. The date and purpose of funds are also day-to-day operational matters. Further information in relation to such matters can be obtained by the Deputy directly from the appropriate Industrial Development agency which is Enterprise Ireland in this case.

212 Deputy Deirdre Clune asked the Minister for Finance the criteria he will use to determine those liable to pay the €200 car park charge he has proposed in budget 2009; if this will apply to areas that do not have adequate public transport; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35766/08]
The detailed provisions of the car parking levy are currently being finalised and will be included in the Finance (No. 2) Bill 2008, which will be published on 20th November next.
213 Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Finance if he will review the decision to introduce a €10 air travel tax; if he proposes to make changes to this tax to ensure that airports such as Shannon Airport are not commercially disadvantaged when passengers are flying to destinations like Manchester, Liverpool and so on compared with passengers travelling through Dublin Airport to those destinations; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35767/08]
I announced in the Budget 2009 that an Air Travel Tax will come into force in respect of passengers departing from Irish Airports on and from 30 March 2009. The general rate applying will be €10 per passenger, with a lower rate of €2 for shorter air journeys i.e. those up to and including 300 kms. This rate structure is reasonable and I have no plans to change it.
214 Deputy P. J. Sheehan asked the Minister for Finance the amount of money spent by the Exchequer in 1992, broken down by current and capital expenditure; the comparable figures for 2008; the percentage of GNI, GDP or GNP for each of these years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35373/08]
The following table compares total, current and capital expenditure outturns for 1992, as published in the 1992 Finance Accounts, to 2008 forecast outturn figures published in Budget 2009. The GDP and GNP figures for 1992 are outturn figures published by the Central Statistics Office, while the corresponding estimates for 2008 are as published in Budget 2009. Both sets of figures are expressed in euro for ease of comparison.

*Capital figures for 2008 include a contribution of €1,690 million to the National Pension Reserve Fund for the pre-funding of future pension liabilities.
215 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Finance the amount of money spent on capital investment by his Department for each year since 1997 in each of the 26 counties. [35393/08]
Much of the capital expenditure from my Department's vote is IT related rather than geographically specific and accordingly it is not possible to account for all capital expenditure from my Department's vote on a county by county basis. Such expenditure includes e-procurement development, grants under the information society fund, capital grants in aid to the Institute of Public Administration and the Economic and Social research institute.
Capital grants in aid were made from my Department's vote to Ordnance Survey Ireland of €1.978m in 2002, €1.399m in 2003, €1.8m in 2005 and €1m in 2006. Responsibility for Ordnance Survey Ireland moved to the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources in 2007.
The Peace and Northern Ireland Interreg programmes, which are administered by the Special EU Programmes Body, expend capital amounts from my Department's vote on both sides of the border. That office does not compile information on capital expenditure on a county by county basis. The following table sets out the capital outturn for Vote 6 (Office of the Minister for Finance) for each year since 1997 (including 2008 year to date).

Computer capital expenditure covers, in addition to the normal replenishment programme (i.e. where older equipment is no longer capable of running today's business applications or where maintenance costs have become excessive), the acquisition of further hardware and software licences to facilitate business growth, develop new applications and systems which, are required to support Revenue's business requirements. Most of the equipment and software is based in the primary Revenue computer centre and the backup computer centre, both of which are located in Dublin. The remaining equipment comprising of mainly PCs and associated software is installed in Revenue offices throughout the country.
The Valuation Office, the Commission for Public Service Appointment, the Office of the Ombudsman, the Office of the Comptroller & Auditor General, the State Laboratory and the Public Appointments Service fall under the aegis of my Department. In the period in question they had either no capital expenditure or very small capital subheads from which there was no geographically specific expenditure.
The following table sets out total capital expenditure by the Office of Public Works from its vote. However, in the time available to answer the question, the Office of Public Works was unable to compile the information on a county by county basis. The information will be compiled and forwarded by that Office to the Deputy as soon as possible.

216 Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Finance the position of a property (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35411/08]
This property is not under the remit of the Office of Public Works.
217 Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for Finance if he will allow the private housing market to take its course without Government intervention; his plans for an initiative in the housing market; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35413/08]
The State plays a major role in the housing sector and as I stated in my Budget Speech last week, the Government has invested significantly in housing in recent years. This includes the direct investment by the Exchequer in a number of social and affordable housing schemes, augmented by funding raised by the Housing Finance Agency. Supports are also provided through rent supplement payments and tax reliefs are available for interest paid on mortgages.
There is a correction process under way in the housing market and the moderation in house prices is being driven by a range of factors, including wider economic uncertainty and higher interest rates. In view of the changing conditions in the private housing market, my colleague Mr. Gormley, the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and I have agreed that there is merit in amending some existing housing policy. Consequently, I announced last week an extension of the existing local authority mortgage scheme by increasing the maximum loan available to borrowers. This extension will assist purchasers who wish to become homeowners but who are, at this time, unable to obtain loan finance. This will be a targeted and temporary initiative to reflect current market conditions. Funding will be provided by the Housing Finance Agency and it will be operated by a small number of local authorities acting on a regional basis. The objective of the Scheme is to provide credit to prospective first time buyers, but it is not intended to stop the market correction taking place.
Secondly, we have decided to introduce a single Government Equity Initiative to replace a range of existing schemes which have developed in recent years. Under this Initiative the Government will assist those seeking affordable housing by taking an equity share in the property. The purchaser will be able to buy out the Government equity share over a number of years or settle the equity share when the property is sold.
Details of the Local Authority Mortgage Scheme were announced last week by Mr Finneran, Minster for Housing, Urban Renewal and Development Areas. Details of the Government Equity Scheme will be announced in due course.
218 Deputy Jimmy Deenihan asked the Minister for Finance the projected income from the banks as a result of the Government guarantee of €400 billion; if the normal commercial rate for insuring debt of between 1% and 2% will apply; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35425/08]
The Credit Institutions (Financial Support) Scheme 2008, approved by both Houses of the Oireachtas on 17th October 2008, provides that a covered institution must pay a charge for its guarantee. The aggregate charge for the participating institutions is set at a level that is based on the long-term cost to the Exchequer of providing the guarantee. Current estimates indicate that over the two years of the Scheme around €1 billion will be yielded from the charge to covered institutions for the guarantee.
As I emphasised in the Dáil during the debate on the Scheme on Friday 17th October, it is essential both that taxpayers are protected and that the guarantee charge is set at a level consistent with the long-term sustainability and commercial viability of our financial institutions. I am confident that the Government's approach strikes the right balance between ensuring that the Exchequer is reimbursed in full for the cost of the scheme up-front and that the financial sector is safeguarded at a time of very substantial financial upheaval.
219 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Finance the way he will assist home owners here who bought endowment policies in the 1980s and 1990s in view of the Credit Institutions (Financial Support) Bill 2008; if he is aware that these endowment policies were mis-sold on behalf of the banks by brokers who were encouraged with the reward of larger commissions; if the compensation he will provide will be similar to that supplied by the British Government to British purchasers of endowment policies; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35468/08]
For the purposes of giving some background on this to the Deputy I would like to point out that early in 2004, the Financial Regulator commenced a survey of institutions' endowment mortgage business. The Financial Regulator wrote to lenders and insurers seeking information on their endowment businesses. The then Chief Executive of the Financial Regulator made a statement on the main findings of the survey to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance and the Public Service on 18 January 2006 highlighting that endowment mortgages represented a low percentage of mortgage loans outstanding. He went on to say that endowment mortgage holders, who believed that they were mis-sold, or who felt that their issues were not properly dealt with, could in the first instance, contact their financial services provider and seek a formal response to their complaints and that if they were not satisfied with the explanation or response made by the financial service provider, the person could then refer the matter to the Financial Services Ombudsman (FSO) for consideration, in accordance with the procedure set out by the FSO.
At the same Joint Oireachtas Committee meeting the Financial Services Ombudsman also made a statement on the matter in respect of complaints received by his office on endowment mortgages. In that statement he confirmed that of the endowment cases referred to him, those that were upheld were done so on the grounds of maladministration rather than on the grounds of mis-selling. Some of those cases were cases he had taken over from the previous voluntary ombudsman scheme.
I do not therefore propose to establish a compensation scheme.
220 Deputy Seán Fleming asked the Minister for Finance when the deposit interest retention tax refund claim will be approved and awarded to a person (details supplied) in County Laois. [35489/08]
I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that they are awaiting a completed form NLR (F) 2007 and certificates of bank interest for years ended 31/12/2004 to 2007 (inclusive) from the taxpayer in order to advance the tax refund claim. If the taxpayer forwards the outstanding information direct to Eamon McArdle, Kilkenny Revenue District, Government Offices, Hebron Road, Kilkenny, Tel 056-7760810, his claim will be advanced promptly.
221 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Finance the position in the Office of Public Works in relation to finding a resolution to the flooding problem in south Mayo; the flood prevention works which have been carried out to date; the action being taken to ensure the risk of flooding in the locality is reduced; when funding will be allocated to resolve this matter; when relief works will be carried out in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35493/08]
Flood mitigation works were completed at Clyard and Thomastown, Kilmaine. Efforts to find a solution to the problem at the Neale are ongoing. An aerial survey of the area has been completed recently and the results are currently being analysed. Mayo County Council are awaiting the results of a ground-water survey from a hydrogeologist.
Subject to the agreement of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, works will be carried out in the Hollymount area in 2009. The OPW is continuing to work with Mayo County Council to address minor flooding problems at other locations in the County.
222 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Finance the income realised each year for the past four years from the disposal of property in Dublin under the decentralisation scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35544/08]
227 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Finance the properties sold and the price obtained for each property that in total account for the figure of €387.5 million as referred to in his reply to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 111, 121, 146, 149, 263, 264 and 265 of 30 January 2008; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35596/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 222 and 227 together.
The figure of €387.5 million represented the total value of proceeds from the disposal of State properties countrywide between January 2004 and December 2007 inclusive. The following tables show the total list of properties in Dublin disposed of in the last 4 years and the value achieved.

224 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Finance the progress or plans made on the further large disposals of property in Dublin planned for 2009, as referred to in the July 2007 Progress Report of the Decentralisation Implementation Group; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35546/08]
The Commissioners of Public Works have no plans at present for the disposal of further properties in Dublin in 2009.
225 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Finance the annual costs incurred by his Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35555/08]
226 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Finance the progress made by his Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

228 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Finance the income obtained through the disposal by the Office of Public Works of property in Dublin no longer needed due to the decentralisation programme to date in 2008; the properties sold and the price obtained for each property; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35597/08]
229 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Finance if property disposals referred to in his reply to Parliamentary Question Nos. 111, 121, 146, 149, 263, 264 and 265 of 30 January 2008 have occurred to date in 2008; the detail of each one and the income received; if there remain other further ongoing large property disposals planned for the future; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35598/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 228 and 229 together.
The Commissioners of Public Works have not disposed of any property in Dublin in 2008 which was no longer needed due to the decentralisation programme. It would be inappropriate at this stage to indicate publicly property disposals planned for the future.
230 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Finance the amount that was granted in pensions in each of the past five years to individuals who retired early from his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35641/08]
231 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Finance the amount that was spent in each of the past five years on staff who replaced those who took early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35656/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 230 and 231 together.
I assume the Deputy is referring to a voluntary early retirement scheme. No such scheme is available to staff in the Civil Service. However, there are other arrangements which make provision for retirement earlier than normal pension age in certain circumstances. Arrangements for cost-neutral early retirement were introduced in 2005 under Department of Finance Circular 10/2005 and are available in the Civil and Public Service generally. In broad terms this facility, which was recommended by the Commission on Public Service Pensions, allows staff who are within ten years of their normal pension age to apply for early retirement with immediate payment of their superannuation benefits.
The benefits are actuarially reduced to ensure that the early payment is cost-neutral to the Exchequer. Retirement before normal pension age with immediate payment of superannuation benefits may be permitted on medical grounds. Superannuation benefits may also be paid to a Civil Servant before normal pension age as a consequence of the abolition of his or her post or removal from office to facilitate improvements in the organisation of the Department by which greater efficiency and economy can be effected.
The amount granted in pensions to staff retiring under the above arrangements in each of the past five years is set out in the following table.

In deciding whether a vacant post should be filled or suppressed, no distinction is generally made between vacancies arising from normal retirement (i.e. other then under a specific retirement scheme) and those arising from other causes. Accordingly, the remuneration of staff subsequently appointed to such posts would not be regarded as replacement cost.
232 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Finance the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, blackberries and other hand-held devices in his Department; if he is satisfied that all personal information held within his Department is secure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35671/08]
My Department is currently implementing encryption of portable laptop and memory stick electronic data devices. All corporate emails and data can be immediately erased from mobile email devices should such a device be reported lost or stolen. Blackberries are not used by my Department.
I am satisfied that all personal information is protected from both external and internal threats. Modern firewall infrastructures protect electronic data from external threats. Within my Department's IT infrastructure, all of the databases are protected from unauthorised access through the use of individual access permissions and such access is carefully controlled.
233 Deputy Liz McManus asked the Minister for Finance the position regarding the transfer of the former Garda station in Ashford, County Wicklow to the local community; his plans to advance this situation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35720/08]
The Office of Public Works has been informed by An Garda Síochána that Ashford Garda Station remains a strategic requirement and therefore consideration cannot be given to the disposal of this State owned property.
234 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Finance if, further to his statement on 14 October 2008 that the savings of €440 million in 2008 and €1 billion in 2009 announced in July 2008 have been achieved, he will provide a breakdown of those savings by Department and expense type; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35721/08]
The breakdown of the overall savings target of €440 million for 2008 and €1 billion in 2009 was laid before the Dáil on the 10th of July and these details are reproduced in the Appendix to this reply.
Specific information on the achievement of these savings in 2008 will have to await the end of the year when provisional outturn figures will first become available. Provisional outturn information at subhead level is normally published for the first time in the Revised Estimates Volume (REV) for the following year. However, on the basis of forecast outturns published in the 2009 Budget Volume, and taking into account specific offsetting expenditure pressures in some areas, I anticipate that the underlying savings targets as set out in the Appendix will be realised in full.
Budget 2009 contains all relevant details on proposed expenditure and savings for 2009, 2010 and 2011.

235 Deputy Noel J. Coonan asked the Minister for Finance his plans to introduce an embargo on the filling of vacancies in Government Departments at executive officer level; if so, when this embargo will commence; and if an embargo is imposed, if he will instruct the Public Service Appointments Commission to extend the life of existing panels of staff awaiting promotion to executive officer until those panels have been emptied. [35761/08]
I refer the Deputy to my Budget Statement of last Tuesday, 14 October 2008, where I stated that in regard to public service pay and numbers, we must do more with less:
"In this context, the Government has decided to conduct a focused review of public sector numbers in all branches of Government to assess whether the resources are being fully deployed in an efficient and effective manner and what economies can be made. This decision will be implemented in November when the report of the Task Force on the Public Service [established by the Taoiseach] is received."
236 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for Finance if he has terminated the Government Construction Contracts Committee in view of recent decisions made in respect of various public contracts. [35764/08]
I have not terminated the Government Contracts Committee on Construction (GCCC), which provides very valuable input into strategic policy on construction procurement.
237 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Finance the average level of absenteeism within his Department for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35799/08]
238 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Finance the average level of staff absenteeism within each of the agencies within his Department’s remit for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35814/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 237 and 238 together.

The Office of Public Works and Special EU Programmes Body are currently collating the information requested by the Deputy and will forward the information directly to the Deputy when this process is completed.
239 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Finance the number of staff within his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reason for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35829/08]

[35844/08]

The number of staff who retired under each of the above arrangements in each of the past three years is set out below. As the numbers involved are so small any further breakdown by age and grade as requested would not be appropriate.

At the time of reply details were unavailable for a small number of bodies under the remit of the Department. Details will be forwarded to the Deputy as they become available.
241 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Finance his plans to have Annex III of the EU VAT Directive amended to include road safety products and thereby reduce the rate of VAT applicable on such products; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35915/08]
The VAT rating of goods and services is subject to the requirements of EU VAT law with which Irish VAT law must comply. Under the VAT Directive Member States may only apply the reduced VAT rate to those goods and services which are listed under Annex III of the VAT Directive. While Annex III provides for the reduced rate of VAT to be applied to children's car seats, it does not provide for the reduced rate to be applied to road safety products in general, which are subject to the standard VAT rate of 21%.
Regarding children's car safety seats, in Budget 2007 Ireland availed of the option under Annex III to apply the reduced rate of 13.5% to these products with effect from 1 July 2007.
In relation to amending Annex III, the Deputy will be aware that this could only be done in the context of an overall review at Community level of reduced rates. In July 2008 the EU Commission published a proposal to amend the current Annex III, to expand the general possibility for Member States to apply reduced VAT rates on an optional basis to certain locally supplied services, including labour-intensive services, housing and restaurant services. The Commission proposal does not, however, propose to include road safety equipment in general in Annex III.
242 Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Finance if the income levy announced in Budget 2009 will be applied to income from community employment schemes. [36069/08]
243 Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Finance if the income levy announced in Budget 2009 will be applied to income from job initiatives. [36070/08]
244 Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Finance if the income levy announced in Budget 2009 will be applied to income from occupational or private pensions. [36071/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 242 to 244, inclusive, together.
The position is that the income levy will be payable on all income up to a ceiling of €100,100 at a rate of 1 per cent, with a rate of 2 per cent applying to income in excess of that ceiling.
The provision specifically excludes from the charge any social welfare payments, including the contributory and non-contributory State pensions, made by the Department of Social and Family Affairs.
More detailed provisions, in relation to the collection, recovery, inspection of records, and other provisions required will be set out in the Finance Bill.
245 Deputy Enda Kenny asked the Minister for Health and Children if she will confirm that speech and language therapy services to a school (details supplied) in Dublin 20 will be provided in view of the refusal of her Department to supply a replacement speech and language therapist; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35480/08]
The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
246 Deputy Seán Sherlock asked the Minister for Health and Children when an arrears payment will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Cork in respect of domiciliary care allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35760/08]
The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this case investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
247 Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Health and Children the categories of pensioner to which the health levy will apply; if a pensioner over 70 without a medical card is subject to this levy; and if a pensioner under 70 without a medical card is subject to this levy. [36072/08]
The Health Contribution was introduced by virtue of the Health Contributions Act 1979 and came into effect on the 6th April of that year. The contributions are levied on income at a percentage rate set in pursuance of the Health Contributions Act and are paid over to the Minister for Health and Children in respect of the Vote for the Health Service Executive. The current rate of contribution is 2% of gross income up to € 1,925 per week or €100,100 per annum and 2.5 % on the balance of income in excess of those amounts in a contribution year. Subject to exemptions, the rate of contribution is applicable to all persons over the age of sixteen with reckonable income, earnings or emoluments.
The exemptions, as outlined in Section 11 of the Act, are those whose income does not exceed €26,000 per annum, those who are fully eligible for health services as set out in Section 45 of the Health Act 1970 (i.e. medical cardholders in this State, including those workers covered under EC Regulation 1408/71), recipients of a Social Welfare Widow's/Widower's Pension, One-parent Family Payment or Deserted Wife's Benefit/Allowance, as well as those in receipt of a Widow'/Widower's pension acquired under the social security legislation of an EU member State.
As regards persons aged 70 or over, the current position is that those on receipt of a medical card are exempt from paying health contributions. This will continue to be the case up to the end of this year. I propose to amend the Health Contribution Act 1979, by bringing forward legislation in the upcoming Social Welfare Bill which will exempt all persons aged 70 years and over on or after the 1st January 2009 from the health contribution.
248 Deputy Kathleen Lynch asked the Minister for Health and Children the details of the membership of the National Rehabilitation Strategy Group established to oversee the development of rehabilitation services; the number of meetings held by this group; when it is due to deliver a report; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35375/08]
The Department of Health and Children and the Health Service Executive (HSE) decided to develop a National Policy/Strategy for the Provision of Rehabilitation Services. A Working Group was established in July 2008 to develop the policy/strategy.
The Working Group consists of key stakeholders and experts in the field of rehabilitation and is chaired by James O'Grady, Policy Advisor to the Office for Disability and Mental Health.
The Working Group's Terms of Reference include the development of an appropriate policy framework for rehabilitation and a preferred model of care for the provision of rehabilitation services. The Group will consider the rehabilitation needs of people with static and progressive neurological conditions, traumatic and non-traumatic brain injury and other physically disabling conditions who may benefit from medical, psychological and/or social rehabilitation service provision. The Group will also work with the Neurological Alliance of Ireland and will undertake a public consultation process as part of its work. The range of expertise of the Group includes primary care, neurology, rheumatology, geriatrics, psychology, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and social work. Members have been chosen on the basis of their individual/professional knowledge and experience in the field of rehabilitation rather than their affiliation to a particular organisation.
The membership is as follows: Mr. James O'Grady (Chair); Dr. Philip Crowley, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, DoHC; Mr. Dermot Ryan, Office for Disability and Mental Health, DoHC; Ms. Fionnula Duffy, National Hospitals Office, HSE; Ms. Marion Meany, Primary, Continuing and Community Care, HSE; Dr. Marie Laffoy, Population Health, HSE; Dr. Aine Carroll, Consultant, National Rehabilitation Hospital; Dr. Hugh Monaghan, Consultant, National Rehabilitation Hospital; Mr. Michael Clavin, BRÍ; Ms. Barbara O'Connell, the Peter Bradley Foundation; Ms. Edel Callanan, Merlin Park Galway; Ms. Elaine Whelan, Speech and Language Therapy, HSE; Ms. Alma Joyce, Occupational Therapy, HSE; Dr. Salvatore Giangrasso, Headway; Ms. Anne O'Loughlin, Principal Social Worker, National Rehabilitation Hospital; Dr. John Latham, General Practitioner; Dr. Tim Counihan, Consultant Neurologist; Ms. Barbara Western, MS Ireland; Ms. Shona Lee, Advance Nurse Practitioner, Rheumatology and Prof. Rose-Ann Kenny, Consultant Geriatrician.
The Working Group has met on two occasions and it is proposed to complete its work in the first half of 2009.
249 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will declare the capital investment levels in the health sector building and equipment programme for each year since 1997 for each former health board region; and if she will provide the information in tabular form. [35394/08]

Since its establishment in 2005, the Health Service Executive has had responsibility for all developments under the health sector building and equipping programme, with the exception of developments undertaken by the agencies that are funded directly by my Department. Therefore the Executive is the appropriate body to provide the information requested for this particular period. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have details requested for the period 2005-2007 issued directly to the Deputy.
In the case of the directly funded agencies, the annual capital provision over this period has been €9.329m in 2005, €16.727m in 2006 and €32.389m in 2007.
250 Deputy Olivia Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if she will take action to secure the transfer of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 6W with a learning disability from an inappropriate setting in a hostel for psychiatric patients to an appropriate facility. [35398/08]
The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which under the Health Act, 2004 are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
251 Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Health and Children her policy with respect to genetic testing, general chromosome testing to detect downs syndrome, chromosome testing for leukemia patients and tests for single gene disorders including cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, Huntington’s disease, hereditary ataxias and hereditary cancers; the support her Department makes available for such services; her plans to support or further develop such services; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35400/08]
The National Centre for Medical Genetics seeks to provide a comprehensive service for all patients and families in the Republic of Ireland affected by or at risk of a genetic disorder. The Centre is based in Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin. The Centre provides a service for both children and adults.
The Centre receives Exchequer funding from within the financial determination as notified by the Health Service Executive to Our Lady's Children's Hospital. Accordingly, my Department has asked the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to reply directly to the Deputy on the additional issues raised.
252 Deputy James Reilly asked the Minister for Health and Children her views on a media report (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35401/08]
The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
253 Deputy Seán Barrett asked the Minister for Health and Children if, in view of the decline in the housing market, and in estimates of imputed rental income from house property, she will enter into negotiations with the Health Service Executive with a view to reviewing the mechanism used in determining rental income levels for nursing home subvention purposes and seeking a downward adjustment thereof, in line with current rental expectations; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35403/08]
The Nursing Home Subvention Scheme is governed by the Health (Nursing Homes) (Amendment) Act 2007. The Health Service Executive (HSE) has also produced National Guidelines for the Standardised Implementation of the Nursing Home Subvention Scheme.
The legislation provides for an individual's means to be reviewed. In addition, the Guidelines state that an individual's means should be reviewed at least on an annual basis. This would take account of declines in the housing market as well as reduced levels of rental income. However, the Guidelines further state that reviews of means can be undertaken at any time, when the means of the client warrant a review.
Finally, the legislation also provides for certain decisions of the HSE, including the result of a review of an individual's means, to be appealed.
254 Deputy James Reilly asked the Minister for Health and Children the position regarding the funding for a special needs assistant in respect of a child (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35432/08]
The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which under the Health Act, 2004 are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
255 Deputy James Reilly asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) has not been offered a home care package or a suitable nursing home place; if a care package will be supplied to aid their family in taking that responsibility; if she will look on this request favourably; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35456/08]
Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular case raised by the Deputy. The Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
256 Deputy Deirdre Clune asked the Minister for Health and Children the progress that has been made to provide adults with intellectual disabilities dental services under general anaesthetic in the Cork area; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35469/08]
The Deputy's question relates to the funding, management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
257 Deputy Deirdre Clune asked the Minister for Health and Children when she will be in a position to provide the BCG vaccination to newborns in the Cork region; the steps that have been taken or will be taken to reduce the number of children on the waiting list for the BCG vaccine in the region; if she will provide a timetable for the progress; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35470/08]
The Deputy's question relates to the funding, management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
258 Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Health and Children if the cardiac catheterisation laboratory at Waterford Regional Hospital will be fully funded to allow it to operate on a fulltime basis; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that current funding levels only allow it to operate on a part-time basis; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35473/08]
Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services is a matter for the Health Service Executive and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall Vote. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular issue raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
259 Deputy Darragh O’Brien asked the Minister for Health and Children the position regarding the provision of the proposed primary healthcare facility due to be developed in Balbriggan, County Dublin; the capacity, the proposed staffing levels and the location of same in Balbriggan; the date it is due to open; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35482/08]
Under the Health Act 2004, the management and delivery of health and personal social services is the responsibility of the Health Service Executive. This includes operational responsibility for the establishment of Primary Care Centres. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have these matters investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
260 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children when the prospectus review of critical care services will be completed and published; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35496/08]
The Review in question has been commissioned by the Health Service Executive in order to inform plans for the organisation and delivery of adult critical care services within the hospital system. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the particular issue raised by the Deputy investigated and to have a reply issued directly to him.
261 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children the measures in place to deal with a potential influenza pandemic; the further steps which are to be taken to cater for such risks; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35497/08]
My Department and the Health Service Executive published the National Pandemic Influenza Plan in 2007. The purpose of the plan is to limit the effects of a potential pandemic and to inform the public about pandemic influenza, explain what the Government and Health Services are doing to prepare for a possible pandemic, and give information on what members of the public need to do if there is a pandemic. The plan will continue to be updated on a regular basis to reflect the most up to date advice of the Pandemic Influenza Expert Group and international developments.
The health service response to the threat of an influenza pandemic is based on eight core elements: Communications Strategy, Telephone Hotline, Responsibilities of the Public, Surveillance, Antiviral Drugs, Pandemic Vaccine, Reorganisation of Health Services and Essential Supplies.
In November 2007, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control issued its report into its inspection of Ireland's preparedness for a pandemic. The ECDC report highlights areas where significant progress has been made and also points out where further work is needed. The Report highlights the need to continue work on a whole of Government approach and detailed planning at local level. This work continues to be a priority for my Department and for the HSE.
262 Deputy Joe Carey asked the Minister for Health and Children if she will report on the operation of the mid west out of hours Shannondoc general practitioners service in relation to location and accessibility of doctor on duty, hours and days of cover and cost of service for 2005, 2006 and 2007; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35516/08]
Out of hours co-operatives allow general practitioners to put in place arrangements to provide services to their patients, while their surgeries are closed in the evenings, on weekends and bank holidays. The development of GP co-operatives is in line with the overall health service policy of strengthening primary care services and ensuring that to the greatest extent possible, people's care needs are met in the primary care setting.
Out of hours co-operatives are now in place in all Health Service Executive (HSE) areas, providing coverage in all or in part of all counties. In 2007, the HSE Vote included almost €37 million in baseline funding for these services and the Executive has advised that this figure is available again in 2008. This figure does not include the fees of the participating doctors.
As the Health Service Executive has the operational and funding responsibility for this service, it is the appropriate body to provide the information sought by the Deputy. My Department has therefore requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to address this matter and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
263 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for Health and Children when an organisation (details supplied) in County Carlow will receive approval for a childcare grant. [35527/08]
As the Deputy will be aware, I have responsibility for the National Childcare Investment Programme 2006 — 2010 (NCIP), which will invest €575 million over 5 years, with €358 million of this in capital grant aid for childcare services.
I understand that the service in question has applied for €647,000 in capital funding through it's local County Childcare Committee. This application is currently being assessed by Pobal, which is engaged to administer grants under the NCIP. Following Pobal's assessment of the application it will be forwarded to the Childcare Directorate of my Office for recommendation on funding. The service will be notified of the decision in due course.
264 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for Health and Children when an organisation (details supplied) in County Carlow will receive approval for a childcare grant. [35528/08]
As the Deputy will be aware, I have responsibility for the National Childcare Investment Programme 2006 — 2010 (NCIP), which will invest €575 million over 5 years, with €358 million of this in capital grant aid for childcare services.
I understand that the service in question has applied for €1.2 million in capital funding through it's local County Childcare Committee. This application is currently being assessed by Pobal, which is engaged to administer grants under the NCIP. Following Pobal's assessment of the application it will be forwarded to the Childcare Directorate of my Office for recommendation on funding. The service will be notified of the decision in due course.
265 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Health and Children the annual costs incurred by her Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35557/08]
266 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Health and Children the progress made by her Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35572/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 265 and 266 together.
As the Deputy will be aware my Department is not one of the Departments scheduled for decentralisation under the Government's Decentralisation Programme. To date fifty-five civil servants have transferred to decentralising Departments from my Department. Further details in respect of the transfer of these officers are available from the decentralising Departments.
267 Deputy P. J. Sheehan asked the Minister for Health and Children if assistance will be given to a person (details supplied) in Dublin 6W to meet the cost of medical equipment purchased; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35577/08]
Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004 and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall vote. Therefore the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the issue raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
268 Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Health and Children if the colposcopy service is to be retained at Letterkenny General Hospital; the timeframe for the service to be made available to the public; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35580/08]
298 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Health and Children if her Department will maintain existing colposcopy services at Letterkenny General Hospital on a permanent basis; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35932/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 268 and 298 together.
The National Cancer Screening Service (NCSS) is responsible for the implementation of CervicalCheck, the National Cervical Screening Programme. Colposcopy services are an integral part of a population based screening programme. Women who have pre-cancerous cell changes detected by their smear test are referred for colposcopy. The NCSS is making a significant investment to enhance colposcopy services. This will ensure timely access to a quality assured colposcopy service for women who require further investigation.
It is important to ensure that as part of CervicalCheck, women can access colposcopy services within international best practice timeframes, based on adherence to quality assured clinical practice and the achievement of best clinical outcomes for women.
The NCSS has identified eleven colposcopy services to support CervicalCheck initially. The colposcopy service at Letterkenny General Hospital (LGH) has not been identified for initial referrals of women. However, in the interim LGH will continue to provide colposcopy services to women already attending or awaiting colposcopy.
The provision of additional colposcopy services to women in the North West is being examined. The colposcopy service at LGH requires a number of enhancements to meet the quality assurance standards defined by the NCSS. The NCSS is working with LGH and the question of the hospital's future participation in the colposcopy service for CervicalCheck will be considered in this context. I understand that progress on the issue was made in discussions held last week between the NCSS and LGH.
269 Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Health and Children the catchment area covered by the Dungloe, County Donegal clinic under the school dental inspection scheme; the number of days on which the Dungloe clinic is operational; the waiting list for the service; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35581/08]
The Deputy's question relates to the funding, management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
270 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Health and Children if she will commit to date deadlines for the completions of the new accident and emergency unit and the new psychiatric unit at Letterkenny General Hospital; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35600/08]
Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004 and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall vote. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular matter raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
271 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children when she expects to receive the report on the strategic review of Health Service Executive funded adult day services with a view to reconfiguring adult day services to ensure compliance with the Disability Act 2005 and Equality Acts 1998 and 2004; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35604/08]
The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
272 Deputy Alan Shatter asked the Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that waiting lists have escalated to over a year for male circumcisions in a number of hospitals, that the hospitals which currently have a waiting list of more than twelve months include the Children’s University Hospital, Temple Street, Dublin, Waterford Regional Hospital, Kerry General Hospital, Cork University Hospital, Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda and Tallaght Hospital Dublin and that, in particular, Temple Street has the longest waiting list with in excess of 410 waiting for the procedure, 291 for cultural reasons and 120 on clinical grounds; her views on the fact that a report from her Department in 2006 recommended that cultural male circumcisions should be provided by the health service as a matter of policy following on the death of a Nigerian baby in Waterford in 2004 as a result of a botched amateur circumcision; and if she will take the necessary action to have this issue addressed in the interest of the health and welfare of children. [35606/08]
Male circumcision is provided for both cultural and medical reasons. In 2004, my predecessor as Minister for Health and Children established the Advisory Group on Cultural Male Circumcision with the following terms of reference:
To establish the cultural needs for male circumcision;
To address ethical considerations with particular respect to the welfare of children;
To make recommendations on timing and procedures to be followed in the event of male circumcision being considered appropriate; and
To recommend procedures for health care personnel to be followed, following detection of circumcision being performed in a non-health care setting.
The Advisory Group reported in 2005. I endorsed the findings of its Report, including the main recommendation that cultural male circumcision should be made more widely available in Irish hospitals, and requested the Health Service Executive to arrange to implement the recommendations relevant to its statutory remit.
The HSE and the National Treatment Purchase Fund have been collaborating to address the issue of long waiting times for surgical procedures, including those for male circumcision in Temple Street Hospital. My Department has asked the HSE and the NTPF to work together in relation to this issue.
273 Deputy Alan Shatter asked the Minister for Health and Children if the investigation into the delay in publishing the McCoy Report (details supplied) has been completed; the reason for the delay in publishing the report relating to the investigation which was due to be completed and published by 8 July 2008; and when the report will be made available. [35607/08]
As the Deputy is aware, Minister Harney appointed Mr John Hynes, former Secretary General, Department of Social and Family Affairs, to investigate the delay of eight years in relation to the publication of the McCoy report into services provided by the Brothers of Charity, Galway Services. Mr Hynes was due to report to Minister Harney before 8th July 2008. However, this period has been extended, at Mr Hynes's request, to the 31st of October 2008.
274 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Health and Children when a wheelchair replacement will be provided to a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35610/08]

[35621/08]
The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act, 2004.

277 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Health and Children the amount that was granted in pensions in each of the past five years to individuals who retired early from her Department; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35643/08]
278 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Health and Children the amount that was spent in each of the past five years on staff who replaced those who took early retirement; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35658/08]
292 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of staff within her Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reason for granting early retirement; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35831/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 277, 278 and 292 together.
In the period referred to by the Deputies a voluntary early retirement scheme has not been available to staff in the Civil Service. However, there are other arrangements which make provision for retirement earlier than normal pension age in certain circumstances.
Arrangements for cost-neutral early retirement were introduced in 2005 under Department of Finance Circular 10/2005 and are available in the Civil and Public Service generally. In broad terms this facility, which was recommended by the Commission on Public Service Pensions, allows staff who are within ten years of their normal pension age to apply for early retirement with immediate payment of their superannuation benefits. The benefits are actuarially reduced to ensure that the early payment is cost-neutral to the Exchequer.
In addition retirement before normal pension age with immediate payment of superannuation benefits may be permitted on medical grounds. For the Deputies information I am including the following table which details the number of staff who retired from the Department in the last five years.

279 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Health and Children the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, blackberries and other hand-held devices in her Department; if she is satisfied that all personal information held within her Department is secure; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35673/08]
My Department reviews its policies and procedures in relation to data security on an on-going basis. In relation to laptop devices, encryption facilities are being rolled out and this is nearing completion. It has also begun the implementation of security management software that will allow for encryption of data being copied to external devices. A facility to allow for the encryption of sensitive email traffic is also being examined. My Department is participating in the Working Group on the Protection of Personal Data set up by the Department of Finance and will be implementing recommendations from this group. A security handbook has been issued to Departmental staff about good practice in the treatment of personal sensitive data. In addition, guidelines on records management and email advisories are circulated on a regular basis. I am satisfied that adequate measures are being taken to protect the security of personal data held in my Department.
280 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Health and Children the position regarding the draft national quality standards for residential care settings in respect of older people; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35702/08]
Earlier this year the Board of the Health Information and Quality Authority submitted the draft standards that the Deputy is referring to, for approval by the Minister for Health and Children, as required under section 10(2) of the Health Act, 2007. These draft standards are currently under consideration by the Department.
The draft standards and the Regulations required to underpin them are subject to a Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) before finalisation. The RIA process has commenced and it is intended to have the RIA finalised and both the approved standards and Regulations in place in 2009.
281 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Health and Children her views on the availability of physiotherapy, chiropody, dental care, occupational therapy and other essential services for older people who are resident in private nursing homes; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35703/08]
The Health Act, 1970 (as amended) provides for two categories of eligibility for all persons ordinarily resident in the country, i.e. full eligibility (medical card) and limited eligibility (all others). Entitlement to a medical card is determined mainly by reference to means, with provision for discretion to grant a card in cases of ‘undue hardship' where the income guidelines are exceeded, while individuals in the second category are required to pay for certain services.
Medical card holders are entitled to a full range of services including general practitioner services, prescribed drugs and medicines, all in-patient public hospital services in public wards including consultants services, all out-patient public hospital services including consultants services, dental, ophthalmic and aural services and appliances and a maternity and infant care service. Determination of eligibility for medical cards is the responsibility of the Health Service Executive. Individuals with medical cards residing in nursing homes have the same eligibility to services as those in the community.
I believe that the availability of services such as of physiotherapy, chiropody, dental care and occupational therapy should not be dependent on where the individual is residing.
282 Deputy Dan Neville asked the Minister for Health and Children the funding allocated in 2008 to both Limerick City and west Limerick in respect of home care packages; the funding she will provide in 2009 in respect of home care packages in Limerick City and in west Limerick; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35709/08]
Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular matter raised by the Deputy. The Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
283 Deputy Jan O’Sullivan asked the Minister for Health and Children if she will confirm if a doctor was available to a person (details supplied) in County Wexford, who has been seeking to have their records corrected under section 17 of the Freedom of Information Act 1997, between 2 October 1998 and 19 October 2000; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35732/08]
The records of the person concerned have been amended to reflect the fact that the doctor may not always have been available to meet with her prior to 2000, and the person in question was informed in writing of this amendment.
284 Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children if she will support a matter (details supplied). [35739/08]
The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this case investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
285 Deputy Jim O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Health and Children the plans she and the Health Service Executive have to provide long-term surgical services and casualty services on site at Bantry General Hospital, County Cork, post 2009. [35762/08]
286 Deputy Jim O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Health and Children the position regarding urology and orthopaedic clinics at Bantry General Hospital, County Cork; if they have been discontinued; and if so, the reason therefor. [35763/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 285 and 286 together.
Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services is a matter for the Health Service Executive and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall Vote. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular issues raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matters investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.

289 Deputy Jim O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of EU nationals resident here who are automatically entitled to a medical card irrespective of age or means, pursuant to Regulation (EC) 1408/71; and if she will provide a breakdown of the member states of origin of such medical card holders. [35790/08]
Regulation (EC) 1408/71 deals with the coordination of social security, including health care, for those moving within the European Union. Under its provisions, persons residing in Ireland who are attached to the social security system of another member state are entitled to receive health care services in Ireland at the cost of the member state with which they are affiliated. This is in accordance with Annex VI of the Regulation (text relating to Ireland) which states that such persons "are entitled free of charge to all medical treatment provided for by Irish legislation where the cost of this treatment is payable by the institution of a Member State other than Ireland." Such persons receive a medical card as evidence of their entitlement, although this is not based on national legislation.
Such persons include those who are residing in Ireland but employed in another member state; the dependant family members residing in Ireland of people employed in another member state; and pensioners of another member state residing in Ireland who are not also Irish pensioners or employed in Ireland, and their dependants.
In regard to the number of such pensioners residing in Ireland, the most recent statistics provided to my Department indicate that, in 2006, of the 110,000 pensioners resident in Ireland in receipt of a contributory pension from the UK, approximately 51,000 were entitled to hold a medical card under the provisions of the Regulation. In regard to other persons holding medical cards by virtue of their entitlement under the Regulation, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Health Service Executive to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issue directly to the Deputy.
290 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Health and Children the average level of absenteeism within her Department for each of the past five years; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35801/08]
Absenteeism, for the purpose of this reply, is defined as time lost that is attributable to sickness or any other cause not excused through statutory entitlements or conditions of employment. The table below details the percentage of actual days lost to absenteeism in each of the years requested, based on 249 available days for each whole-time equivalent.

293 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of staff within agencies within the remit of her Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reasons for granting early retirement; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35846/08]
The figures in relation to the number of staff in the agencies within the remit of my Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years are being collected at present and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as they are available.
294 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children further to Parliamentary Question No. 135 of 29 April 2008, the position regarding the implementation of the report of the universal neonatal hearing screening group; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35912/08]
The Deputy's question relates to the funding, management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.

My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued to the Deputy.
297 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of physiotherapists working in the west region; the locations at which there are plans to recruit new physiotherapists in this region; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35931/08]
Almost 130,000 people work full-time or part-time in our public health services. In recent years, the Government's ongoing high level of investment in health has achieved and maintained significant increases in the numbers of doctors, nurses and other health care professionals employed in the public health services. The Government has also invested heavily in the education and training of such personnel in order to secure a good supply of graduates to provide for the health care needs of the population into the future.
Subject to overall parameters set by Government, the Health Service Executive has the responsibility for determining the composition of its staffing complement. In that regard, it is a matter for the Executive to manage and deploy its human resources to best meet the requirements of its Annual Service Plan for the delivery of health and personal social services to the public. The Executive is the appropriate body to consider the matter raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
299 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Health and Children the way she is providing BreastCheck programme appointments to women in County Donegal who are not registered with general practitioners; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35933/08]

301 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport if he will make a submission to An Bord Pleanála regarding the proposed reclamation of 52 acres in Dublin Bay indicating the Government’s opposition to this proposal in view of statements made by Deputies supporting the Government; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35448/08]
302 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport if he will order the Dublin Port Company under the Harbours Act 1996 to withdraw its application for permission to infill 52 acres of Dublin Bay from An Bord Pleanála under the Planning and Infrastructure Development Strategic Act 2006; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35449/08]
303 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport if he will instruct Dublin Port to withdraw its reclamation proposals and confirm Government opposition to the proposal at An Bord Pleanála in view of public comments by Deputy Finian McGrath that the abandonment of the Dublin Port proposal to infill a large area of Dublin Bay opposite Clontarf is part of his arrangement and agreement with the Taoiseach to support the Government; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35450/08]
304 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport if he will confirm that the deal with Deputy Finian McGrath to vote for and support the Government includes a commitment to abandon and end an attempt by Dublin Port to infill a large part of Dublin Bay at Clontarf; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35452/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 301 to 304, inclusive, together.
I am aware that Dublin Port Company has made an application to An Bord Pleanála under the Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Act 2006 to reclaim 21 hectares, in order to facilitate proposed infrastructure development.
While planning applications are operational matters for the port company, the strategic infrastructure planning regulations list a number of "prescribed bodies" that must be consulted by An Bord Pleanála prior to any decision being reached. In this instance, the Minister for Transport is such a "prescribed body" and can, therefore, expect to be consulted on the application as part of the planning process.
The National Development Plan 2007-2013 provides for a comprehensive study of the role of Dublin Port, taking account of locational considerations, in the context of overall ports policy on the island of Ireland, wider transport policy, urban development policy, the National Spatial Strategy and national economic policy. My Department has commissioned Indecon International Economic Consultants to undertake this study and a final report is expected in early 2009.
The political agreements that An Taoiseach's predecessor entered into, as leader of Fianna Fáil, with certain deputies are confidential, but they are, as always, based upon the Programme for Government, which incorporates the National Development Plan, approved Government programmes and the annual estimates.
305 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a company (details supplied) is using Shannon Airport; and if he or other Departments have had discussions with regard to same. [35541/08]
I have no function in relation to day-to-day matters at Shannon Airport. These fall within the commercial remit of the Dublin and Shannon Airport Authorities. However, I have made enquiries on this specific matter and I am informed by the Dublin Airport Authority that no company or aircraft operator named Blackwater has used Shannon Airport.
306 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport the restrictions in place on the passage of weaponry through airports here. [35542/08]
The carriage of weapons and munitions of war on civilian aircraft is prohibited under the Air Navigation (Carriage of Munitions of War, Weapons and Dangerous Goods) Order, 1973, as amended, unless an exemption from this prohibition is granted by the Minister for Transport.
The Department of Transport seeks the views of the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform in relation to applications for an exemption from this prohibition. If the weapons/munitions are classified as ‘dangerous goods' by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), the application is also forwarded to the Irish Aviation Authority. The Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform forwards all such applications to the Garda Síochána. If any of these bodies objects, an exemption will not be granted. A copy of the application is also sent to the Department of Defence for information.
Military aircraft carrying munitions require authorisation from the Department of Foreign Affairs. Policy in relation to overflights and landings by foreign military aircraft is based on the Air Navigation (Foreign Military Aircraft) Order 1952.
307 Deputy Joe Carey asked the Minister for Transport if, in view of the 25% share holding the Government holds on behalf of the Irish people in Aer Lingus and the fact that recently published figures indicate that for the first nine months 73,000 more people used the Shannon Heathrow service than the Belfast Heathrow service, he will insist from a financial point of view and in the best economic interests of the State that Aer Lingus as a free market company insist on the best returns possible for its shareholders and reinstate the Shannon Heathrow service; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35543/08]
Commercial decisions of Aer Lingus are a matter for the Board and management of the Company. Aer Lingus is an independent Company and it has to make decisions on a commercial basis.
The State has given a mandate to its three representatives on the Board of Aer Lingus which requests them to seek to ensure that all future decisions of the company that have significant implications for wider Government, aviation or regional development policies are considered at board level. In any such decisions, the State's representatives on the Board are directed to seek to reconcile commercial and public policy objectives.
This mandate is subject to the overriding obligations of directors pursuant to company law to uphold their fiduciary duties and protect the interests of all shareholders.
308 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Transport the annual costs incurred by his Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35561/08]
309 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Transport the progress made by his Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35576/08]
Ten posts from the Department's Road Haulage function and 40 Road Safety Authority posts were decentralised to Loughrea and the move was completed in July 2007. Decentralisation of an additional 62 Road Safety Authority posts (which were not part of the original Government decision) to Ballina was also achieved. All properties are rented or purchased by the Office of Public Works.
310 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Transport the amount that was granted in pensions in each of the past five years to individuals who retired early from his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35647/08]
311 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Transport the amount that was spent in each of the past five years on staff who replaced those who took early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35662/08]
From 2004 to date, thirteen staff in my Department retired before reaching sixty years of age on grounds of ill-health or as per Department of Finance Circular 10/2005: Introduction of cost-neutral early retirement. There were no such retirements in 2004.

312 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Transport the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, blackberries and other hand-held devices in his Department; if he has satisfied himself that all personal information held within his Department is secure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35677/08]
I am informed by my Department's IT security team that we have a suite of security policies which include the security of portable electronic data devices.
All personal data in electronic format is protected using industry best practices. Access to such data is restricted to those officers who have a business requirement to use it. Mechanisms are in place to remotely delete data from any laptop stolen from the Department, which connects to the Internet. Data that has been transferred from my Department's network to laptops is automatically encrypted. All portable devices are password protected when issued to staff.
Personal data on physical files is secured by restricted access to buildings and is locked away in filing cabinets to which only appropriate staff members have access.
Data security measures are regularly reviewed in my Department in the light of changing circumstances. A review is currently underway and its findings are expected to be implemented by early 2009. This review will include, but not be limited to, the security policy for portable electronic data devices.
313 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Transport the position regarding the western rail corridor; if the project to Claremorris will be completed in the time scale as set out in Transport 21; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35754/08]
Transport 21 provides for the re-opening of the Western Rail Corridor on a phased basis in the period to 2015. Work on the line between Ennis and Athenry is due for completion in May 2009 and services between Galway and Limerick are due to commence in early summer 2009. My Department has allocated €60 million to Iarnród Éireann for expenditure this year on the Western Rail Corridor.
Planning and design work on phases 2 (Athenry — Tuam) and 3 (Tuam — Claremorris) is a matter for Iarnród Éireann as part of its Transport 21 programme. The start and completion date of Transport 21 projects, such as phases 2 and 3 of the Western Rail Corridor will be determined by the funding allocation available during the current difficult economic climate.
314 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Transport the average level of absenteeism within his Department for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35805/08]
I do not have a full reply for the Deputy to this question at present, as the issue of absenteeism covers many different types of absences, such as sick leave, parental leave and so on. I understand that clarification has been sought through the Department of Finance, and when this is received, as full an answer as possible will be provided to him.
315 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Transport the average level of staff absenteeism within each of the agencies within his Department’s remit for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35820/08]
The issue of absenteeism within each agency of my Department is a matter for the individual agency.
316 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Transport the number of staff within his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reason for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35835/08]
There have been no early retirement schemes in operation in my Department in the last three years. Staff however may retire before reaching sixty years of age. This may be on grounds of ill-health or as per Department of Finance Circular 10/2005: Introduction of cost-neutral early retirement.
In the last three years twelve staff in my Department retired before reaching sixty years of age: three in 2006, four in 2007 and five to date in 2008.
The grades of the twelve upon retirement were: one Principal Officer, one Assistant Principal Officer, one Higher Executive Officer, four Radio Officers, one Executive Officer, two Staff Officers and 2 Clerical Officers. With the exception of two, aged 46 and 48, all others were in their fifties. Seven of the twelve retirements were on grounds of ill-health.
317 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Transport the number of staff within agencies within the remit of his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reasons for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35850/08]
The operating of early retirement schemes in agencies within the remit of my Department is a day-to-day matter for the agencies.
318 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Transport the reason school transport scheme discriminates between the LUAS light-rail service and other public transport companies under the management of CIÉ in terms of permitting children to get subsidised transport when travelling to and from school; his views on the fact that a large number of children travel to school every day by LUAS and that their parents have to pay sums of money to do so; the steps being taken to resolve this situation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35857/08]
The provision or otherwise of discounted fares to school children or students on Luas or other public transport services referred to by the Deputy is a day–to-day matter for the relevant operator and I have no function in relation to the matter.
319 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport when a commencement date will be announced for Metro West works. [35901/08]
320 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport if he has agreed the final route of Metro West; and the estimated cost associated with preparatory works to date on Metro West. [35902/08]
321 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport the projected costs of the Metro West; and the projected end date. [35903/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 319 to 321, inclusive, together.
The emerging preferred route for Metro West was announced by the RPA in July 2007. The selected route alignment will connect Tallaght, Clondalkin, Liffey Valley, Blanchardstown with Metro North at Metro Park, close to Dublin Airport. It will also provide integration with the Luas Red Line at Tallaght, the Kildare and Maynooth suburban rail lines and the new Lucan Luas line to be delivered under Transport 21.
A further round of consultation is now underway to provide greater definition to certain elements of the route after which the RPA will proceed with the preparation of a Railway Order application. The RPA has spent €3.46 million to the end of September on consultation, planning and design for Metro West.
The start and completion dates of Transport 21 projects, such as Metro West, which have not yet commenced will be determined by the funding allocation available during the current difficult economic climate. The provision of increased capacity will be a key priority in determining public transport investment priorities in the period ahead.
I am not in a position to publish the estimated capital cost of the Metro West project in advance of the completion of the public procurement process. The publication of such commercially sensitive information prior to the completion of the competitive procurement process would prejudice the State's capacity to derive maximum value for money in respect of the project.
322 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport if he has received the report of the Railway Procurement Agency in relation to the LUAS line to Lucan from the city centre; and the projected start date, the projected costs and the costs to date associated with the project. [35904/08]
On the 10th October 2008, the Railway Procurement Agency (RPA) published the emerging preferred route corridor for the Luas line to Lucan (Line F) following extensive public consultation.
Having selected the route corridor, the RPA is now undertaking the next phase of consultation with key stakeholders which will feed into the detailed design of the line. Following completion of this work the RPA will submit a Railway Order application to An Bord Pleanála in respect of this line. The RPA is not required to report to me in relation to the selection of preferred routes.
I am not in a position to give any information in relation to the budget for Luas Line F project in advance of the completion of the public procurement process. It is intended to procure the project mainly through a Public Private Partnership. The publication of such commercially sensitive information prior to the completion of the competitive procurement process would prejudice the State's capacity to derive maximum value for money in respect of the project.
The start and completion dates of Transport 21 projects, such as the Luas to Lucan, which have not yet commenced will be determined by the funding allocation available during the current difficult economic climate. The provision of increased capacity will be a key priority in determining public transport investment priorities in the period ahead.
323 Deputy Rory O’Hanlon asked the Minister for Transport the position regarding the upgrade of the road from Dundalk to Cavan; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35925/08]
The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads in its area is a matter for the local authority, to be financed from its own resources, supplemented by State grants provided by my Department. The initial selection and prioritisation of projects to be financed from these grants is also a matter for the local authority.
In 2008, I allocated a grant of €200,000 to Cavan County Council for the East/West Link Road from Dundalk to Sligo under the Strategic Non-National Roads grant category. This stream of grants was introduced in 2006 to cater for major schemes that make a significant contribution towards the National Spatial Strategy.
Cavan County Council is procuring engineering consultants to prepare a feasibility report for the East/West Link Road. Following the satisfactory outcome of this study the consultants will carry out the preliminary design of the regional and local road section of the road. These stages are expected to take 24 months.
324 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he is satisfied that the provisions of the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 are sufficient for ensuring the protection of electronic and paper based records within public services and private sector enterprises; if new measures are needed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35630/08]
I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 45 of Thursday 2 October, 2008. As stated in that reply, I have decided to establish a broad consultative process, to include the relevant stakeholders, with a view to studying the complex issues arising, including the question of a mandatory reporting system, and incorporating an examination of the economic impact of any changes to Data Protection Law. The group, which will be chaired by Eddie Sullivan, former Secretary General for Public Service Management and Development, Department of Finance will have responsibility for examining the relevant issues, is in the process of being convened.
325 Deputy Pat Rabbitte asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of community gardaí allocated to a division (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35372/08]
326 Deputy Bernard Allen asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform his proposals to set up a dedicated community policing unit. [35374/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 325 and 326 together.
I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that as of 30th September 2008, the latest date for which figures are readily available, there were 698 members attached to the Community Policing Unit of An Garda Síochána and of these, there were 15 members attached to the Community Policing Unit of Tipperary Garda Division in the following stations:

It is, of course, the case that all Gardaí have a role to play in addressing community policing issues as and when the need arises. In that sense, community policing involves far more than a single unit within the Garda Síochána, and I agree with the view expressed by the Garda Inspectorate in their third report entitled "Policing in Ireland—Looking Forward" that community policing is a fundamental policing philosophy and that there is a strong foundation for it in Ireland. I am also looking forward to receiving from the Commissioner, in the near future, a copy of the final report of a working group developing proposals for a comprehensive model of rural and urban community policing.
It is the responsibility of the Garda Commissioner to allocate personnel throughout the Force taking everything into account. The situation will be kept under review and when additional personnel next become available the allocation of Community Gardaí will be fully considered by the Commissioner within the overall context of the policing throughout the country.
327 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the amount of money spent on capital investment by his Department for each year since 1997 in each of the 26 counties. [35395/08]
Capital Expenditure by my Department from 1997 to the end of 2007 was as follows:

It is not possible in the time available to provide this information County by County. In the period 2001 to 2005 Capital Expenditure on Childcare was attached to my Department. In 2006 it transferred to the Office of the Minister for Children, thus accounting for the reduction in capital expenditure in 2006.
328 Deputy Charles Flanagan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of licences for the importation of fireworks issued in 2007 and to date in 2008; if he is satisfied with the criteria for the importation and possession of fireworks; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35406/08]
As the Deputy may be aware, the Explosives Act 1875 provides for the control of the importation, manufacture, storage and sale of fireworks. Accordingly, fireworks may not be imported into the State except under an importation licence granted by my Department. It is long standing policy that these licences are granted only for organised displays conducted by competent and professional operators. Details of licences issued by my Department are set out in the following table.

329 Deputy Charles Flanagan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of seizures of illegal fireworks made in 2007 and to date in 2008 with the value of each consignment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35407/08]
As the Deputy may be aware, the Explosives Act, 1875 provides for the control of the importation, manufacture, storage and sale of fireworks. The 1875 Act was amended by the Criminal Justice Act, 2006 which came into effect in August 2006, to provide for new offences governing the possession of illegally imported fireworks with intent to supply. They also provided for significantly increased penalties governing the illegal importation, sale and use of fireworks.
Under the provisions, it is an offence: for any person to possess a firework with intent to sell or supply, without a licence; to throw an ignited firework at any person or property; and to light unlicensed fireworks in a public place.
The penalty for such offences is now a fine of up to €10,000 or 5 years' imprisonment or both. The simple possession of fireworks without a licence is also an offence for which a person may be liable to a fine of up to €10,000.
Given the new offences and increased penalties that now exist, the enforcement capability of An Garda Síochána is greatly strengthened in combating the illegal importation, sale and use of fireworks. In this regard, I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that there were 64 seizures of fireworks recorded for 2007, worth an estimated €31,307 and there are 28 seizures recorded to date in 2008 worth almost €24,000. The Deputy will appreciate that it is the period around now that seizures would be expected to be at their highest. I have spoken to the Garda Commissioner in relation to intensifying Garda activity against fireworks and other anti-social behaviour during the Hallowe'en period. The Commissioner has assured me that activity is being undertaken.
330 Deputy Charles Flanagan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of arrests which took place arising from public order offences during the October bank holiday weekend in 2007; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35408/08]
The Garda Síochána Act 2005 makes provision for the compilation and publication of crime statistics by the Central Statistics Office, as the national statistical agency, and the CSO has established a dedicated unit for this purpose. I have requested the CSO to provide the statistics sought by the Deputy directly to him.
331 Deputy Charles Flanagan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the action, he proposes to take to reduce the prevalence of public order offences during the Halloween 2008 period; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35409/08]
I am informed by the Garda authorities that Operation Tombola is in place for the Hallowe'en period. Operational orders have been put in place in every Garda Region, in particular in the Dublin Metropolitan Region and border Divisions, to prevent and detect the organised importation for sale of fireworks in the lead up to Halloween and to police the Halloween period.
Persons suspected of engaging in the importation, supply or sale of fireworks will be identified and targeted. Intelligence-led operations and searches will be conducted by the Garda authorities.
Proactive policing arrangements are in place which will cover the period up to, and the night of, 31 October. Additional patrols will be carried out by uniform personnel as part of high-visibility policing initiatives, supported by plain-clothes personnel, including District Detective and Drug Units, Divisional Crime Task Forces, Traffic Corps personnel and Community Policing and Mountain Bike Units. The provisions of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994, the Criminal Justice Act 2006 and the Intoxicating Liquor Act 2008 will be strictly enforced.
An Garda Síochána is also engaging with local communities, local authorities and other stakeholders, such as Dublin Bus, in putting plans in place to address the issues that arise around the Hallowe'en period. An Garda Síochána have put liaison arrangements in place for the removal of identified stockpiles of combustible materials. Through the Schools Programme and other local programmes, members of An Garda Síochána publicise the message that fireworks are illegal and highlight the dangers associated with illegally imported fireworks. Gardaí have also advised managers of off-licences to ensure that staff are made aware of their obligations under licensing legislation relating to the sale of alcohol, in particular to underage persons.
Members of An Garda Síochána from local Community Policing Units have been instructed to liaise with local authorities and local residents to ensure that any information received regarding bonfires and other anti-social behaviour is acted upon in advance of Hallowe'en. During this period additional public order patrols will also be directed to pay particular attention to areas where anti-social behaviour and drinking in public may occur. Offences reported to An Garda Síochána will be dealt with appropriately.
332 Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will liaise with the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to try and bring local authority and garda divisional boundaries into line with each other; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35415/08]
The Garda Síochána's 2008 Policing Plan contains the Garda Commissioner's proposals to realign Garda Divisional boundaries to make them coterminous with local authority boundaries. One of the principle reasons for these changes is to facilitate both local Garda and local authority management in the administration of Joint Policing Committees as provided for under Section 22(1) of the Garda Síochána Act 2005.
On 24 September, I launched, along with my colleague the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, the roll out of the Joint Policing Committees established by the Garda Síochána Act 2005 to local authority areas in the State beyond the 29 already established under a pilot phase. I believe that these Committees are a very significant development which will make policing more responsive to local needs.
333 Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the measures he has put in place to deal with illegal fireworks and bonfires during Halloween 2008; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35416/08]
I have spoken to the Garda Commissioner in relation to intensifying Garda activity against fireworks and other anti-social behaviour during the Hallowe'en period. The Commissioner has assured me that that activity is being undertaken.
As the Deputy may be aware, the Explosives Act, 1875 provides for the control of the importation, manufacture, storage and sale of fireworks. The 1875 Act was amended by the Criminal Justice Act, 2006 which came into effect in August 2008, to provide for new offences governing the possession of illegally imported fireworks with intent to supply. It also provided for significantly increased penalties governing the illegal importation, sale and use of fireworks.
Under the provisions, it is an offence for any person to possess a firework with intent to sell or supply, without a licence, to throw an ignited firework at any person or property, and to light unlicensed fireworks in a public place.
The penalty for such offences is now a fine of up to €10,000 or 5 years' imprisonment or both. An information campaign has started, in the national and regional newspapers, to highlight to the public the dangers of fireworks and the significant penalties that exist for illegal use. The campaign will run for the next two weeks up to Hallowe'en.
I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that Operation ‘Tombola' — an annual Garda operation — is in place for policing during the Hallowe'en period. A few weeks ago I spoke with him about intensifying the campaign this year. Operational Orders have been put in place in every Garda Region, in particular in the Dublin Metropolitan Region and Border Divisions to prevent and detect the organised importation for sale of fireworks in the lead up to Halloween and to police the Hallowe'en period. Persons suspected of engaging in the importation, supply or sale of fireworks will be identified and targeted. Intelligence-led operations and searches will be conducted.
An Garda Síochána is also engaging with local communities, Local Authorities and other stakeholders, such as Dublin Bus, in putting plans in place to address the issues that arise around the Hallowe'en period. Through the Schools Programme and other local programmes members of An Garda Síochána also emphasise that fireworks are illegal and highlight the dangers associated with illegally imported fireworks. Gardaí have a liaison mechanism in place with Local Authorities for the removal of identified stockpiles of combustible materials, in advance of 31st October 2008. Gardaí have also advised Managers of Off-Licences to ensure that staff are apprised of their obligations and responsibilities under Licensing legislation relating to the sale of alcohol, in particular to underage persons.
I am also informed that proactive policing arrangements are in place covering the period coming up to and the night of the 31st October 2008. Additional patrols will be carried out by Uniform personnel as part of high-visibility policing initiatives supported by plain-clothes personnel, including District Detective and Drug Units, Divisional Crime Task Force, Traffic Corps personnel and Community Policing and Mountain Bike Units. The provisions of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994 will be rigidly enforced.
The Intoxicating Liquor Act 2008, which came into effect on 30th July, 2008, made ‘Theatre Licences' subject to the prohibited hours' provisions for the sale and consumption of alcohol. The new Act also introduced new prohibited hours for off-licences and new conditions for the issuing of off-licences and theatre licences. Provision is also made to seize alcohol and to issue Fixed Charge Penalty Notices for certain offences contrary to the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act, 1994.
Local policing plans are predicated on the prevention of anti-social and public order offences; the prevention of crime including crimes of violence against persons and property; and the maintenance of an environment conducive to the improvement of quality of life of the residents. Patrols are directed to pay particular attention to these areas where local youths tend to congregate and where the likelihood of both anti-social behaviour and drinking on the streets may occur in order to reduce incidences of public disorder and anti-social behaviour type activities, particularly at this time of year.
334 Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position regarding a matter (details supplied). [35463/08]
I am informed by the Garda authorities that Gardaí from Raheny and Clontarf Garda stations police the area concerned and maintain regular contact with the management of the premises referred to in order to address any public order issues which may arise.
I am further informed that local Garda management is aware of anti-social behaviour in the vicinity of the premises and has designated it a public order hot-spot. Additional Gardaí, including a dedicated public order unit, are deployed in the area, particularly during weekends and when events are being held, to prevent and detect anti-social behaviour and other public disorder offences. Inspections are carried out of all licensed premises in the area to ensure that the provisions of the liquor licensing acts and other relevant legislation are being complied with.
A policing forum, consisting of relevant stakeholders, including the Inspector in Charge, Clontarf, local residents' groups and the management of local licensed premises, has been established and meets on a regular basis. The forum is engaged in on-going discussions regarding licensing and residents' concerns.
A policing strategy, proportionate to anti-social issues in the Garda District generally, has been put in place by local Garda management to target public order and other anti-social type behaviour offences. Several factors, including the total number of patrons attending licensed premises and other venues within the District, ongoing public order crime trends, as well as the concerns and issues raised by local residents' association and community groups with An Garda Síochána, local representatives and the local authorities, are taken into consideration.
Current policing plans in the area are predicated on the prevention of anti-social behaviour and public disorder, the prevention of crime, including crimes of violence against persons and property, and the maintenance of an environment conducive to the improvement of quality of life of the residents. Garda units are directed to pay particular attention to areas where local youths tend to congregate. This strategy will continue to be central to the delivery of a policing service to the area in question.
335 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when a person (details supplied) can expect an outcome to their application for citizenship. [35483/08]
I am pleased to inform the Deputy that I have approved the application of the person in question and a certificate of naturalisation will issue once documents requested by the Citizenship Section of my Department have been received.
336 Deputy John Cregan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will confirm whether a road traffic offence, that is, a drink driving conviction, results in a person having a criminal record; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35491/08]
I am informed by the Garda authorities that a conviction for a drink driving offence under the Road Traffic Acts 1961, as amended, will result in a conviction for that offence being recorded in respect of that person.
337 Deputy Mary O’Rourke asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will review the case of a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath who has applied for leave to remain here on humanitarian grounds. [35495/08]
The person concerned applied for asylum on 8 October 2003. Her application was refused following consideration of her case by the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner and, on appeal, the Refugee Appeals Tribunal.
Subsequently, in accordance with Section 3 of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended), the person concerned was informed, by letter dated 21 September 2004, that the Minister proposed to make a Deportation Order in respect of her. She was given the options, to be exercised within 15 working days, of leaving the State voluntarily, of consenting to the making of a Deportation Order or of making representations to the Minister setting out the reasons why she should be allowed to remain temporarily in the State. Representations have been submitted on behalf of the person concerned.
As a final decision has not yet been made in the case of the person concerned, she was, by letter dated 29 September 2008, invited to update any representations already made and to submit further representations if she so wished.
The case file of the person concerned, including all representations submitted, will be fully considered, under Section 3(6) of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended) and Section 5 of the Refugee Act, 1996 (as amended) on the prohibition of refoulement, before the file is passed to me for decision.
338 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason for the delay in bringing forward the Enforcement of Fines Bill; and the further reason it does not feature on the legislative programme this term. [35513/08]
I am currently preparing a Fines Bill for which I intend to obtain government approval for publication in the near future. The Bill will include provisions dealing with the indexation of fines, payment of fines by instalment and equality of impact of fines imposed by the courts. These issues were also addressed in the Fines Bill published in 2007 which is still on the Order Paper. Work has also been on-going in my Department on the preparation of additional provisions which will give the courts new powers to deal with the situation where a person fails to pay a fine by the due date for payment.
As the proposed new Bill will incorporate redrafted provisions contained in the Bill published last year, I intend to seek government approval to withdraw the 2007 Bill from the Dáil Order Paper on publication of the Bill currently being drafted. So as not to give an impression that there are two separate Fines Bills, the Enforcement of Fines Bill has been excluded from the current session's legislative programme.
339 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will make a statement detailing the progress that has been made on the development of a new state of the art training facility for An Garda Síochána since a 250 acre site in County Tipperary was purchased for this purpose at a cost of €4.3 million in 2006. [35515/08]
It is proposed to develop the lands at Dromard, Templemore, Co. Tipperary as a centre of excellence for the training of members of An Garda Síochána across a range of disciplines. I am advised by the Garda authorities that the development of the site is at the conceptual planning stage.
I am further advised that the Garda Commissioner has established a Garda Accommodation Programme Board, to prepare a long-term accommodation strategy for the force. The training facilities required for An Garda Síochána will be fully considered in the context of this Strategy and in the light of available resources.
340 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the circumstances and sequence of events relating to a recent interview with the immigration section in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35522/08]
I refer the Deputy to the Reply to Parliamentary Question No. 222 of Thursday, 3 April 2008. The status of the person concerned remains as set out in that Reply.
The person concerned continues to meet the presentation requirements of the Garda National Immigration Bureau in accordance with Section 8(1)(b) of the Immigration Act 1999, as amended. He is due to present again on Tuesday 28 October 2008. The enforcement of the Deportation Order is an operational matter for the GNIB.
341 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when permission to remain in this State will be extended to a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35523/08]
The person concerned has been granted Leave to Remain in the State for the period to 9 October 2010. This decision was conveyed in writing to the person concerned by letter dated 9 October 2008.
342 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when construction of an extension to the garda station at Carlow town will commence; the amount of finance spent on this project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35526/08]
The programme of replacement and refurbishment of Garda accommodation around the country is based on agreed priorities established by An Garda Síochána in consultation with the Garda representative associations. The programme is progressed by the Garda authorities working in close cooperation with the Office of Public Works, which has responsibility for the provision and maintenance of Garda accommodation.
As the project is at a preliminary stage, only a small amount of money has been expended by the Office of Public Works to date. The timetable for the extension to the station will be considered in the light of available resources and in the context of the Garda Accommodation Strategy currently being developed.
343 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if An Garda Síochána have conducted searches of flights by an airline (details supplied) landing in Shannon Airport. [35540/08]
As the Deputy will be aware, it is not the policy of the Garda Síochána to comment on security matters. I am advised by the Garda authorities, however, that local Garda management is satisfied that the measures currently in place are appropriate to ensure the safety and security of personnel, staff and passengers at the airport.
344 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the annual costs incurred by his Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35558/08]
The details requested by the Deputy in relation to non-property costs incurred by my Department are set out below:
2005 — €0.6m
2006 — €0.3m
2007 — €0.6m
2008 (to end 2nd quarter) — €0.8m
Expenditure in relation to property and the provision of office accommodation are matters for the Office of Public Works.
The Deputy may wish to note that the expenditure involved has given rise to the transfer of five hundred and fifty posts under the decentralisation programme.
345 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the progress made by his Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35573/08]
I would refer the Deputy to my Reply to Parliamentary Questions 368 and 403 of 30th September last.
My Department's decentralisation programme has made excellent progress. We have succeeded in transferring five hundred and fifty posts to all of our seven locations around the country and this represents nearly sixty per cent of my Department's overall target.
As the Deputy will be aware, matters relating to the acquisition of property and the provision of office accommodation are the responsibility of the Office of Public Works.
346 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if a speeding offence committed by a person employed by their church should be used as a reason for refusing citizenship in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare in view of the fact that they were not the driver involved; if the offence of the driver should be attributed to the pastor of their church in view of the fact that they did not commit any such offence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35611/08]
An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to by the Deputy was submitted to me for a decision in July, 2008 and based on the information to hand at the time I decided to refuse the application.
The applicant wrote to me on 25 September, 2008 providing more up to date information and I have instructed officials in the Citizenship Section of my Department to review the case in the light of the new information to hand and to resubmit the case to me for a new decision as soon as possible.
347 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the amount that was granted in pensions in each of the past five years to individuals who retired early from his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35644/08]
348 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the amount that was spent in each of the past five years on staff who replaced those who took early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35659/08]
358 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of staff within his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reason for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35832/08]
359 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of staff within agencies within the remit of his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reasons for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35847/08]
I propose to answer Questions Nos. 347, 348, 358 and 359 together.
I assume that the Deputies are referring to the Cost Neutral Early Retirement Scheme which was introduced into the Civil Service with effect from 1 April 2004. Under the terms of the Scheme, employees may retire between the ages of 50 and 59 on a reduced pension, at no net cost to the Exchequer. It should be pointed out that this is not a redundancy scheme and that staff who retire under the Scheme derive no additional financial benefit from availing of the Scheme. These staff are replaced in the normal course. In the period 1 April 2004 to 30 September 2008, a total of 5 staff in my Department and its Agencies have availed of the Scheme.
349 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, blackberries and other hand-held devices in his Department; if he has satisfied himself that all personal information held within his Department is secure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35674/08]
I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 389 of Tuesday 30 September, 2008. The position remains unchanged.
350 Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform further to Parliamentary Question No. 1217 of 30 January 2008, the status of an application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35680/08]
I am advised by officials in the Long Term Residency Section of my Department that long term residency was granted to the person referred to by the Deputy on the 9th May 2008 and the person concerned was notified by post on that date.
351 Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if, in relation to the application to INIS for temporary permission to remain in the State for the purposes of a work permit renewal in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Wexford who has resided here since 2002, he will take steps to expedite registration of permission to remain in order to ensure continuity of the applicant’s employment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35707/08]
I have been informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that a decision was made in relation to the immigration status of the person referred to by the Deputy and she was informed of that decision in writing on the 17th October 2008.
352 Deputy Edward O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will make grant aid available from his Department to a person (details supplied) in County Cork in respect of an installation. [35711/08]
My Department does not operate a grant scheme such as that referred to by the Deputy. However, the person referred to may be eligible for assistance under the Scheme of Community Support for Older People which is funded by the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. The purpose of the Scheme is to assist the community based provision of socially monitored alarm systems and security equipment such as sensor lighting, window locks, door locks and door chains for older people.
353 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the population growth that has taken place in Rathcoole, Saggart and the City West area over the past five years and the pressures this places on Rathcoole Garda Station; the way he will respond to this pressure in consultation with the Garda Commissioner; his views on whether the station warrants being brought back to a 24 hour service; if a new, more suitable station needs to be built; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35730/08]
It is the view of Garda management that the areas in question are adequately covered by Gardaí from Clondalkin, Tallaght and Rathcoole stations which, at the end of September, had personnel strengths of 101, 187 and 28 respectively. Rathcoole Garda station is open to the public between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. (closed between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.). However, patrols are performed on a 24 hour basis from the station by uniform and plain-clothes personnel, including detective, Community Policing and Mountain-bike units. Any extension of the current opening hours of Rathcoole Garda station would restrict the mobile service being provided to the local residential and business communities. The situation will continue to be monitored and kept under constant review. The policing accommodation needs of the station will be considered in the context of the Garda Accommodation Programme Board which has been established under the chairmanship of the Chief Administration Officer to prepare a long-term accommodation strategy for the Force.
It is the responsibility of the Garda Commissioner to allocate personnel throughout the Force taking everything into account. In that regard, the needs of the areas referred to by the Deputy will be fully considered by the Commissioner within the overall context of policing throughout the country.
354 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when a decision will be made on an application for business permission in respect of a person (details supplied) in view of the length of time since the application was submitted to his Department. [35781/08]
The Deputy was recently informed that the applications in question are currently under consideration and are being processed by the Immigration Operations Section of my Department. The position remains unchanged and the persons concerned will be notified of a decision in due course.
355 Deputy Fergus O’Dowd asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform further to Parliamentary Question No. 870 of 17 June 2006 the position regarding an application for citizenship in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Louth; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35789/08]
Officials in the Citizenship Section of my Department inform me that processing of the application from the person referred to in the Deputy's Question has commenced and that the file will be forwarded to me for a decision in the coming months.
I will inform the person in question when I have reached a decision on the matter.
356 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the average level of absenteeism within his Department for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35802/08]
357 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the average level of staff absenteeism within each of the agencies within his Department’s remit for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35817/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 356 and 357 together.
The Deputy should be aware that the Agencies within my Department's remit are staffed, for the most part, by staff of my Department and that staff transfer between the Department and its Agencies on a regular basis. In the circumstances, the most useful comparable figures are those retained by my Department for all Department staff. The figures for each of the last five years are as follows: 2003 — 4.57%; 2004 — 4.91%; 2005 — 4.42%; 2006 — 6.04%; 2007 — 4.07%.
360 Deputy Charles Flanagan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will consult with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, with regard to making a request to the Government of Botswana in the matter of an investigation into the death of a person (details supplied); and if in particular, a request might be made to the Botswana authorities for a national police force inquiry. [35852/08]
I understand that the Minister for Foreign Affairs is answering a separate question put to him on this matter today.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that they have no jurisdiction in respect of the incident referred to. I am further informed that there is an ongoing Garda investigation into an allegation of perjury alleged to have occurred during a coroner's inquest in this jurisdiction on 30 May, 2007.
I am informed that the Garda authorities keep the family of the person referred to advised of developments on a regular basis.
361 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position regarding a new State laboratory. [35905/08]
I presume the Deputy is referring to the Forensic Science Laboratory, which comes under the aegis of my Department. I can confirm that it remains as priority to provide a new facility for the Laboratory and that the development of proposals in this regard is proceeding.
362 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position regarding the roll-out of secure digital radio for the Gardaí here including a time-frame within which it is expected to be fully operational. [35906/08]
363 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when gardaí in Limerick can expect to be operating secure digital radio. [35907/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 362 and 363 together.
The provision of a secure digital radio service for the Garda Síochána is already well underway. The selected service provider, TETRA Ireland Ltd., is currently putting in place the requisite infrastructure. The Garda authorities advise that they are working closely with the service provider so that rollout of the service to members of the Force will closely follow the provision of the infrastructure. Operation of the new digital radio service is scheduled to commence in the Dublin Metropolitan Region in Spring, 2009, with nationwide coverage to be achieved over a 2 year period. I am further advised by the Garda authorities that rollout of the service in the Limerick Division is scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2010.
364 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when an application for leave to remain here on humanitarian grounds will be decided on in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35919/08]
The person concerned applied for asylum on 3 March 2005. His application was refused following consideration of his case by the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner and, on appeal, the Refugee Appeals Tribunal.
Subsequently, in accordance with Section 3 of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended), the person concerned was informed, by letter dated 13 April 2007, that the Minister proposed to make a Deportation Order in respect of him. He was given the options, to be exercised within 15 working days, of leaving the State voluntarily, of consenting to the making of a Deportation Order or of making representations to the Minister setting out the reasons why he should be allowed to remain temporarily in the State. In addition, he was notified of his entitlement to apply for Subsidiary Protection in the State in accordance with the European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations, 2006 (S.I. No. 518 of 2006). The person concerned submitted an application for Subsidiary Protection in the State in accordance with these Regulations and this application is under consideration at present. When consideration of this application has been completed, the person concerned will be notified in writing of the outcome.
In the event that the Subsidiary Protection application is refused, the case file of the person concerned, including all representations submitted, will then be considered under Section 3(6) of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended) and Section 5 of the Refugee Act, 1996 (as amended) on the prohibition of refoulement. When this latter consideration has been completed, the file is passed to me for decision.
365 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position in relation to a family reunification application in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35920/08]
I would refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Question 821 of 17 June, 2008, in reply to his previous Questions concerning the person in question.
Further to that reply, I also wish to advise the Deputy that the Family Reunification Scheme applies only to those people who have been granted Refugee status in the State. As the spouse of the person concerned does not fall into this category, it is not open to either person to apply under the above scheme. The position with regard to the Visa matters referred to in my initial reply remains unchanged.
366 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the current or expected residency status in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 24; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35921/08]
The person concerned applied for asylum on 10 December 2002. His application was refused following consideration of his case by the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner and, on appeal, the Refugee Appeals Tribunal.
Subsequently, in accordance with Section 3 of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended), the person concerned was informed, by letter dated 9 December 2004, that the Minister proposed to make a Deportation Order in respect of him. He was given the options, to be exercised within 15 working days, of leaving the State voluntarily, of consenting to the making of a Deportation Order or of making representations to the Minister setting out the reasons why he should be allowed to remain temporarily in the State. Representations were submitted on behalf of the person concerned at that time.
The person concerned subsequently submitted an application for Subsidiary Protection in the State in accordance with the European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations, 2006 (S.I. No. 518 of 2006). This application is under consideration at present. When consideration of this application has been completed, the person concerned will be notified in writing of the outcome.
In the event that the Subsidiary Protection application is refused, the case file of the person concerned, including all representations submitted, will then be considered under Section 3(6) of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended) and Section 5 of the Refugee Act, 1996 (as amended) on the prohibition of refoulement. When this latter consideration has been completed, the case file of the person concerned is passed to me for decision.
The Deputy might wish to note that the person concerned also made an application for permission to remain in the State in accordance with the revised arrangements applicable to the non-EEA national parents of Irish born children, born in the State before 1 January 2005. The revised arrangements in question, commonly referred to as the IBC/05 Scheme, were announced by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform on 15 January 2005. The person concerned did not fulfil the requirement of the Scheme in that he did not provide evidence that he was the parent or legal guardian of an Irish born child. He was made aware of the refusal of his IBC/05 application by letter dated 14 November 2005.
367 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will expedite an application for naturalisation by persons (details supplied) in County Cork whose parents are recently naturalised; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35927/08]
The Deputy will appreciate that the granting of Irish Citizenship through naturalisation is an honour and applications must be processed in a way which preserves the necessary checks and balances to ensure that it is not undervalued and that it is given only to persons who satisfy the necessary qualifying criteria.
Applications for a certificate of naturalisation on behalf of the persons referred to in the Deputy's Question were received in the Citizenship Section of my Department in August 2008.
Applications on behalf of minors are dealt with by a separate unit in the Citizenship Section. Because they generally require less processing than standard adult applications, it is usually possible to finalise them more quickly. Based on current processing trends, it is expected that the applications on behalf of the persons concerned will be processed in January 2009.
368 Deputy Mary O’Rourke asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will review the case of persons (details supplied) in County Westmeath. [35945/08]
Applications for certificates of naturalisation from the persons referred to in the Deputy's Question were received in the Citizenship Section of my Department in November 2007.
On examination of the applications submitted it was determined that three out of the four applications did not meet the statutory residency requirements as set out in the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act, 1956, as amended. Letters informing the persons in question were issued on 3 April, 2008 and 4 April, 2008.
It is open to the persons concerned to lodge new applications if they are in the position to meet the statutory residency requirements applicable at that time.
The fourth application did meet the statutory residence requirements and is being dealt with in chronological order as this is deemed to be the fairest to all applicants. Officials in that Section are currently processing applications received in June 2006. The current processing time for certificates of naturalisation is approximately 28 months.
369 Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the status of the application to remain in the State in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Wexford; when a decision will be made; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36075/08]
The permission to remain in the State granted to the person concerned under the IBC/05 Scheme expired on 22 July 2007. I can confirm that an application for renewal of that permission has been received in my Department.
I am informed that a number of charges in relation to the person are still before the Courts. Until such time as these issues have been concluded by the Courts it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the matter in further detail, nor would it be practical for my Department to process the application prior to any Judicial Decisions having been reached.
370 Deputy Darragh O’Brien asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the grants available to Irish students studying in third level colleges in the USA; and the way a person can apply for them. [35410/08]
The Fulbright Commission (Ireland-United States Commission for Educational Exchange) provides scholarships to Irish citizens to lecture, research or study in the United States and for US citizens to lecture, research or study in Ireland. The Commission has supported more than 1,600 Irish postgraduate students, academics and professionals who have studied in top US colleges and research institutes and more than 600 US students and scholars have come to Ireland. In this academic year, 21 Irish students and 9 scholars will study in the US.
Each year the Commission advertises awards for Irish post-graduates, students and professionals as follows:
1. All Discipline Fulbright Awards
2. Irish Studies / Language Fulbright Awards
3. International Fulbright Science & Technology Award — for students only
4. Fulbright — Schuman Award.
The deadline for applications for the 2009-2010 academic year is the 5th of December 2008. Further details and information on applications can be found on the Fulbright Commission's website http://www.fulbright.ie/
The Department of Education and Science part-funds two projects which may overlap with the area of interest, The Washington Ireland Programme and The Wider Horizons Programme.
The Washington Ireland Programme has been in operation since 1995. It extends the opportunity to promising university students from Ireland north and south to partake in summer career training and professional development in the US (mainly Washington). The objective of this programme is to bring together young adults from all traditions in Ireland who show potential leadership qualities and provide them with a first hand experience of US government and culture. In 2007, thirty outstanding third level college students participated in the Washington Ireland Programme. Further details and information on applications can be found on the Washington Ireland Programme website http://www.wiprogram.org.
The Wider Horizons Programme commenced in 1988. It involves student teachers from both religious communities in Ireland north and south. The four teacher training colleges involved are St. Patrick's College and Church of Ireland College in the south, and St. Mary's College and Stranmillis College in the north. The programme is a working model of a cross-community, cross-tradition, cross-border and cross-cultural venture, concerned with professional development, reconciliation and mutual understanding.
In 2007 for example, 13 Irish student teachers, (5 from the south and 8 from the north) spent 6 weeks teaching in Lowell, Massachusetts, USA, in school-based summer projects for young people in disadvantaged and multi-cultural urban areas.
371 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the annual costs incurred by his Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35556/08]
372 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the progress made by his Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35571/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 371 and 372 together.
Under the Government's decentralisation programme announced in 2003, 125 posts attached to the Development Cooperation Division of the Department of Foreign Affairs were to decentralise to Limerick. Following sanction of additional posts by the Department of Finance in 2005, the total number of posts from the Division transferring to Limerick increased to 138.
I expect that the decentralisation of Irish Aid will be completed next month, with staff at that stage moving to permanent premises. Already, there are 84 officials based in interim office premises in Limerick.
The Office of Public Works is responsible for the provision of office accommodation for Irish Aid in Limerick. The property related costs associated with the decentralisation programme are a charge on that Office.
The table underneath sets out the non-property costs incurred by this Department during the period 2004-2008. The increase experienced in 2007 relates to the costs associated with the establishment of interim offices in Limerick in May of that year.

374 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the amount that was spent in each of the past five years on staff who replaced those who took early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35657/08]
378 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the number of staff within his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reason for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35830/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 373, 374 and 378 together.
In 2006, one member of staff of my Department retired early under the terms of the Cost Neutral Early Retirement Scheme. No other officers have availed of early retirement within the last five years.
The Deputies will appreciate that, since we had only one individual availing of early retirement, to release any further information about that individual would be inappropriate, as it could clearly identify the officer concerned.
However, I would like to inform the Deputies that the grade at which the officer retired attracted the following salary:

The last two points on each of the scales listed above are long service increments, payable after three and six years' satisfactory service at the maximum of the scale.
375 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, blackberries and other hand-held devices in his Department; if he is satisfied that all personal information held within his Department is secure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35672/08]
All data held in my Department, including personal data, is protected by both physical and technical safeguards. My Department's policy is that all portable electronic data devices are encrypted. Full hard disk encryption has been implemented on all laptops issued by my Department in the past three years. The Department does not issue blackberry devices and the small number of hand held devices we do have are used purely for scheduling and official contacts purposes.
I am satisfied that all personal information held within my Department is secure. All officials are bound by the provisions of the Official Secrets Act. In addition, on the day of their appointment, all officials of my Department are made aware of their responsibilities under the Data Protection Acts. Each Division has a nominated Data Protection Coordinator and, earlier this year, my Department launched a dedicated Data Protection Intranet Page, to facilitate and encourage ongoing awareness of data protection responsibilities among all staff.
The provisions of the Data Protection Acts are kept under regular review by my Department, to ensure our ongoing compliance. The categories of personal data retained by my Department are reviewed annually, to ensure that our obligation to register these with the Data Protection Commissioner is discharged.
Over the past year, the Department has been placing a particular focus on increasing awareness among all staff of their obligations under the Data Protection Acts and is working with the Office of the DPC in this regard. The Data Protection Commissioner recently gave a briefing to the Department's Data Protection Divisional Coordinators and we will continue to liaise with his Office.
376 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the average level of absenteeism within his Department for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35800/08]
The average levels of absenteeism within my Department, for each of the five years from 2003 to 2007 inclusive, are set out below.
Each figure given is the total number of days lost to absence expressed as a percentage of the total available working days for staff in the Department.
2003: 1.98%
2004: 2.28%
2005: 2.57%
2006: 2.76%
2007: 3.58%
377 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the average level of staff absenteeism within each of the agencies within his Department’s remit for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35815/08]
379 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the number of staff within agencies within the remit of his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reasons for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35845/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 377 and 379 together.
There are currently no agencies operating under the aegis of my Department.
380 Deputy Charles Flanagan asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will contact appropriate Government officials in Botswana, requesting that the national police force of that country, investigate and inquire into the circumstance of the death of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35851/08]
At the outset, I would like again to express my deepest sympathy to the family concerned. My Department became aware of the case mentioned by the Deputy in December 2006 and considerable consular assistance was provided, including assistance in the repatriation of the remains of the deceased. The authorities in Botswana conducted enquiries into the death of the deceased, following which a post mortem was held. A verdict of suicide was returned, with the cause of death stated to be due to haemorrhage and shock. Throughout that period, our Honorary Consul in Botswana remained in contact with the local authorities. However, the findings of the Botswana authorities are not accepted by one member of the family of the deceased.
Officials from the Consular Division have met with the family of the deceased and are, of course, ready to provide all appropriate further consular assistance to them.
381 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the amount of money spent on capital investment by his Department for each year since 1997 in each of the 26 counties. [35386/08]
Details of the current and capital expenditure by my Department in each of the years since its establishment in 2002, broken down between the sectoral areas of arts/culture, sport and tourism and between key programmes and activities, are contained in the Annual Estimates Volumes for Public Services published by the Department of Finance and available in the Dáil Library.
The major capital investment programmes under the direct control of the Department are the Sports Capital Programme, the Local Authority Swimming Pools Programme and the Arts and Culture Capital Enhancement Support Scheme (ACCESS). Details of individual projects, including county location and amounts of capital grants approved, are set out in the relevant sections of the Department's website www.arts-sport-tourism.gov.ie.
Details of capital investment by the State Agencies operating under the aegis of the Department may be obtained directly from the Agencies themselves.
382 Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism if he will respond to correspondence from a group (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35412/08]
The Government's priorities for the Arts are set out in the Programme for Government and are elaborated further in my Department's Statement of Strategy and the Arts Plan 2008, which has been placed in the Oireachtas Library.
Responsibility for the promotion of the arts at all levels throughout the country is devolved primarily to the Arts Council. The Arts Council is the principal agency through which State funding is channelled to the arts. Under the Arts Act, 2003, the general functions of the Council include the following:
to stimulate public interest in the arts;
to promote knowledge, appreciation and practice of the arts;
to assist in improving standards in the arts.
As Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism I am committed to securing the best possible funding deal for the Arts Council and the arts sector generally throughout the country. The Chair of the Theatre Forum has been in touch with me and I will be responding shortly.
383 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism if he will provide funding for a recently opened sports complex (details supplied) in Dublin 20; when he will make a decision on such funding; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35498/08]
Letters have issued to each of this year's unsuccessful applicants under the Sports Capital Programme, including the one in question, setting out the reasons why they were not awarded a grant. As that letter pointed out, given the level of demand for funding and the amount of funding available under the Programme, it is not possible for my Department to allocate grants to every applicant. In this instance, the project did not meet two of the qualifying conditions of the Programme in that the proof of title provided and the evidence of own funding submitted were not sufficient. There are no funds available to the Department to meet the rising costs of sports facilities.
384 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the annual costs incurred by his Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35548/08]
385 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the progress made by his Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35563/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 384 and 385 together.
The Department of Arts Sport and Tourism was designated for relocation to Killarney, Co. Kerry, under the Government's Decentralisation Programme, which was announced in the 2004 Budget. The Department, which has a staff of 130, excluding the National Archives, was designated an "early mover" by the Decentralisation Implementation Group (DIG). To date, 76 staff have relocated to temporary accommodation in Fossa, Killarney. The objective is to complete the decentralisation process of the Department by early 2009 by which time it will be operating from the new purpose built offices in Killarney. The annual non-property costs incurred by this Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years are set out in the table.

The expenditure outlined includes the cost of office machinery, office and premises overheads, postal and telecommunications services and travel and subsistence. The OPW are responsible for the acquisition of and costs relating to temporary and the permanent accommodation and therefore these do not fall within this Department's Vote.
386 Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the status regarding the swimming pool in Stranorlar, County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35582/08]
Under the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme there are four principal stages in a swimming pool project which are: Feasibility Study/Preliminary Report; Contract Documents; Tender and Construction. Grant-aid is allocated only when tenders have been approved for the project and is capped at the time of allocation. My Department approved the Preliminary Report for the Ballybofey / Stranorlar Swimming Pool Project in May 2007, allowing Donegal County Council to move on to the next stage which is the preparation of Contract Documents. I understand from Donegal County Council that the Contract Documents will be submitted to my Department for approval in October 2008.
387 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism if Budget 2009 will affect the funding of the Lansdowne Road redevelopment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35631/08]
The Government grant of €191 million towards the new stadium project at Lansdowne Road is unaffected by the 2009 Budget.
388 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the amount that was granted in pensions in each of the past five years to individuals who retired early from his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35634/08]
389 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the amount that was spent in each of the past five years on staff who replaced those who took early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35649/08]
394 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the number of staff within his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reason for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35822/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 388, 389 and 394 together.
Since the introduction of the Cost Neutral Early Retirement scheme in 2005 one staff member in my Department has availed of such a package. The Officer in question was at Staff Officer level and was aged 50 at retirement. There was no cost in replacing this Officer as prior to her retirement she was on a career break from the Department. As civil service pensions are paid by the Office of the Paymaster General, I do not have information in relation to the amount granted.
390 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, blackberries and other hand-held devices in his Department; if he is satisfied that all personal information held within his Department is secure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35664/08]
I would refer the Deputy to my reply to parliamentary question No. 427 of 30 September 2008 and parliamentary question No. 1148 of 24 September 2008, both of which address this matter.
391 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the reason for the delays in the payment to clubs and organisations after they have been awarded funding under the sports capital grants scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35752/08]
Under the Sports Capital Programme, which is administered by my Department, funding is allocated to sporting and community organisations at local, regional and national level throughout the country. Since 1998 the Government has allocated over €725m in sports capital funding to over 7,400 sports projects across the country.
The Deputy will appreciate that the scale of these investments warrants my Department requiring grantees to comply with certain terms and conditions. These include, inter alia, requirements in relation to tendering to ensure value for money and legal requirements to protect the state's investments for larger allocations and ensure that facilities funded stay in sporting use. Staff in my Department liaise, on an ongoing basis, with grant recipients to assist in progressing payments as promptly as possible. If the Deputy has a particular case in mind my Department will be happy to investigate if he will forward the details to me.
392 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the average level of absenteeism within his Department for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35792/08]
The average sick absences in the Department, including the National Archives, over the last two years are as follows.
6.75 days
9.88 days
The calculations include a small number of long term sick absences that serve to inflate the figures somewhat. The data in respect of the previous three years is not readily available due to major restructuring of the Department in May 2005 which resulted in the establishment of the National Library and the National Museum as separate statutory organisations which retain the details of its staff members. It has not been possible to obtain the information requested within the time frame available.
393 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the average level of staff absenteeism within each of the agencies within his Department’s remit for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35807/08]
395 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the number of staff within agencies within the remit of his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reasons for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35837/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 393 and 395 together.
Staffing matters in the agencies under the remit of the Department are a day to day matter for the agencies themselves.
396 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the amount of money spent on capital investment by his Department for each year since 1997 in each of the 26 counties. [35388/08]
As the Deputy is aware, my Department was established in June 2002. Details of capital expenditure, as shown in the annual Revised Estimate Volumes (Provisional Outturns) from 2002 to 2007, based on the current structure of my Department's Vote, are set out in the table below along with the capital allocation for 2008.

The Deputy will also be aware that expenditure within these programme areas takes place across a wide range of schemes and projects countrywide, descriptions of which are available on my Department's website at www.pobail.ie. Funding is not necessarily given on a county-specific basis in all cases and it is not feasible to attribute the full capital allocation to particular counties. However, if the Deputy has any specific query relating to a particular scheme I would be glad to provide relevant information to him in that regard.
397 Deputy Eamon Scanlon asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the land required by persons applying for the rural social scheme; if it is necessary for them to be in receipt of single farm payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35422/08]
One of the eligibility criteria for farmers wishing to participate on the Rural Social Scheme (RSS) is that they are actively farming. In order to satisfy that condition farmers wishing to participate in the scheme must occupy and farm in their own right and at their own risk, a minimum of 1 Hectare of land within the State, which is used solely for the purposes of carrying out an agricultural activity. This is in line with guidelines issued by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
An RSS participant is not required to be in receipt of a Single Farm Payment. However, according to EU regulation (REG No. 183/2005) those involved in farming activities are required to make a declaration under the Single Farm Payment Scheme annually. A copy of the Single Payment Scheme Application together with official proof of postage is one of the documents acceptable in order to demonstrate that a farmer is actively farming for the purposes of the RSS.
398 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs when funds will be approved for counties Carlow and Kilkenny under the rural development strategy. [35529/08]
The process for selecting Local Action Groups to deliver the LEADER elements of the Rural Development Programme is now almost complete. I expect to announce the selection of the Groups to implement the Programme and the allocation of funding in the near future. I anticipate that the Programme will be open to applications to the Local Action Groups for funding in all areas of the country shortly thereafter.
399 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the annual costs incurred by his Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35550/08]
400 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the progress made by his Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35565/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 399 and 400 together.
The decentralisation programme is well advanced in my Department. From a total of 140 staff due to decentralise to Charlestown, Co Mayo, 100 have now relocated on an interim basis to Tubbercurry, Co Sligo, where two properties are being rented by my Department. In addition to this, the Office of Public Works is engaged in the process of selecting and purchasing an appropriate site for a new HQ building for my Department at Charlestown.
My Department's commitment under the decentralisation programme in relation to Na Forbacha, Co Galway, has been met in full, with 10 staff now relocated in my Department's regional offices there. From 2004 to end September 2008, my Department incurred expenditure of €1,224,023 in non-property costs in respect of the Tubbercurry offices, broken down as follows:
2004 — €6,702
2005 — €5,436
2006 — €719,189
2007 — €210,896
2008 — €281,800 (to end September)
The Deputy will appreciate that any property costs arising are a matter for the Office of Public Works.
401 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the amount that was granted in pensions in each of the past five years to individuals who retired early from his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35636/08]
402 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the amount that was spent in each of the past five years on staff who replaced those who took early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35651/08]
406 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the number of staff within his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reason for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35824/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 401, 402 and 406 together.

403 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, blackberries and other hand-held devices in his Department; if he is satisfied that all personal information held within his Department is secure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35666/08]
The issue of the security of portable electronic devices in use in my Department is under review. It is expected that encryption of laptop computers will be in place by the end of 2008, in addition to the existing security measures already in place.
To date no loss of private data from any Departmental equipment has been reported.
404 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the average level of absenteeism within his Department for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35794/08]

These figures are in respect of the staff at my Department, as well as staff seconded from my Department to the National Drugs Strategy Team, the National Advisory Committee on Drugs, An Coimisinéir Teanga and the Office of the Commissioners for Charitable Donations and Bequests.
It may be noted that although the calculations are based on staff that are currently on my Department's payroll, sick leave incurred by staff while working in other Departments (due to the general movement of staff, particularly under the Decentralisation Programme) may also be included.
405 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the average level of staff absenteeism within each of the agencies within his Department’s remit for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35809/08]
The Deputy will be aware that the management of staff absenteeism is the responsibility of the relevant agencies under the ambit of my Department. The average level of staff absenteeism over the past five years, as advised to me by each of the agencies under the remit of my Department, is outlined in the table below.
Details of staff seconded from my Department to An Coimisinéir Teanga and the Office of the Commissioner for Charitable Donations and Bequests Office are included in the answer to Question Reference No. 35794 of 22nd October 2008. For the sake of completeness, the details for these staff are also included in the table below.
Foras na Gaeilge is not in a position, in the time available, to provide details for each of the years requested by the Deputy and have provided an estimated figure in respect of 2007. I have asked them to provide the information requested and will supply this information to the Deputy when I receive it.
Finally, I am informed by Údarás na Gaeltachta that the details sought are not readily available. However, I have requested the information from Údarás and will supply this information to the Deputy when I receive it.

407 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the number of staff within agencies within the remit of his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reasons for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35839/08]
I have been advised by the agencies within the ambit of my Department that 1 member of staff has availed of an early retirement scheme in the past three years. The member of staff was a Higher Executive Officer, was 56 years old and availed of Actuarial Reduced Retirement.
408 Deputy Thomas Byrne asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will report on an appeal for mortgage supplement submitted by a person (details supplied) in County Meath; and the reason for refusal on this appeal. [35376/08]
The supplementary welfare allowance scheme, which includes mortgage interest supplement, is administered on behalf of the Department by the community welfare division of the Health Service Executive. Mortgage interest supplement provides short-term income support to eligible people who are unable to meet their mortgage interest repayments in respect of a house which is their sole place of residence.
The Health Service Executive has advised that the person concerned applied for mortgage interest supplement in February 2008. One of the statutory conditions for receipt of mortgage interest supplement is that, in the opinion of the Executive, the person must have been in a position, at the time the loan agreement was entered into, to meet the repayments under that agreement. The Executive has advised that the person concerned was refused mortgage interest supplement as, in its opinion, the loan agreement was entered into at a time when the person concerned was not in a position to make the repayments. It is also the opinion of the Executive that the loan was not obtained for the purpose of purchasing, repairing or improving the residence of the person concerned.
The Executive has further advised that the decision to refuse mortgage supplement was upheld by the HSE Appeals Office. The person concerned has been advised of her right to appeal to the Social Welfare Appeals Office.
409 Deputy Pat The Cope Gallagher asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the effect of the Budget 2009 statement on the earlier commitment to decentralise a section of her Department to Donegal Town; the number of posts involved; if in view of the rate of unemployment in Donegal she will allow the Donegal project to proceed immediately; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35613/08]
Under the current programme of decentralisation, 258 posts in the Department are to be relocated to Donegal Town.
As outlined in Budget 2009, the Government, following a review of the decentralisation programme, in light of the changed economic circumstances and the deterioration in public finances, agreed a revised schedule for the programme. In prioritising projects a number of factors were taken into consideration, including issues such as sites already purchased and commitments already made, costs involved and the expectations of staff assigned to decentralising posts.
The remaining elements of the programme have been deferred pending a review in 2011 in light of the budgetary developments. The position in respect of relocation to Donegal Town will be reviewed at that time.
410 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs her views on adjusting the eligibility criteria for the back to education allowance in order that clients of residential programmes run by a number of therapeutic centres (details supplied) who are in receipt of supplementary welfare allowance while taking part in residential therapeutic programmes and who wish to continue study after the end of the residential courses would be eligible to receive the back to education allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35683/08]
431 Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the position in relation to clients of a rehabilitation facility (details supplied) who are on a disability payment when they are in the care of the facility but are not going to receive the back to education allowance because they were receiving a disability payment rather than being on jobseekers allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35477/08]
I intend to take Questions Nos. 410 and 431 together.
The back to education allowance (BTEA) scheme is designed to help those who have not worked for some time to improve their employability and job-readiness by acquiring educational qualifications. It is a recognition of the special difficulties which such persons can face when attempting to gain a foothold in the labour market. The allowance is paid at a standard weekly rate equivalent to the maximum rate of the relevant social welfare payment that qualifies the applicant for participation in the scheme. It essentially replaces their existing social welfare income and in addition an annual €500 cost of education allowance is payable.
In general, an applicant must be at least 21 years of age and in receipt of a relevant Social Welfare payment for 6 months if pursuing a second level course or 12 months if pursuing a third level course. People in receipt of disability related payments, may access the scheme at 18 years of age provided they have been out of formal education for at least 2 years. Time spent in receipt of supplementary welfare allowance can count towards the qualifying period for back to education allowance in circumstances where the person establishes an entitlement to a relevant social welfare payment prior to commencing an approved course of study.
In addition, the qualifying period for access to the third level option has been reduced to 9 months for persons who are participating in the National Employment Action Plan (NEAP) process and where a FÁS Employment Services Officer recommends pursuance of a third level course of study as essential to the enhancement of the individual's employment prospects.
From September 2007 the qualifying period for illness benefit recipients was reduced from three to two years and people who are awarded statutory redundancy may access the scheme immediately, provided an entitlement to a relevant social welfare payment is established prior to commencing an approved course of study. The requirement to be in receipt of a relevant social welfare payment for a minimum period has always been a feature of the BTEA scheme and is considered necessary to ensure that limited resources are directed at those most in need.
The current scheme has been subject to review and modification over the years to ensure it continues to support those people who are most distant from the labour market and whose need is greatest. I will continue to monitor the scheme but I believe that, overall, the back to education allowance scheme continues to meet its objectives and ensures that limited resources are targeted at those who are most in need. If the Deputies wish to provide details of specific cases, I will ensure that they receive immediate attention from the relevant department officials.
411 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the way a scheme (details supplied) is operated; the number of schools on a county basis which currently benefit form it; the annual cost of the scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35769/08]
The School Meals Programme gives funding towards the provision of food services for disadvantaged school children through two schemes. The first is the long-standing statutory urban school meals scheme, operated by local authorities and part-financed by the Department of Social & Family Affairs. The second is the School Meals Local Projects scheme through which funding is provided directly by this Department to participating schools and local and voluntary community groups who are running their own school meals projects.
The School Meals Programme has expanded significantly in recent years. Expenditure on the urban and local projects school meals schemes increased from €13.6m in 2006 to €28.2m in 2007, and is expected to be in the region of €32m in 2008. In 2006, 1,389 schools and 125,000 pupils benefited from the programme and this increased to over 189,000 pupils from over 1,900 schools in 2007.
Funding under the School Meals Local Projects scheme is available for a variety of school meals projects, including breakfast clubs, snack clubs, lunch clubs, dinner clubs and homework clubs. The decision to operate a school meals projects, and responsibility for the actual operation of the project, rests entirely with the school or organisation concerned. Funding under the scheme is to assist participating schools/organisations with their food costs only.
Priority for funding under the School Meals Local Projects scheme is given to schools which are part of the Department of Education & Science's initiative for disadvantage schools, ‘Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools' (DEIS). The focus of the School Meals scheme will remain on disadvantaged children and the inclusion of additional DEIS schools in the scheme will continue to be the Department's main priority.
The following table gives a breakdown by county of the numbers of schools/preschools/local groups which have benefited under the School Meals Local Projects scheme. These figures include a variety of different types of school food projects, including schools who receive funding directly from the Department for either their full school population or for targeted pupils and also school food projects funded by the Department and operated by local and voluntary organisations for pupils from a number of local schools. Table: County breakdown of the number of schools which have benefited under the School Meals Local Projects Scheme to date.

Note: Approximately 330 schools benefit under the urban school meals scheme. A breakdown of this figure on a county basis is not available.
412 Deputy Olwyn Enright asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the position regarding the recently proposed reforms to assist lone parents; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36039/08]
The Government discussion paper, "Proposals for Supporting Lone Parents," put forward proposals to tackle obstacles to employment for lone parents and other low income families. These included proposals for the expanded availability and range of education and training opportunities for lone parents; the extension of the National Employment Action Plan to focus on lone parents; focused provision of childcare; improved information services for lone parents and the introduction of a new social assistance payment for low income families with young children.
Under the proposals the lone parenthood category of payment would no longer exist. Instead, a new payment would be made to all parents (living alone or with a partner), with young children, on low income. This new payment is currently being developed in the Department, taking into account the various issues raised in the consultation process.
Any proposed new payment scheme can only be introduced when the necessary co-ordinated supports and services are put in place on the ground by other relevant Departments and Agencies. This is why the Senior Officials Group on Social Inclusion has been tasked with bringing forward a plan on the key issues of childcare, education, training and activation measures.
The non-income recommendations contained in the discussion paper were examined in two areas: Coolock and Kilkenny. These studies, which took place between November 2007 and February 2008, were carried out to facilitate the development of the policy and operational details of the new scheme. The process involved both lone parents and qualified adults. It was carried out on a voluntary basis and the take-up was low.
The experience has however highlighted how both lone parents and qualified adults are not a homogenous group, are of different ages, have experienced different routes into their current situation and have different needs. Educational levels of those who participated were generally low, there was little or no engagement with FÁS, some participants intended to return to full or part-time work when their child was a few months old; others, however, had been out of the work force for a considerable period of time. Earnings from previous employment were generally low. For almost all of those intending to return to work affordable childcare was a critical issue.
The experience of this engagement process is feeding into the development of our approach to working with lone parents and qualified adults to support them into education, training and employment.
413 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if and when disability allowance will be awarded in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34510/08]
The claim of the person concerned for disability allowance was disallowed by a Deciding Officer of the Department on 4 February 2008 following an examination by a Medical Assessor who expressed the opinion that he was medically unsuitable for the allowance. He appealed this decision on 19 February 2008 and, in the context of this appeal, he was examined by a second Medical Assessor on 18 August 2008 who also expressed the opinion he was unsuitable.
I am informed by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that, in the light of this second medical opinion, that Office, on 20 August 2008, decided to afford him an opportunity of setting out the complete and up to date grounds of his appeal and to furnish any further medical evidence he wished to submit in support of his appeal. No reply was received and a reminder issued to him on 9 October 2008. No reply has been received to date.
The Social Welfare Appeals Office is an office of the Department that is independently responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
414 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she has made approaches to countries with which Ireland has a bilateral agreement with a view to speeding up the process of applications; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35020/08]
The Department currently has bilateral social security agreements with 7 countries:- Austria, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United States, Quebec and Switzerland. Liaison procedures to ensure the secure transfer of personal data have been established with each country, and are kept under constant review. Regular contact is maintained by the Department with each agency to ensure the timely and, accurate provision of the required information.
The processing time for claims that fall to be examined under bilateral agreements can be longer than that for standard Irish entitlements, reflecting the added complexity that arises in determining entitlements under these agreements, and the necessity to obtain the relevant insurance details from overseas social security institutions.
Delays in processing applications can occur where a person has had a varied employment history in a number of countries over their working life. Where any such delay occurs there is no loss to the pensioners as payments are made from the due entitlement date. Overall, I am satisfied that the current arrangements and procedures are working effectively and efficiently.
416 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will introduce a full disability occupational injury payment or equivalent for those affected by pneumoconiosis, if they are deemed to be only partially affected by the illness; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35022/08]
Pneumoconiosis is a prescribed disease for the purpose of the Occupational Injuries scheme administered by the Department. The legislation governing the Occupational Injuries Scheme provides entitlement to benefit for persons suffering from certain prescribed diseases which are listed in the legislation and where that person has contracted that disease in the course of their employment.
Where a person has contracted one of the diseases listed in the legislation, benefits are payable if they were employed in an occupation which is specifically prescribed in relation to that disease or if they can show, to the satisfaction of the Chief Medical Advisor in the Department, that the disease was contracted through an employment not specifically prescribed in relation to that disease.
Employment under a contract of service is insurable for Occupational Injuries Benefit under the Social Welfare Acts. An insured person who contracts pneumoconiosis may qualify for disablement benefit under that scheme, in addition to illness benefit under the general social insurance scheme, subject to meeting the qualifying conditions. Medical assessments are undertaken in all such cases to determine the degree of disablement, which is calculated by comparison of the state of health of the applicant with a person of the same age and gender.
Persons claiming Occupational Injuries Benefit in cases of Pneumoconiosis are referred to Consultant Respiratory Physicians in the first instance for an examination and report. This examination consists of a clinical assessment and pulmonary function testing (PFT). Disablement benefit is awarded on the basis of the consultant's report, including the pulmonary function test result. The degree of disablement is expressed as a percentage of loss of faculty and the compensation payable varies accordingly. Loss of faculty may be determined within a range of less than 1% to 100%, depending on the severity of the condition. Currently, there are 23 people in receipt of disablement benefit as a result of contracting pneumoconiosis arising from their occupation, of which 19 are former coal miners and 4 were in employments prescribed in relation to asbestos. The percentage of disablement assessed in these cases ranges from 8% to 90%. A person must be assessed as having a minimum of 20% loss of faculty before they may be considered as being incapable of work due to their disablement. These arrangements apply generally and there are no plans for special arrangements in the case of pneumoconiosis.
Where a person qualifies for disablement benefit, the rate of benefit increases on an annual basis in line with the normal social welfare budget increases. In addition, where a person feels that his/her condition has deteriorated since the assessment was made under the scheme, it is open to that person to apply for a review of the disablement percentage calculated.
419 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will increase the means test threshold for qualification for means tested payments with a view to alleviating hardship in the present economic situation; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35025/08]
Social welfare has been prioritised in this Budget. Next year, total funding for the Department of Social and Family Affairs will be €19.6 billion. This represents an increase of €2.6 billion or 15.5% over the Estimates allocation for 2008.
Over 1.7 million people and their dependants will benefit from this expenditure — including 440,000 pensioners, 345,000 ill and disabled people, over 80,000 carers, 30,000 low income working families availing of the Family Income Supplement and over 580,000 families that receive child benefit payments.
Even in these difficult economic times, the Government has prioritised delivering real increases in social welfare payments. The Budget provides for increases of between 3 and 3.8% in the basic payment rates next year or ahead of projected inflation of 2.5% for next year. These increases are also in line with the wage rises agreed by the social partners in the 2nd phase of the National Pay Agreement.
In addition, the fuel allowance increases by an extra €2 per week with payment also being made for an additional 2 weeks. In relation to means testing arrangements, improvements are being made to the Family Income Supplement which is paid to low income working families. The income limits for the FIS are being increased by €10 per week in respect of each child giving an average extra payment of €6 per child per week.
Furthermore, the income thresholds for entitlement to Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance are also being increased to enable 18,000 more families to benefit from the scheme.
420 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the position in regard to qualification for retirement or old age pension for those who gave up work to care for a person with special needs with particular reference to the allocation of credit contributions for the period of care; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35026/08]
In order to qualify for the maximum rate of the state pension (contributory) a person must, amongst other qualifying conditions, achieve a yearly average of at least 48 contributions paid or credited on his/her social insurance record over their working life. Reduced pensions are paid to those with yearly averages as low as 10 contributions.
The contributory pension entitlements of those who leave employment to care for children or incapacitated people can be protected in a number of ways. People who qualify for payments such as carer's allowance or carer's benefit may, subject to conditions, qualify for credited contributions.
If a person does not qualify for credits through the carer's allowance or benefit schemes they may be able to avail of the homemaker's scheme. This was introduced from 1994 and allows up to 20 years spent caring for children or incapacitated adults to be disregarded when a person's social insurance record is being averaged for pension purposes. Any person, including a carer, may pay voluntary contributions once they satisfy certain qualifying conditions. A person may choose to pay voluntary contributions, provided they are no longer covered by a PRSI scheme on a compulsory basis in this country or on a compulsory or voluntary basis in any other E.U. country. Voluntary contributions provide cover for long-term benefits, such as pensions.
To become a voluntary contributor a person must have paid at least 260 PRSI contributions in either employment or self-employment and apply within 12 months of the end of the contribution year during which they last paid compulsory insurance or were last awarded a credited contribution. The person must agree to pay voluntary contributions from the start of the contribution week that follows the week in which they left compulsory insurance.
From June 2006, the number of hours a person can engage in employment, self employment, education or training outside the home and still be eligible for carer's allowance, carer's benefit and the respite care grant was increased from 10 to 15 hours per week. Where a carer remains in employment he or she will continue to pay the appropriate social insurance contribution.
Overall, I am satisfied that adequate arrangements are in place to protect the pension entitlements of people who leave employment to provide full-time care. There are, of course, people caring who cannot benefit from these measures. The position of these, and others who are at present not receiving support through the social welfare pension system, is discussed in the Green Paper on Pensions and decisions in relation to them will be made in the context of the framework for future pensions policy which I expect to finalise by the end of the year.
421 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will upgrade the family income supplement payments in line with the current economic situation; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35027/08]
Last week's budget provided for improvements to the family income supplement scheme (FIS) which is paid to low income working families. The income limits for FIS are being increased from January 2009 by €10 a week in respect of each child, giving increases ranging from €6 to €48 a week, depending on the family size. It is expected that an additional 2,000 families will benefit from FIS in 2009 bringing the total number to 29,000
The cost of this measure is estimated to be €10.4m. in a full year.
422 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will ease the qualification criteria for the back to education allowance in view of the current factors; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35028/08]
The Back to Education Allowance (BTEA) Scheme is designed to help those who have not worked for some time to improve their employability and job-readiness by acquiring educational qualifications. It is a recognition of the special difficulties which such persons can face when attempting to gain a foothold in the labour market.
The requirement to be in receipt of a relevant social welfare payment for a minimum period has always been a feature of the BTEA scheme and is considered necessary to ensure that limited resources are directed at those most in need. The allowance is paid at a standard weekly rate equivalent to the maximum rate of the relevant social welfare payment that qualifies the applicant for participation in the scheme. It essentially replaces their existing social welfare income and in addition an annual €500 cost of education allowance is payable.
To qualify for participation an applicant must be in receipt of a relevant social welfare payment and be at least 21 years of age prior to commencing an approved course of study. However, lone parents and persons in receipt of unemployment payments can qualify at 18 years of age provided they are out of formal education for at least 2 years.
In general, an applicant must be in receipt of a relevant Social Welfare payment for 6 months if pursuing a second level course or 12 months if pursuing a third level course. However, since 2007, people who are awarded statutory redundancy may access the Back to Education Allowance scheme immediately, provided an entitlement to a relevant social welfare payment is established prior to commencing an approved course of study. In addition, the qualifying period for access to the third level option has been reduced to 9 months for persons who are participating in the National Employment Action Plan (NEAP) process and where a FÁS Employment Services Officer recommends pursuance of a third level course of study as essential to the enhancement of the individual's employment prospects.
The current scheme has been subject to review and modification over the years to ensure it continues to support those people who are most distant from the labour market and whose need is greatest. I will continue to monitor the scheme but I believe that, overall, the back to education allowance scheme continues to meet its objectives and ensures that limited resources are targeted at those who are most in need. The number of participants on the BTEA scheme has increased in recent years, supported by a growth in expenditure on the scheme from €38 million in 2003 to a provision of €70 million this year.
423 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will review rent and mortgage support to cater for the needs of those expected to be affected by the economic situation; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35029/08]
The supplementary welfare allowance scheme provides for a weekly or monthly supplement to be paid in respect of rent or mortgage interest to any person in the State whose means are insufficient to meet their needs.
The purpose of the rent supplement scheme is to provide short-term income support, to eligible people living in private rented accommodation whose means are insufficient to meet their accommodation costs and who do not have accommodation available to them from any other source.
In recent years, a significant number of people have come to rely on rent supplement for extended periods. There are currently over 68,000 people in receipt of rent supplement, an increase of 14% since the end of December 2007. Almost 32,000 are getting a supplement for 18 months or more. For this reason, the rent supplement scheme has to be viewed in the context of overall housing policy, particularly in the case of long-term recipients.
The Government introduced new rental assistance arrangements which came into effect in 2005 and included the rental accommodation scheme (RAS).
The RAS gives local authorities specific responsibility for meeting the longer term housing needs of people receiving rent supplement for 18 months or more, on a phased implementation basis. Since 2005, over 15,800 rent supplement recipients have been assessed for RAS and have had their housing needs met by their local authority. 8,300 of these are accommodated under RAS and 7,500 have transferred to other social housing options.
Significant improvements to the means test for rent supplement were implemented in 2007 specifically to facilitate people returning to full-time work who had been accepted as eligible for accommodation under RAS. These measures are positive steps in assisting tenants in achieving a long-term housing solution for their needs.
Mortgage interest supplement also provides short-term income support to eligible people who are unable to meet their mortgage interest repayments in respect of a house which is their sole place of residence. The supplement assists with the interest portion of the mortgage repayments only. There are currently 6,600 people in receipt of mortgage interest supplement, a 60% increase on the numbers receiving the supplement at the end of 2007.
Improvements to the rent and mortgage interest supplement means test were implemented in June 2007 providing for a gradual withdrawal of the supplement as hours of employment or earnings increase. Where a person has additional income in excess of the standard weekly rate of supplementary welfare allowance, the first €75 of such additional income together with 25% of any additional income above €75 is disregarded for means assessment purposes. This ensures that those returning to part-time work or participating in training schemes are better off as a result of taking up such an opportunity.
Rent and mortgage interest supplement is calculated to ensure that an eligible person, after the payment of rent or mortgage interest, has an income equal to the rate of supplementary welfare allowance appropriate to his or her family circumstances, less a minimum weekly contribution which each recipient is required to pay from his or her own resources. When last set in 2004, the minimum contribution represented approximately 10% of the minimum social welfare weekly payment rate. While social welfare payments have risen by nearly €70 per week since then, no upward adjustment has been made to the minimum contribution.
As part of Budget 2009, I announced my intention to increase the minimum contribution from €13 to €18 with effect from 1 January 2009 which will represent 8.8% of the basic social welfare weekly payment. It will also significantly reduce the differential between the contribution which rent supplement tenants pay and the contribution payable under the local authority differential rent scheme. Some 68,763 people are currently receiving rent supplement and 6,729 are receiving mortgage interest supplement, increases of 15% and 64% respectively, on the number receiving these supplements at the end of 2007. Almost 47,000 new rent supplements and over 5,000 new mortgage interest supplements have been awarded since the start of the year. This indicates that the schemes are effective in meeting the needs of those who require assistance with their accommodation costs.
I am satisfied that the current rent and mortgage interest supplement schemes provide an adequate short-term "safety net" within the overall social welfare system. Nonetheless I intend to keep the schemes under review to ensure that they meet the objective of catering for those who require assistance on a short-term basis while long-term housing needs are dealt with in a more appropriate manner. The Department will also continue working closely with the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government in ensuring that RAS meets its objective of catering for those on long term rent supplementation while enabling rent supplement to return to its original role of a short-term income support.
424 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the way the means were derived in the case of application for social welfare payment in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 24; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35030/08]
Since April 2000, the needs of asylum seekers are catered for under the direct provision system operated by the Reception and Integration Agency of the Department of Justice Equality and Law Reform. People in direct provision are not regarded as being habitually resident in the state and are not entitled to any social welfare payment which is subject to the habitual residence condition.
Under the direct provision system, asylum seekers are provided with full board, accommodation and other facilities such as laundry services and access to leisure areas. To take account of the services provided in direct provision, a weekly allowance of €19.10 per adult and €9.60 per child is payable in respect of any personal requisites. If a person opts to leave direct provision accommodation, s/he is still only entitled to the direct provision allowance of €19.10 per adult and €9.60 per child.
The Dublin/Mid-Leinster Area of the HSE has advised that the person concerned is an asylum seeker in receipt of a direct provision allowance granted to her and her child dependants. She previously resided at accommodation provided through the Reception and Integration Agency of the Department of Justice Equality and Law Reform but voluntarily left this accommodation in December 2003.
Following an examination of her entitlement, it appears that she has been paid an amount in excess of the direct provision allowance. Her entitlement is currently under review and the Executive will notify the person concerned of the outcome of the review.
425 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the amount of money spent on capital investment by her Department for each year since 1997 in each of the 26 counties. [35396/08]

426 Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will review the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny in relation to their appeal against the decision taken to disallow them the back the school allowance; and if she will expedite a decision in this case. [35421/08]
The back to school clothing and footwear allowance (BSCFA) scheme is administered on behalf of the Department by the community welfare division of the Health Service Executive (HSE). Applications for the allowance may be made between the beginning of June and the end of September each year.
The south-eastern area of the HSE has advised that it has no record of a claim for a BSCFA claim from the person concerned
427 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs when a non-contributory pension appeal by a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will be finalised. [35429/08]
The state pension (non contributory) of the person concerned was revoked by a Deciding Officer of the Department on the grounds that his means exceeded the statutory limit and he was notified of this decision on 2nd July 2008.
An appeal was opened on 14 August 2008 and I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that, in accordance with the statutory requirements, the Department was asked for the documentation in the case and the Deciding Officer's comments on the grounds of the appeal. These are now to hand and have been referred to an Appeals Officer for consideration.
The Social Welfare Appeals Office is an office of the Department that is independently responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
428 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs when a jobseeker’s allowance appeal by a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will be finalised. [35430/08]
Based on his means, the person concerned was awarded jobseekers allowance at a reduced rate by a Deciding Officer of the Department on 12 June 2008.
An appeal was opened on 22 August 2008 and I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that, in accordance with the statutory requirements, the Department was asked for the documentation in the case and the Deciding Officer's comments on the grounds of the appeal. These are now to hand and have been referred to an Appeals Officer for consideration.
The Social Welfare Appeals Office is an office of the Department that is independently responsible for determining appeals against decisions on social welfare entitlements.
429 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the position of a claim for jobseeker’s allowance by a person (details supplied) in County Mayo. [35431/08]
The person concerned found work on 17 September 2008. Prior to this he had been in receipt of jobseeker's benefit at a reduced weekly rate.
During the course of his benefit claim he was invited to apply for jobseeker's allowance. This claim is currently with a Social Welfare Inspector for examination of his means. Despite being requested he has not yet provided full details of his self-employment income, P45 from his last employment or C2 certificate to the Inspector. When enquiries are completed his claim will be forwarded to the Social Welfare Local Office for decision and he will be notified of the outcome.
Under Social Welfare legislation decisions in relation to claims must be made by Deciding Officers and Appeals Officers. These officers are statutorily appointed and I have no role in regard to making such decisions.
430 Deputy Jim O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the reason for the delay in payment of the one parent family payment allowance to a person (detail supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make arrangements for immediate payment. [35476/08]
The person concerned applied for one parent family payment on 6 March 2008. Following investigation her claim was disallowed by a Deciding Officer as she failed to furnish particulars of her means as requested by the Social Welfare Inspector. She completed a fresh application dated 15 July 2008 and her papers were returned to the Social Welfare Inspector on 17 July 2008 for investigation. She was asked to provide further documentation which she did on 3 October 2008. She has been awarded payment at the rate of €209.80 per week from 17 March 2008. From 19 June 2008 her rate is €267.80 which includes payment for her three children and her fuel allowance. Her first payment will be in her bank account on Thursday 24 October 2008. All arrears due will issue shortly.
432 Deputy Enda Kenny asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will examine the case of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo for back to education allowance in view of the circumstances that apply; if she will show flexibility in this case; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35481/08]
The person concerned does not appear to have submitted an application for participation in the back to education allowance (BTEA) scheme. However, the records in the Department show that this person was only in receipt of jobseeker's allowance from 14 July 2008 to 14 October 2008 and would therefore not appear to meet the requirement to be in receipt of a social welfare payment for a minimum period of time immediately prior to commencing a course of study.
In general, an applicant must be in receipt of a relevant Social Welfare payment for 6 months if pursuing a second level course or 12 months if pursuing a third level course.
However, since 2007, people who are awarded statutory redundancy may access the Back to Education Allowance scheme immediately, provided an entitlement to a relevant social welfare payment is established prior to commencing an approved course of study.
In addition, the qualifying period for access to the third level option has been reduced to 9 months for persons who are participating in the National Employment Action Plan (NEAP) process and where a FÁS Employment Services Officer recommends pursuance of a third level course of study as essential to the enhancement of the individual's employment prospects.
The current scheme has been subject to review and modification over the years to ensure it continues to support those people who are most distant from the labour market and whose need is greatest.
433 Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will respond to a query (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35488/08]
There has been a significant increase in the number of people claiming jobseeker payments since the beginning of the year. The level of inflows to the Live Register over the period January to September 2008 inclusive was 311,660 as compared with 220,652 over the corresponding period last year representing an increase of over 41%. The average monthly inflows over the first nine months was 34,629 as compared with 24,517 over the corresponding period in 2007 and the average weekly inflow was 7,991 as compared with 5,658 in 2007.
The average processing time for applications for jobseeker's claims processed in September was 3 weeks for jobseeker's benefit and 6 weeks for jobseeker's allowance. Processing times vary between offices. The overall performance in any individual office in processing claims can be adversely affected by a wide variety of factors; including increased inflow of claims, staff vacancies and the duration of such vacancies and the turnover of staff in the office.
The Department has taken a number of measures to deal with the increased workload arising since the beginning of the year. These measures include the allocation of additional posts to local offices, extending the contracts of some temporary staff and additional resources for overtime. At a local level work is prioritised to deal with claim processing. These measures are kept under review.
Most Local Offices of the Department are open to the public from 9.30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and they deal with the clients who attend the office on any given day. Waiting time will depend on the number of people calling to an office. Every effort is made to deal with callers as quickly as possible. However, with the increase in the number of people claiming a jobseeker's payment, it is inevitable that waiting times will be affected.
434 Deputy Arthur Morgan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if a school (details supplied) in County Donegal has made an application for the school meals programme; and if their application was successful. [35534/08]
The school meals programme gives funding towards provision of food services for disadvantaged school children through two schemes. The first is the long-standing statutory urban school meals scheme, which is operated by local authorities and part-financed by the Department. The second is the school meals local projects scheme through which funding is provided by the Department to participating schools and voluntary community groups in both urban and rural areas, who are running specific school meals projects.
There is no record of an application having been received from the school concerned for funding under the school meals local projects scheme. Priority for funding under the scheme is, in the first instance, confined to schools in the Department of Education & Science's initiative for disadvantaged schools, ‘Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools' (DEIS). The school mentioned in the Deputy's question is not a DEIS school.
435 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the annual costs incurred by her Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35559/08]
Since the commencement of the decentralisation programme in the Department, expenditure returns have been submitted to the Department of Finance detailing non-property costs associated with the programme for both this Department and the agencies under its aegis. The Department has not incurred any property costs as these are a matter for the Office of Public Works. The following tabular statement summarises the expenditure returns in respect of non-property costs for the period up to the end of September 2008.

#Expenditure by Comhairle.
436 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the progress made by her Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35574/08]
Under the Government's current decentralisation programme for the civil and public service, some 1,200 posts comprising the Department's headquarter sections and the Social Welfare Appeals Office are relocating to 6 locations — Sligo, Carrick-on-Shannon, Donegal Town, Buncrana, Carrickmacross and Drogheda.
To date, 211 posts have relocated from the Department's Dublin Offices to Sligo and Carrick-on-Shannon — 72 posts to Sligo and 139 posts to Carrick-on-Shannon. An extension to the Department's existing Office in Sligo, for the decentralisation programme to that location, was completed in 2006. The Office of Public Works (OPW) has leased a building in Carrick-on-Shannon for this Department's decentralisation programme and staff assignments commenced mid-2007.
The Government outlined in Budget 2009 that the decentralisation programme to Buncrana and Drogheda would proceed as planned. A site in Buncrana has been purchased, the building is under construction and the expected completion date of the project is late 2009. The OPW has purchased sites in Drogheda to accommodate the Department's Headquarters and the Social Welfare Appeals Office.
The Department already have decentralised offices in Longford, Sligo, Letterkenny, Waterford, Dundalk and Roscommon and some 219 employees have transferred to these offices and other offices of the Department to fill vacancies created by the current decentralisation programme. Furthermore, a total of 258 employees of the Department have transferred to other Government Departments for the purposes of their decentralisation programmes.
As outlined in Budget 2009, the Government has reviewed the Decentralisation Programme in light of the changed economic circumstances and the deterioration in public finances. The remaining elements of the programme for this Department have been deferred pending a review in 2011 in light of the budgetary developments.
437 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the number of the successful claimants of jobseeker’s benefit and health and safety benefit in each of the years 2006, 2007 and 2008 who would have been successful under the revised qualifying criteria introduced by budget 2009; the number who would have been refused under these new criteria; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35632/08]
Entitlement to jobseeker's benefit is determined by the particular circumstances and situation that the claimant and his or her dependants are in at the time of the claim. As these circumstances can change during the course of any year, it is not possible therefore, to provide the information requested in the question.
In the light of the significant pressure on the public finances, and the Social Insurance Fund in particular, it has been necessary to make savings in some areas. However, these expenditure control measures have been kept to an absolute minimum. A number of these measures relate to jobseeker's benefit, including –
An increase in the underlying number of paid contributions for entitlement from 52 to 104;
The introduction of a condition whereby 13 paid contributions are required in the relevant tax year; and
A reduction in the maximum duration of benefit from 15 months to 12 months for those who have paid contributions for at least 5 full years and a similar reduction from 12 months to 9 months for those who have paid contributions for less than 5 full years.
However, a person affected by any of these measures will be able to claim jobseeker's allowance instead if they have limited means.
A further measure that is being introduced is an increase in the current weekly earnings threshold for the payment of reduced rates of benefit from €150 to €300. This measure addresses an anomaly that currently exists where some people who were previously working part-time can receive a higher rate of jobseeker's benefit than what they were earning while at work.
Some of these expenditure control measures also apply to health and safety benefit. However, given the alternative less stringent methods that are currently available for qualifying for this benefit, the above measures will generally have minimal effect in relation to health and safety benefit.
The table sets out the estimated numbers of people that will be affected by each measure during 2009 and in a full year, together with the associated savings.

438 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the amount that was granted in pensions in each of the past five years to individuals who retired early from her Department; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35645/08]
439 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the amount that was spent in each of the past five years on staff who replaced those who took early retirement; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35660/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 438 and 439 together.
Officers who retire from the Department before the minimum retirement age of 60 can only do so either on grounds of ill health, which is subject to the approval of the Chief Medical Officer, or under the terms of the Cost Neutral Early Retirement Scheme, which was introduced in 2004. This scheme allows officers to retire between the ages of 50 and 60 with actuarially reduced pension awards. The details sought by the Deputy are set out in the table.

440 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, blackberries and other hand-held devices in her Department; if she is satisfied that all personal information held within her Department is secure; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35675/08]
The Department's policy is that sensitive data should not be stored on laptops or other portable devices. However, in the event that there is no alternative to local storage, all sensitive data must be appropriately secured. All new laptops are issued with encryption software. The Department is currently arranging a recall of its current stock of laptops to install encryption software.
The Department is also engaged in implementing a policy to restrict usage of USB memory devices. Members of staff who need such devices will be issued with encrypted devices and future usage will be restricted to these.
Every effort is made by the Department to ensure that personal customer data is used solely for business purposes and that it is not compromised in any way. Over the past number of years, the Department has continuously strengthened security and data protection protocols. Policies and procedures governing the use of systems and data have been developed and communicated to the staff. These policies and procedures are under constant review and are updated as appropriate. Staff are regularly reminded of their obligations under data protection and security policies and of the penalties applicable in respect of any breach of these policies.
In addition to the policy measures, the Department is also ensuring that higher levels of data protection are built into its latest generation of ICT systems to reflect the increased threats in this area. Considerable resources have also been devoted to increasing the security and monitoring facilities in its older systems.
443 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the number of people who are in receipt of a pre-1953 old age contributory pension; if the payments for this pension are less than the non-contributory old age pension; the reason for same; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35733/08]
The special half-rate Pre-1953 State Pension (Contributory) was introduced with effect from 5th May 2000. To qualify for this pension, a person must have at least 260 full-rate contributions paid. The 260 can be made up solely of pre-1953 contributions, or a mixture of pre and post-1953 contributions. At the end of September 2008, the numbers of people receiving this pension was 26,130.
The personal rate of pension payable for Pre-1953 pension is half the maximum standard rate of State Pension (Contributory) which is less than the maximum rate of State Pension (Non-Contributory). The rate of State Pension (Non-Contributory) is subject to a mean test so the rate payable in any case is dependent on the personal circumstance of each individual. Any increases awarded for a qualified adult or dependent child(ren) are also payable at half the standard rate.
444 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will be approved and awarded jobseeker’s allowance. [35735/08]
The person concerned applied for jobseeker's allowance on 10 October 2008. His claim is currently being examined, a decision will be made as soon as possible and he will be notified of the outcome.
Under Social Welfare legislation decisions in relation to claims must be made by Deciding Officers and Appeals Officers. These officers are statutorily appointed and I have no role in regard to making such decisions.
445 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the number of people benefiting from the back to work allowance over the past three years and the breakdown for each county in tabular form; if there is a significant restriction on those now benefiting from this allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35755/08]
446 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the number of people benefiting from the back to education allowance over the past three years and the breakdown for each county in tabular from; if there is a significant restriction on those now benefiting from this allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35756/08]
I propose to take Question Nos. 445 and 446 together.
Details of the number of people benefiting from the back to work allowance and the back to education allowance over the past 3 years are set out as follows in tabular format. The tables also show the breakdown for each scheme on a county basis.
The back to education scheme is a second chance education opportunity designed to remove the barriers to participation in second and third level education. It encourages and facilitates people on certain social welfare payments to improve their skills and qualifications and, therefore, their prospects of returning to the active work force. The objective of the scheme is to enhance the employability skills of vulnerable groups who are distant from the labour market.
The back to work allowance scheme is designed to assist and encourage the long term unemployed, lone parents, people with disabilities and other social welfare recipients to return to the active labour force. These allowances provide a monetary incentive for people who are long term dependant on social welfare payments to make the return to work financially attractive and viable.
There were no new conditions introduced to these schemes in Budget 2008. Both of these schemes show increases in the total numbers participating over the past three years. The numbers availing of the back to work allowance increased by 2%, while the numbers availing of the back to education allowance increased by 22%. The numbers on the back to education allowance are at their highest level ever and are expected to increase again this year.

447 Deputy Seamus Kirk asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if child benefit is paid by her Department in respect of children living outside the jurisdiction; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35765/08]
Child Benefit is payable to children who are ordinarily resident in the state or who reside with a qualified person outside the state, while that person is a member of the defence forces, a civil servant posted abroad, a volunteer development worker or who remain insurable under Irish Social insurance while working abroad.
EU Migrant workers may have an entitlement to Child Benefit and other "Family benefits" under EU Regulation 1408/71. Where a national of an EU state is working in Ireland, she/he is entitled to payment of these benefits, even if his/her children are resident in the worker's home country.
The social security rights of people living and working in the EU are governed by EU Regulations 1408/71 and 574/72. The Regulations co-ordinate social security systems and are designed to ensure that people are not disadvantaged by moving within the EU to take up work. This is achieved primarily by setting out rules as to which State's social security a person will pay insurance when, for example, s/he moves from one Member State to another to take up work or where s/he lives in one State and works in another. In addition, the Regulations also set out rules as to which State will pay benefit in the event of the usual contingencies arising, sickness, unemployment old-age etc.
The general rule is that a person is insured in the State in which s/he works. Equally, the state of employment has, in general, responsibility for paying benefits when, for example, a person becomes unemployed or ill. The Regulations also provide that, when entitlement to benefit is being examined, account must be taken of insurance paid in any other Member State where the person worked.
For the purposes of the EU Regulation, Irish Child Benefit and Early Childcare Supplement are classified as Family Benefits and there are specific rules governing the payment of these benefits.
Because entitlement to family benefits can often arise in more than one Member State (based on residence and/or employment) the Regulations set out a number of rules in order to determine which country pays family benefits. The main ones are:
Residence requirements in national legislation (such as the habitual residence condition in Ireland) are overridden.
The level of payment of family benefits in the State of employment has priority over the level of payment in the State of residence. If there is employment in two States, the level of payment in the State of residence of the children has priority.
If the level of payment of family benefits in the State of residence is higher than that in the State of employment, the State of residence is required to pay a supplement equal to the difference between the two amounts.
448 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the average level of absenteeism within her Department for each of the past five years; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35803/08]
The average level of absenteeism in my department for the years 2003 to 2007 is set out in the following table:

449 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the average level of staff absenteeism within each of the agencies within her Department’s remit for each of the past five years; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35818/08]
The information requested is currently being compiled within the Department and will be made available to the Deputy as soon as possible.
450 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the number of staff within her Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reason for granting early retirement; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35833/08]
Officers who retire from the Department of Social & Family Affairs before the minimum retirement age of 60 can only do so either on grounds of ill health, which is subject to the approval of the Chief Medical Officer, or under the terms of the Cost Neutral Early Retirement Scheme, which was introduced in 2004. This scheme allows officers to retire voluntarily between the ages of 50 and 60 with actuarially reduced pension awards.

451 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the number of staff within agencies within the remit of her Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reasons for granting early retirement; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35848/08]
The five statutory bodies operating under the aegis of the Department are the Pensions Board, the Combat Poverty Agency, the Citizens Information Board, the Family Support Agency and the Social Welfare Tribunal. In addition the Pensions Ombudsman comes under the remit of the Department.
Two members of staff of the Citizens Information Board availed of early retirement in the past three years — a Grade 3 and a Higher Executive Officer, aged 61 and 64 respectively. Both retired on grounds of ill health.
For the purposes of this question early retirement is taken to include retirement on grounds of ill health and cost neutral early retirement but not voluntary retirement between the ages of 60 and 65 where the latter age is the compulsory retirement age.
452 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the reason self-employed people who have just lost their jobs must wait for up to 12 months for social welfare payments; if this position has changed in recent months; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35900/08]
Self employed people do not have to wait 12 months to get a jobseeker's allowance payment.
Jobseekers allowance is a means tested payment made to those who do not qualify for jobseekers benefit which is based on PRSI contributions. The means test involves an assessment of the person's savings and investments, any property s/he may own, apart from the family home and any other income such as a pension from a former employer or from another country.
Generally, self-employed persons are assessed with their income in the past 12 months to determine their expected income in the following year. With the general downturn in the construction industry at the moment it is accepted that less work is available in that sector and that earnings in the previous 12 months may not be representative of expected earnings in the coming year. The Social Welfare Inspector will take account of this fact in projecting future earnings.
453 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs when an appeal for carer’s allowance will be dealt with in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo. [35950/08]
The claim for Carer's Allowance by the person concerned was refused by a Deciding Officer of the Department on the 15th November 2007 on the grounds that the care recipient was not so invalided or disabled as to need full-time care and attention.
An appeal was opened on 14 March 2008 and I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that, in accordance with the statutory requirements, the Department was asked for the documentation in the case and the Deciding Officer's comments on the grounds of the appeal.
These have been received and her case has been referred to an Appeals Officer who proposes to hold an oral appeal hearing.
The Social Welfare Appeals Office is an office of the Department that is independently responsible for determining appeals against decisions on Social Welfare entitlements.
454 Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the processing time for unemployment benefit applications; the reason for these delays; the steps she is taking to address the delays; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36067/08]
The average processing time for applications for jobseeker's claims processed in September was 3 weeks for jobseekers benefit and 6 weeks for jobseekers allowance.
There has been a significant increase in the number of people claiming since the beginning of the year. The level of inflows to the Live Register over the period January to September 2008 inclusive was 311,660 as compared with 220,652 over the corresponding period last year representing an increase of over 41%.
The Department is committed to providing a quality customer service to all its customers. This includes ensuring that applications are processed and that decisions on entitlement are issued as expeditiously as possible having regard to the eligibility conditions which apply. These conditions vary between the two jobseeker schemes and involve, among other things, the need to establish the person's social insurance record, establish the person's identity or their place of habitual residence and to assess means where appropriate. In some cases delays arise where the person fails to supply all pertinent information in support of their application.
The overall performance in any individual office in processing claims can be adversely affected by a wide variety of factors; including increased inflow of claims, staff vacancies and the duration of such vacancies and the turnover of staff in the office.
The Department has taken a number of measures to deal with the increased workload arising since the beginning of the year. These measures include the allocation of additional posts to local offices, extending the contracts of some temporary staff and the allocation of additional resources for overtime. At a local level work is prioritised to deal with claim processing. These measures are kept under review.
455 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Defence the amount of money spent on capital investment by his Department for each year since 1997 in each of the 26 counties. [35389/08]
My Department is engaged in an on-going capital building programme designed to modernise and enhance the training, operational and accommodation facilities available to the Defence Forces both Permanent and Reserve. The programme focuses mainly on infrastructural projects comprising the construction of new buildings and the refurbishment of existing buildings. Given the extensive effort involved in compiling the information in the requested format and the time available, it has not been possible to give a detailed breakdown by county as far back as 1997. However my Department can provide this information from 2004 onwards.
The table below outlines the amount spent on capital projects over €500,000 in each county, each year from January 2004 to December 2007. Only counties that have had capital expenditure are listed.

456 Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Defence the number of reports that he has received from the Ombudsman for the Defence Forces to date; the action that he has taken on foot of these reports; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35471/08]
The Office of the Ombudsman for the Defence Forces was established under the Ombudsman (Defence Forces) Act 2004.
On the 19th September 2005, Ms. Paulyn Marrinan-Quinn SC was appointed by the President, upon the recommendation of the Government, as the first Ombudsman for the Defence Forces. Her term of office was extended for a further three years from 19th September 2008.
The function of the Ombudsman for the Defence Forces is to act as the ultimate point of appeal for, and administrative investigation into, complaints made by members (and former members) of the Defence Forces against another member (or former member) of the Defence Forces, or against a civil servant of the Department of Defence. The Ombudsman for the Defence Forces may investigate a complaint in respect of an action or decision, which may have adversely affected the complainant personally. The action or decision complained of must have occurred no earlier than the 1st December 2005.
To date, the office of the Ombudsman has sent me some seventy four Final Reports (74) reports. In addition, the Ombudsman has sent me fifteen (15) Preliminary Views on cases for which the Final Report has not yet issued. I have either responded to or am in the process of responding to the Ombudsman for the Defence Forces in respect of each of the Final reports. The Minister for Defence is obliged to inform the Ombudsman for the Defence Forces of the measures taken or proposed in response to her recommendation in each report.
The Ombudsman's recommendations in these reports cover issues specific to the case in question including proposals for redress where the Ombudsman has found that a person has been wronged. The reports may also include systemic matters that the Ombudsman has identified in her investigation of the case. In arriving at my determination on each case I take careful account of all of the Ombudsman's recommendations. I also take into account the specific and unique requirements of the Defence Forces organisation. I refer recommendations of a systemic nature to the appropriate Branches of my Department and of the Defence Forces for consideration in their ongoing development of best practice human resource management.
The input of the Ombudsman has already assisted the Defence Forces in the revision of a number of HR procedures, including the selection processes for career courses and overseas service. The recommendations in the Ombudsman's reports to me have also impacted on the revision of selection processes for promotion. A new version of the promotional selection system for enlisted personnel is currently being progressed with the Representative Associations through the Conciliation and Arbitration scheme.
457 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Defence if there are restrictions on the type of work former Defence Force members can engage in or if certain trades or professions are discouraged. [35537/08]
458 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Defence if he has information on the subsequent career choices of former Defence Force members. [35538/08]
459 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Defence his views on the fact that a company (details supplied) is actively recruiting former Irish Rangers. [35539/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 457 to 459, inclusive, together.
Defence Force Regulations govern any work activities of serving personnel in their off duty time. There are no specific provisions governing such activities of former members, who are in effect private citizens.
I am advised the Defence Forces does not retain data on any civilian employment that might be undertaken by personnel who leave the organization. Consequently I am not in a position to comment on the recruitment activities to which the Deputy refers.
In an overall context, I am confident that the skills accrued during their service by the overwhelming majority of former members of the Permanent Defence Force are used positively and productively.
460 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Defence the annual costs incurred by his Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35551/08]
461 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Defence the progress made by his Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35566/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 460 and 461 together.
The Deputy will be aware that the Government decision on decentralisation provides for the transfer of my Department's Dublin-based civil service staff, together with a number of military personnel, to Newbridge, Co. Kildare and for the decentralisation of the Defence Forces Headquarters (DFHQ) to the Curragh. The number of posts to be relocated to Newbridge is approximately 200 civil servants and 43 military personnel. A further 410 military personnel will decentralise to the Curragh.
Site acquisition, building construction and fit-out costs are borne on the Vote of the Office of Public Works. No non-property costs have been incurred by my Department to date. No property has been bought or rented by my Department outside Dublin under the scheme.
Close to 90% of clerical/administrative staff are now in place in preparation for the move to Newbridge. No members of staff have moved to date pending availability of the new accommodation at Station Road, Newbridge. Construction of the building commenced in June 2008 and OPW have advised that it is expected to be completed by December 2009.
The decentralisation of DFHQ to the Curragh is among those approved for continuation in Budget 2009. A State owned site for the new building has been identified in the Curragh. The timescale for completion of the project will be determined by the outcome of the proposed tender competition that is currently being prepared by OPW. It is expected that tenders will be invited before the end of the year.
462 Deputy Brian Hayes asked the Minister for Defence if he will explain the presence of certain flights (details supplied) over the west Dublin area; if these flights have originated or landed at Baldonnell; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35602/08]
Casement Aerodrome in Baldonnel is primarily used by military aircraft, but occasionally civil aircraft are permitted to use the Aerodrome for, inter alia, the purpose of pilot training, familiarisation visits and landings of charter aircraft for Irish troop rotations.
I am advised by military authorities that KC-135 aircraft have never used Casement Aerodrome. However, I understand that KC-135 aircraft are similar in appearance to other aircraft such as the DC-8 cargo aircraft, which has recently landed at Baldonnel to facilitate a logistic re-supply flight to Chad. It is possible that this aircraft was mistaken for a KC-135.
These re-supply flights would normally depart in the early morning to avoid potential Air Traffic Control congestion over Europe during the day and I have also been informed that the criss-cross patterns referred to are most likely caused by high altitude commercial aircraft that cross over Ireland early in the morning en-route from the US to European destinations. These ‘contrails' are not produced by low altitude aircraft.
463 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Defence the amount that was granted in pensions in each of the past five years to individuals who retired early from his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35637/08]
464 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Defence the amount that was spent in each of the past five years on staff who replaced those who took early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35652/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 463 and 464 together.
I have set out in the following table the amount that was granted in pensions to staff who retired early from my Department in each of the past five years.

The above pensions were paid to staff at the grades of Principal Officer, Assistant Principal Officer, Higher Executive Officer, Executive Officer, Staff Officer and Clerical Officer.
Posts of staff who retire which are required to be filled are done so by staff of an equivalent grade at the appropriate pay scale. It is not possible to compute the exact amounts paid where posts were filled as the posts themselves change in nature and will not always equate with the predecessor's post.
465 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Defence the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, blackberries and other hand-held devices in his Department; if he has satisfied himself that all personal information held within his Department is secure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35667/08]
The use of all portable electronic devices in my Department and the Defence Forces is covered by comprehensive ICT security policies, which have been in force for some years. The policies have undergone recent review and are supplemented by additional instructions from time to time to reflect changing requirements and best industry practice. They are published and distributed to all staff and are available on internal Defence networks. In line with these policies, all newly issued laptops have full hard disk encryption prior to issue and this level of protection is also being rolled out to older models. All devices issued are registered, tracked and updated with increased levels of protection, as necessary, from time to time. I am satisfied that these measures provide robust means of protection for all personal or private data held on portable electronic devices.
466 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Defence the cost of maintaining and providing security at the Military Barracks, Castlebar, County Mayo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35758/08]
The estimated cost of securing Mitchell Barracks for 2008 is approximately €25,500, based on the current rates of security allowance.
The Barracks is secured on a twenty-four hour basis throughout the year by members of the Defence Forces based in the barracks.
467 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Defence the average level of absenteeism within his Department for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35795/08]
468 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Defence the average level of staff absenteeism within each of the agencies within his Department’s remit for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35810/08]

I have set out in the following table the average number of days absence on sick leave per employee for each of the past 5 years for my Department and its agencies, which are Coiste an Asgard and the Civil Defence Board.

[35825/08]
470 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Defence the number of staff within agencies within the remit of his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reasons for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

471 Deputy Jimmy Deenihan asked the Minister for Defence if the Government has views on the possibility of Ireland switching from the Nordic battle group to the German led battle group; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36262/08]
Decisions regarding the participation of Member States in the European Union in Battlegroups are made on the basis of a number of criteria. It is a matter for each country to decide whether it will participate in a particular Battlegroup or not.
Regarding Ireland's participation in future Battlegroups, there has been some confusion arising from misinformed reporting in the media on the issue of our possible participation in the Austro/German Battlegroup. As I have previously stated in the Dáil we are currently examining the idea of contributing to both the Nordic Battlegroup (2011) and a new Austro/German Battlegroup (2012). It is not a question of either/or and there is certainly no question of us leaving the Nordic Battlegroup. We are already committed in principle to participation in the Nordic Battlegroup (NBG) which will be on stand-by for the first six months of 2011. As with the Nordic Battlegroup in 2008 the other contributors to the Nordic Battlegroup are Sweden (acting as Framework Nation), Finland, Norway and Estonia.
In addition, informal discussions have also taken place between staff in my Department and representatives from Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Croatia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) regarding Ireland's possible participation in the proposed Austro/German Battlegroup. This Battlegroup will be on stand-by for the second six months of 2012.
Government approval will be required before participation in either Battlegroup is finalised.
472 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will explain the rules and regulations for a driver with trade plates from the Republic of Ireland who drives in Northern Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35934/08]
The law relating to trade plates for which my Department has responsibility is provided in section 21 of the Finance (No. 2) Act 1992 and the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1992 . This law does not extend to the use of trade plates in Northern Ireland.
473 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the amount of money spent on capital investment by his Department for each year since 1997 in each of the 26 counties. [35392/08]
The financial provisions for capital spending both by my Department and local authority capital services funded by my Department are set out in the annual expenditure estimates for my Department, details of which are available in the Oireachtas library.
The compilation of information, not readily available, on hundreds of capital projects across all local authorities for the period in question would involve a disproportionate amount of time and work by my Department.
474 Deputy Fergus O’Dowd asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position regarding the proposal from an association (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35402/08]
A Project Brief together with a request for funding approval for the planning and design stage of this 20-house project, which has an overall cost of €4.8 million, was received from Louth County Council on 17 July, 2008. The proposal is being examined by my Department at present and a decision will be made as soon as possible.
475 Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will allow the private housing market to take its course without Government intervention; his plans for an initiative in the housing market; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35414/08]
As I indicated to the House last week during the debate on Budget 2009, it is important that the ongoing process of correction in the housing market is not artificially interfered with. Given that sentiment in the housing market is heavily dependent on wider sentiment in the economy, the Government's approach is focused on the broader economic fundamentals and ensuring, ultimately, that the housing market is underpinned by these.
Any housing-specific interventions must be targeted in nature and designed to achieve specific outcomes. The announcement in the Budget of the introduction, for a limited period, of a new mortgage product for certain first-time buyers is fully in line with this policy. It is designed to respond, in a targeted way, to a very specific set of circumstances in the housing market whereby prospective first-time buyers who would previously have been in a position to access mortgage finance from one of the financial institutions are not currently in a position to do so, due to the impacts of the credit crunch. The initiative provides no incentive to enter the housing market; it will merely facilitate certain first-time buyers who have themselves decided to purchase a home.
476 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the policy position on the allocation of payments from the environment fund; the groups and agencies that are eligible for moneys from the fund; the groups or agencies that may not be eligible under the fund, under section 12 of the Waste Management (Amendment) Act 2001; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35418/08]
Payments from the Environment Fund are allocated on the basis of their ability to best contribute to those purposes as set out in Section 12 of the Waste Management (Amendment) Act 2001. These purposes are:
(a) to assist, support or promote any programmes or schemes established for the prevention or reduction of waste in the State or the establishment of such programmes or schemes,
(b) to assist the establishment, equipping and, where appropriate, the operation of waste re-use and recycling activities generally, or recovery activities in respect of any specified class of waste,
(c) to assist, support or promote research and development with respect to any aspect of waste management,
(d) to assist, support or promote the production, distribution or sale of products of a particular class, being products which possess characteristics (whether characteristics of an inherent nature or related to the process by which they are manufactured) likely to render them less harmful to the environment than other products falling within the same class,
(e) to assist, support or promote the development of initiatives by producers to prevent or reduce waste arising from activities carried on by them,
(f) to assist generally the implementation of waste management plans (within the meaning of Part II) and the hazardous waste management plan,
(g) to facilitate or assist the enforcement of the provisions of any enactment (including this Act) relating to waste management or the prevention of litter or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment,
(h) to facilitate or assist projects, commonly known as partnership projects, that involve local authorities and the purpose of which is to improve the quality of the environment in so far as it affects a particular local community or communities,
(i) to promote awareness of the need generally to protect the environment and, in particular, to assist, support or promote national and regional campaigns the objectives of which are to foster such awareness,
(j) to promote or support education and training that would facilitate the achievement of the objectives of campaigns as aforesaid,
(k) to assist the provision of the necessary resources (whether human or material) to enable such education and training to be carried out or facilitate the improvement of any such resources that exist for the time being,
(l) to assist, support or promote initiatives undertaken by community groups, environmental groups or other like persons with respect to the protection of any aspect of the environment, and
(m) such other purposes with respect to the protection of the environment as may be prescribed.
No particular group or agency is precluded from applying for funding.
477 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position with regard to what has been identified in the National Development Plan 2007-2013 report as the very important contribution that private capital has made to the modernisation of Ireland’s waste management infrastructure and the anticipation that further significant investment will be forthcoming during the currency of the plan; the proposals he is considering, in consultation with the Department of Finance in view of the recent economic crises in the banking and credit systems to provide incentives to the private sector in return for further capital funding in respect of the provision of waste management infrastructure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35420/08]
I anticipate that the private sector will continue to invest in waste management infrastructure. Therefore, I have no plans at present to consult with the Department of Finance to provide incentives to the private sector for the provision of such infrastructure. The significant investment that has already taken place in waste infrastructure by the private sector demonstrates that such activities are generally profitable and thus do not require additional incentives. Furthermore any attempt to introduce such incentives could contravene EU rules on State Aid.
Statutory responsibility for the making and implementation of regional waste management plans, including the provision of infrastructure, rests with the local authority, or local authorities, concerned.
An objective of the National Development Plan is to continue to support local authority provision of infrastructure that will maximise the value recovered in waste recycling. Therefore, funding on waste management infrastructure by my Department is being prioritised to support the provision of infrastructure such as recycling facilities by local authorities which the private sector would not normally provide.
478 Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if a person seeks to sell a house acquired under shared ownership due to a change of employment, he will ensure that the 50% or relevant figure recovery by the council would be confined to the current market price if that is less than the original purchase price. [35439/08]
A person occupying a house under the shared ownership scheme has the right to buy out the local authority's share and acquire full ownership at any time. Alternatively, this may be done by purchasing, from time to time, additional shares of the authority's equity. The cost of purchasing an additional share or the redemption value of the outstanding share, for transactions commenced from 1 January 2003, is based on its initial cost adjusted annually to compensate for differences between the rent paid on the local authority's share and the interest calculated by reference to the prevailing interest rates. The same calculation methodology is utilised in the event that the owner of a house purchased through shared ownership wishes to sell the house on the open market.
The terms of individual shared ownership transactions are governed by the provisions of the lease entered into between the purchaser and the housing authority in each case.
479 Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will support a matter (details supplied). [35499/08]
Minimum standards for rental accommodation are prescribed in the Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations 1993, made under section 18 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1992. All landlords have a legal obligation to ensure that their rented properties comply with these regulations. Failure to do so is an offence, subject, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding €3,000, or a term of six months in prison or both and €250 for each day of a continuing offence. Responsibility for enforcing the regulations rests with the relevant local authority, supported by a dedicated stream of funding allocated by my Department.
In line with the commitment in Towards 2016 to update these minimum standards, work is nearing completion on a package of measures to deliver on this objective. Higher standards will be introduced for sanitary and cooking facilities, heating, ventilation and lighting. Provisions in respect of fire safety and refuse facilities will be included in this package and I expect proposals in this regard to be submitted to Government shortly, with the associated regulations being made thereafter.
A number of specific elements of the package will require primary legislation and will be addressed in the context of the passage through the Oireachtas of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008. These include increased penalties for non-compliance and the introduction of a more robust sanctions regime.
Local authorities have significantly expanded their inspection regimes in recent years. Over 14,000 inspections of rental accommodation were reported by local authorities in 2007, representing an increase of 42% on the corresponding figure for 2006. More detailed information on the number of inspections carried out each year up to and including 2007 is included in my Department's Annual Housing Statistics Bulletins, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library and on my Department's website at www.environ.ie.
My Department provides significant resources, from part of the proceeds of tenancy registration fees collected by the Private Residential Tenancies Board, to assist local authorities in discharging their functions under the Housing Acts in relation to rented accommodation. Over €9m has been provided to local authorities for this purpose since 2004. Funding is increasingly being related to inspection performance. Half of the funding paid in respect of 2007 was based on actual inspections carried out and this will also be the case in respect of 2008. I have no doubt that the significantly increased funding being made available to local authorities for inspection activity, and the manner in which I am increasingly linking funding allocations to actual inspections carried out, have contributed to the improved performance.
It is a matter for each individual local authority to decide on the specific details of its inspection arrangements. However, in discharging their responsibilities in relation to the rental sector, authorities have been asked to have regard to the report — Good Practice Guidelines for Local Authorities on Standards in the Private Rented Sector: Strategic Planning, Effective Enforcement — published by the Centre for Housing Research in November 2007, which makes a range of recommendations on matters relevant to inspection procedures such as identifying and targeting inspection requirements.
480 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the sites on which building work has occurred on flood plains in County Carlow; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35525/08]
I have no function in the matter raised in the Question.
481 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the annual costs incurred by his Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35554/08]
The Office of Public Works (OPW) has responsibility for acquiring property under the decentralisation programme. My Department has not incurred any property related costs to date.
The total expenditure by my Department in relation to non-property costs for the decentralisation programme for each of the last four years is set out below. This covers training, travel and subsistence, and costs associated with the establishment and ongoing maintenance of an advance office in Wexford since June 2007.

482 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the progress made by his Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35569/08]
Under the decentralisation programme, a site has been acquired for my Department's Headquarter offices in Wexford. The building is under construction and expected to be completed by December 2008 and ready for occupation from February 2009. My Department will then transfer 270 posts into these offices, commencing in Q1 2009. An advance office was established in Wexford on 25 June 2007 and is currently staffed by 45 people.
The Government decision on the decentralisation programme announced on 14 October indicated that the Department's other three locations in the South-East, Waterford, New Ross and Kilkenny are being deferred pending the outcome of a review in 2011 in light of budgetary developments.
The decentralisation of the National Building Agency and the Local Government Computer Services Board is also deferred pending this review.
The provision of accommodation for my Department is a matter for the Office of Public Works.
483 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the status of the implementation of Traveller accommodation plans; the number living in unserviced halting sites or by the roadside; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35579/08]
Since the enactment of the Housing (Traveller Accommodation) Act in 1998, local authorities have adopted two successive Traveller accommodation programmes. In the course of the first programmes, covering the five-year period 2000 to 2004, some 1,371 additional Traveller families were provided with permanent, secure accommodation. This included some 586 units of Traveller-specific accommodation including halting sites and group housing. Over the same period there was a 50% reduction in the number of families living on unauthorised sites, down from 1,207 at the start of the programmes to 601 families at their completion.
Significant progress is being made under the second Traveller accommodation programmes, covering the four-year period 2005 to 2008. At end 2007, some 1,156 additional units of accommodation were provided, of which 297 were Traveller-specific.
The most recent annual count of Traveller families, taken in November 2007, showed a total of 8,099 families nationally, an increase of 42% since the first Traveller accommodation programmes began in 2000. The number of Traveller families living on unauthorised sites in November 2007 was 594. This includes 364 families located on un-serviced sites on the roadside, in private gardens/fields or other property.
484 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the amount that was granted in pensions in each of the past five years to individuals who retired early from his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35640/08]
485 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the amount that was spent in each of the past five years on staff who replaced those who took early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35655/08]
493 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the number of staff within his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reason for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35828/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 484, 485 and 493 together.
The total pension cost in respect to staff who retired early from the Department in the period 2003 to 2007 is set out in the following table:

All staff with one exception were subsequently replaced. Replacement costs for these staff are not readily available due to time delays in replacing staff, replacement staff being on different incremental points etc.
Thirteen staff have availed of early retirement schemes in the past three years. They ranged across the grades, clerical to principal officer including inspector grades. Two people were in their forties and the remainder in their fifties. The grounds of retirement included ill health and cost neutral early retirement.
The salary scales for all administrative and professional and technical grades are available on the Department of Finance website (www.finance.gov.ie).
486 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, blackberries and other hand-held devices in his Department; if he is satisfied that all personal information held within his Department is secure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35670/08]
It is the Department's policy to ensure that all newly procured laptops have encryption software installed as standard. A rolling project to ensure that all existing stock is updated with the latest encryption technology is also underway. Blackberry devices are secured using a combination of PIN and password protection.
The Department's Information and Communications Technology security procedures are kept under constant review. I am satisfied that appropriate measures have been taken to ensure that all personal information held within the Department is secure.
487 Deputy Dan Neville asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position regarding the sewerage scheme in respect of Bruff, County Limerick; if his Department has received a submission of Limerick County Council’s preliminary report of the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35685/08]
The Bruff Sewerage Scheme, which is being advanced as part of a grouped project that includes Drumcollogher, Hospital and Pallasgreen, is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009 as a scheme to start construction in 2009.
Limerick County Council's Preliminary Report for the grouped project was received in my Department in September 2008 and is being examined.
488 Deputy Dan Neville asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the process regarding a sewerage scheme in respect of Adare, County Limerick; the position regarding same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35686/08]
The Adare Sewerage Scheme is being funded under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009.
My Department is awaiting submission of Limerick County Council's Contract Documents for the scheme.
489 Deputy Liz McManus asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government his views on concerns regarding the smoke pollution in Greystones, County Wicklow; his plans to tackle this problem in Greystones and across urban areas in County Wicklow; if he will extend the smokeless fuel zone to Greystones and County Wicklow; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35708/08]
The ban on the marketing, sale and distribution of bituminous coal currently applies in 16 urban areas nationally. The selection of these areas took account of air quality monitoring data and population size. On the basis of these criteria, the ban currently applies to two towns in Co. Wicklow, Bray and Arklow.
The question of extending the areas subject to smokeless fuels regulations has been, and continues to be, kept under review in consultation with local authorities and having regard to the need to ensure good air quality. Monitoring at permanent and mobile monitoring stations by the EPA and local authorities confirms that air quality in Ireland is good. The question of the need to extend the air quality monitoring network to cover additional urban areas due to population changes has been raised with the EPA in the context of an overall monitoring review which has been requested by my Department as part of the Programme for Government commitment on monitoring air quality. I expect the EPA will conclude this review by year end.
No issue in relation to smog in Greystones due to the burning of bituminous coal has been brought to the attention of my Department.
490 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the number of dogs and cats put down by wardens in 2007 on a county basis in tabular form; the cost of putting down these animals for each county; the length of time the animals are kept before being put down; the cost of keeping the animals for that period; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35757/08]
Local authorities provide a dog warden service in accordance with the provisions of the Control of Dogs Acts. Dogs which are impounded are generally kept for five days before being put to sleep. The cost of operating this service is a matter for each local authority.
Details in respect of dogs put to sleep in 2007 by each local authority are provided in the following table. No statistics are available in regard to cats.

492 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the average level of staff absenteeism within each of the agencies within his Department’s remit for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35813/08]
Day to day operational matters, including the level of staff absenteeism, in the agencies reporting to my Department are matters for the individual agencies concerned.
494 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the number of staff within agencies within the remit of his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reasons for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35843/08]
Day to day operational matters, including ill health retirement and cost neutral early retirement, in the case of staff of the agencies reporting to my Department are matters for the individual agencies concerned. My sanction would be required to the application in these agencies of any other early retirement scheme and this has not arisen in the years 2005, 2006 and 2007.
495 Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the procedures in place to ensure that Directive 2006/21/EC on the management of waste from the extractive industries is transposed into Irish legislation; the timeframe for same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35855/08]
Draft regulations to transpose Directive 2006/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 on the management of waste from extractive industries, and amending Directive 2004/35/EC, were published for public consultation on 29 September 2008.
Following consideration of any submissions received during the public consultation period, which ends on 7 November 2008, I expect to finalise the Waste Management (Management of Waste from the Extractive Industries) Regulations 2008 by the end of the year.
496 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government further to Parliamentary Question No. 1809 of 31 January 2007, if he has received the preliminary report on the development of a sewerage scheme for the village of Creggs, County Galway; if the scheme will be included in the next phase of his Department’s water services investment programme; the timetable for the publication of this programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35911/08]
Since the Creggs proposal is not included in the current Water Services Investment Programme, Galway County Council is not required to furnish a Preliminary Report in respect of it. Schemes to be considered for a future capital investment programme will be assessed in relation to their relative priority and the resources available for the Programme in future years.
497 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government further to Parliamentary Question No. 323 of 8 October 2008, the restrictions which are placed on proposed natural heritage areas; if, in view of his reply, he will remove the proposal to designate these lands; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35913/08]
Natural Heritage Areas (NHAs) are formally designated by Statutory Instrument under the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2000. Proposed NHAs (pNHAs), have yet to be legally designated and as such are not protected under the Wildlife Acts. However, they may be afforded some protection under the Planning and Development Acts where their ecological value is recognised in the Development Plan of the relevant planning authority.
Proposed restrictions on pNHAs under the Wildlife Acts will vary depending on the habitat type, species or geological feature to be protected. Some pNHAs are very small in area, such as a roosting place. Others are large such as a blanket bog or lake. Several hundred sites are currently proposed for designation as NHAs countrywide. These sites include a very diverse range of habitats, animals and plants.
I have no plans to remove the proposed designation of these sites as NHAs.
498 Deputy Deirdre Clune asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the way he will implement the European Communities third postal directive; the timeframe for its implementation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35377/08]
Given the nature of many of the issues to be considered, primary legislation will be required to transpose the Directive into Irish law. My Department recently held a public consultation on the key issues arising from the Directive for Ireland and the responses are currently being assessed with a view to informing and assisting the transposition of the Directive.
499 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the amount spent on capital investment by his Department for each year since 1997 in each of the 26 counties. [35387/08]
The following table sets out on a subhead by subhead basis the capital expenditure undertaken by my Department since its establishment in June 2007. The information is not available on a county by county basis. However, if the Deputy has a question in relation to a specific item of capital spending I will make appropriate enquiries.

500 Deputy Enda Kenny asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources further to a previous parliamentary question (details supplied), his views on whether both the 25% and the 28% reductions are significantly lower than the 42% figure for renewable generation and that this is as a result of diminishing returns and reflects reduced efficiency in the fossil fuel generating sector as wind is added to the grid; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35434/08]
The modelling work employed in the "All Island Grid Study" applied a series of assumptions to the six portfolios examined. The study took portfolio 1, which includes 16% renewable electricity in 2020, as the reference case to assess the performance of the other portfolios. In the case of portfolio 5, which examines a 42% share of renewable generation capacity in 2020, the estimated savings in emissions and reduction in gas imports are the additional savings achievable over and above the savings delivered by Portfolio 1 as the reference case. The figures of 25% reduction in emissions savings and 28% reduction in gas used for electricity generation postulated in the Grid Study reflect the comparative difference between 42% renewable capacity on the system in 2020 and 16% renewable capacity on the system in 2020. The absolute reductions in emissions and gas for 42% renewable capacity (i.e. by reference to zero renewable capacity) would accordingly be higher than 25% and 28% respectively.
501 Deputy Enda Kenny asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the details of studies or computer modelling of the electricity grid being planned, conducted or paid for in 2008 or 2009 by his Department or any of the State agencies for which he has responsibility; if he will include the goals and aims of the work, the Department or agency involved, the organisations and names of those responsible paid to carry out the work, the cost of such work, the expected completion date and the expected publication date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35435/08]
A study has been commissioned to rework the findings of the All-Island Electricity Grid Study to take specific account of potential Demand Side Management measures. The study is part of an agreed programme of out-working a range of aspects of the Grid Study. The study has been commissioned jointly by my Department and the Northern Ireland Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment, and the contract has recently been awarded to independent international consultants, Ecofys. The study, which will cost €74,200 (excluding VAT), is expected to be completed in the first quarter 2009 and the intention is to publish the report, jointly with Northern Ireland, as soon as possible thereafter.
502 Deputy Enda Kenny asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the details of studies or computer modelling, of the electricity market being planned, conducted of paid for in 2008 or 2009 by his Department of any of the State agencies for which he has responsibility; if he will include the goals and aims of the work, the Department or agency involved, the organisations and names of those responsible paid to carry out the work, the cost of such work, the expected completion date and the expected publication date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35436/08]
My Department has not conducted direct studies or computer modelling of the electricity market in 2008, nor are there any planned for 2009. In the performance of its statutory functions including in relation to the Single Electricity Market (SEM), the Commission for Energy Regulation undertake various studies and modelling tasks on the electricity market. I am advised that the Commission jointly with the Northern Ireland Regulator is currently modelling the effect of the incorporation of increased levels of wind power in the SEM. It is expected that this study will be finalised before the end of the year. The cost of this work is a day to day operational matter for the Commission, which is statutorily independent in the performance of its functions.
My Department currently makes a contribution towards the overall running costs of the ESRI's Energy Policy Research Centre which conducts a range of research relevant to energy policy under its annual work programme. This research programme has included in previous years simulation modelling of the Irish electricity system and analysis of interconnection and energy efficiency. I am advised that future work of the Centre in this area includes the cost of renewables integration into the electricity system and the development of a dynamic model of power generation to inform consideration of appropriate electricity generation investment for Ireland.
503 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he will confirm that grants available through the community salmon hardship fund aimed at encouraging salmon fishermen to diversify into other businesses, precludes grant aid for fishing vessels and funding for any aspect of a fishing operation that will increase fishing effort; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35536/08]
The Community Support Scheme, amounting to €5 million, has been made available to those affected by the cessation of the mixed stock salmon fishery through the implementing bodies viz. 15 LEADER companies and Comhdháil Oileáin na hÉireann, in respect of island communities and Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta Teoranta, in respect of the Gaeltacht areas. The scheme is primarily targeted at those communities where commercial salmon fishing has been a well-established activity and where its withdrawal demonstrably impacts on the economic and social fabric of the area. Initiatives which may be considered for funding include retraining of the labour force previously employed in the mixed stock fishery, diversification into non-salmon fishing activity and projects to promote the quality of the local environment. As the focus of the scheme is on diversification from salmon fishery activity, grant aid is not provided for measures that will promote such activity. In addition, under current EU State Aid Guidelines, grant aid for the construction of fishing vessels and funding for any aspect of a fishing operation that will increase fishing effort are prohibited. Such proposals cannot therefore be considered for funding under the Community Support Scheme or any other Government funded scheme.
504 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the annual costs incurred by his Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35549/08]
The vast majority of property related costs in relation to decentralisation have been paid directly by the Office of Public Works (OPW). Earlier this year the Department agreed a short term rental of storage facilities in Cavan and costs to date in 2008 are €3200. The total non-property costs incurred by the Department in respect of the decentralisation programme since 2003 and reported to date to the Department of Finance are €104,538. This expenditure relates to advance moves of functions and staff resources to Cavan and Clonakilty. The majority of costs relate to the relocation of the entire seafood functions to Clonakilty and, as the Deputy will be aware, subsequent to the relocation to Clonakilty being completed, these functions were transferred to the now Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Food.
505 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the progress made by his Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35564/08]
The Decentralisation Programme as originally announced in December 2003 included the proposal to relocate the Headquarters of my Department in its entirety to Cavan Town. This involved the relocation of approximately 300 Civil Service posts. A total of 56 staff members from my Department have relocated to interim accommodation in Cavan Town to date. This interim accommodation was arranged by the Office of Public Works who are responsible for property issues under the decentralisation programme. My Department separately rents a small storage area in Cavan. The Government has recently announced that the decentralisation of the rest of my Department to Cavan is deferred pending a review in 2011.
506 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources when discussions will be completed on the next generation broadband consultation papers; if a decision has been made on the roll out of phase II of the MANs projects; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35605/08]
518 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources when he expects to receive the draft policy paper on next generation broadband networks; if he will implement the value for money and policy review of phase one of the MANs programme; if he will provide the required funds for MANs projects in Castlerea and Boyle, County Roscommon; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35908/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 506 and 518 together.
The consultation period on the "Consultation Paper on Next Generation Broadband" has now concluded and my officials are evaluating the submissions received. I will publish the final policy paper shortly. Future investment decisions, including any investment in any new Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) will be guided by the final policy paper on Next Generation Broadband, the recommendations of the Value for Money and Policy Review of Phase I of the MANs Programme, available resources and any other analyses as appropriate.
507 Deputy Enda Kenny asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if his attention has been drawn to the recent EirGrid strategy document entitled Grid 25; his views on EirGrid’s description of their mission (details supplied); the person whose mission it is to develop, maintain and operate a safe, secure, reliable, economical and efficient electricity generating system here; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35616/08]
EirGrid launched its grid development strategy, Grid25, on 8 October 2008. The Strategy sets out a roadmap for the development of the electricity transmission network for the next seventeen years and aims to double the capacity of the national grid during this period. This increase in capacity is required to meet the projected increase in electricity demand over that period, and to support economic development throughout the regions by making available a secure, reliable, efficient and economical energy supply. The expansion of the grid will also enable the integration of renewable energy, in line with EU renewable energy and climate change targets as well as the Government's recently announced increased target of 40% electricity from renewable sources by 2020. Enhanced interconnectivity with the UK, and in due course with mainland Europe, will also contribute fundamentally to security of supply and Ireland's integration in the European energy Market.
EirGrid's statement of its mission reflects its mandate under statute to carry out the role of the independent electricity transmission system and market operator. EirGrid is funded through electricity use of system charges overseen by the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) and its core activities are to develop and maintain the grid infrastructure, to balance supply and demand for electricity on a national basis through the national control centre, and to operate, in conjunction with SONI (the Northern Ireland transmission system operator) the Single Electricity Market. In its role as transmission system and market operator, EirGrid produces an annual Generation Adequacy Report which sets out forecasts for electricity demand over a period of 7 years, and assesses the projected availability of generation and interconnector capacity in place or being developed to meet this demand. The CER also has statutory functions and powers in relation to ensuring security of electricity supply and works with EirGrid and generators to facilitate optimum availability of generating capacity and the operation of the transmission and distribution system.
Working with the CER, EirGrid's approach to the development and operation of the transmission system, is fully in line with the Government's energy policy objectives. The collective task is to ensure sufficient generation and transmission capacity to meet Ireland's present and future energy needs, underpinning our transition to a low-carbon economy, and ensuring security of electricity supply and sustainability competitiveness.
508 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the measures or policies he has introduced to protect data stored on laptops, blackberries and other portable devices within the public service; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35629/08]
511 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, blackberries and other hand-held devices in his Department; if he has satisfied himself that all personal information held within his Department is secure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35665/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 508 and 511 together.
I do not have statutory responsibility to impose any particular measures across the public service in relation to the data stored on laptops, blackberries and other portable devices. In relation to my own Department, it employs layered network defences including intrusion detection systems, multiple firewalls, web content filtering, anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-spam devices to block dangerous traffic and protect all information on the computer network. Blackberry devices are by default encrypted devices, with access protected by a password, and my Department has the capability to remotely wipe any devices that are reported missing. The low level of personal data held and processed within my Department informed a decision that there was no need to automatically encrypt all laptops used, as it was considered that the level of risk of losing personal data was very slight. My Department carries out a full independent audit of all computer systems each year and one is scheduled to be carried out before the end of the year. Any recommendations that are made to further secure the computers and data held by my Department will be implemented.
509 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the amount that was granted in pensions in each of the past five years to individuals who retired early from his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35635/08]
510 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the amount spent in each of the past five years on staff who replaced those who took early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35650/08]
516 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the number of staff within his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reason for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35823/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 509, 510 and 516 together.
The Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources was established in June 2007. There have been no instances of early retirement by staff in the Department.
512 Deputy Liz McManus asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the amount of electricity generated by fossil fuel generating plants here; the amount of emissions per megawatt hour from that generation in each of the past ten years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35718/08]
Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI) collects and publishes energy statistics to support policy analysis and development in line with national needs and international obligations. SEI has provided the data set out in the following table on the amount of electricity generated by fossil fuel generating plants and the amount of related CO2 emissions per megawatt hour for each of the past ten years. The overall downward trend in carbon emissions reflects the increased use of higher efficiency natural gas plants in the conventional powergeneration portfolio.

514 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the average level of absenteeism within his Department for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35793/08]
The Department of Communications Energy and Natural Resources was established in June 2007. From June 2007 to 17 October 2008, there has been 5,598 sick leave days taken by staff. Of that total, 3,143 were attributable to staff on long-term sick leave, some of whom no longer work in the Department. This leaves a remainder of 2,455 actual sick leave days taken by staff or an average of 7 days per staff member in the 17 month period. The average number of days if long-term sick leave is included is 16 days per staff member over the 17 month period, approximately 11 days per annum.
515 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the average level of staff absenteeism within each of the agencies within his Department’s remit for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35808/08]
517 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the number of staff within agencies within the remit of his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reasons for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35838/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 515 and 517 together.
The management of staff resources and related matters within the State Agencies is a day to day operational matter for the agencies themselves. I have no function in that regard.
519 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will guarantee that the Greencastle harbour development project in County Donegal will receive in 2009 the €12 million funding that can be made available by his Department; if he is committed to completing the breakwater at Greencastle harbour; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35464/08]
My Department has provided significant funding for the development in Greencastle since it commenced in 2007. In the current year €3.6 million has been provided for the construction of the breakwater. As the 2009 Fishery Harbour and Coastal Infrastructure Development Programme has not yet been drafted I am not in a position to state the level of funding available for Greencastle or any other harbour projects. Funding for the Greencastle will however be given consideration on the basis of the Exchequer allocation for 2009 and overall national priorities.
520 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the amount spent on capital investment by his Department for each year since 1997 in each of the 26 counties. [35385/08]
The bulk of capital expenditure for my Department relates to payments to individual farmers under demand led schemes involving capital expenditure at farm level. Attached are details of the total capital expenditure for each year since 1997. A detailed breakdown by county for the period in question is not readily available and would take an inordinate amount of time to complete. However, if the Deputy has questions in relation to specific capital investments, I will endeavour to provide the information.

521 Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when an area aid payment will be issued to a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35444/08]
The Single Payment Scheme application for the person named has been fully processed and any payment due will issue shortly. In addition the person named submitted an application under Category A of the 2008 National Reserve. Category A caters for farmers who inherited land or received land free of charge or for a nominal sum from a farmer who had retired or died by 16 May, 2005 and who had leased out his/her holding to a third party during the reference period 2000 to 2002. This application has been processed and a formal letter outlining my Department's decision will issue shortly to the person named.
522 Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when 2008 agricultural payments will be issued to a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35445/08]
While under the EU regulations governing the Single Payment Scheme, the earliest date payments may issue is 1 December of the scheme-year concerned, provision is also made for payments to be made earlier, subject to EU approval. Prompted by the very wet summer, which seriously affected farming, I approached the Agriculture Commissioner seeking agreement to an early advance 50% payment, in line with arrangements agreed for the 2007 scheme. I am pleased to say that the necessary approval was readily forthcoming and payments began to issue on 16 October, the first day of the new EU financial year. An application under the 2008 Single Payment Scheme, which was received from the person named on 6 May 2008, has now been processed and the 50% advance payment of €6,008.29 issued on 20 October.
523 Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when 2008 single farm payment will be issued to a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35446/08]
The person named is not currently the registered owner of the herd number quoted. An application under 2008 Single Payment Scheme was received on 6 May 2008 in the name of the father of the person named. An official of my Department is in direct contact with the person named with a view to regularising the position, in order that payment may issue at an early date.
524 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if his Department has supplied all of the information sought by the ombudsman in connection with the ombudsman’s investigation into the lost at sea scheme; and if its discussions with the ombudsman have concluded; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35466/08]
My Department has supplied all of the information sought by the Ombudsman in relation to her examination and subsequent formal investigation into the Lost at Sea Scheme. The Ombudsman will decide when her investigation is finalised and when a report on the matter will be published.
The Department will of course provide any further information if requested by the Ombudsman.
525 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will confirm that the conditions set down in the lost at sea scheme relating to the requirement that the fishing vessels which qualified for replacement tonnage awarded under the scheme must be skippered by the applicant or by a relative of the applicant has been and continues to be the case in respect of the six successful applicants under the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35467/08]
The purpose of the Lost at Sea Scheme was to enable qualifying applicants, who were otherwise unable to do so for financial or related reasons, to provide replacement capacity for the purposes of introducing a replacement vessel in respect of fishing boats lost at sea between 1980 and the establishment of the fishing boat register in 1990, in order to continue a family tradition of sea-fishing.
The terms of the Lost at Sea Scheme have always required and continue to require that the non-tradable (i.e. cannot be sold or realised as a financial asset in the tonnage market) capacity granted under the scheme must be used for the purposes of introducing a replacement boat for the lost vessel, which is owned and skippered by the applicant or by an immediate relation of the applicant. These terms were accepted in writing by all the applicants approved under the scheme.
The Sea Fisheries Protection Authority, established under the provisions of the Sea Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Act 2006, is Ireland's competent independent authority for Seafood Safety and Sea-Fisheries Protection and has responsibility for the continuous monitoring, control and enforcement of sea fisheries regulations. Any questions in relation to the monitoring, control or enforcement should be referred directly to the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority.
526 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the annual costs incurred by his Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35547/08]
My Department submits a quarterly return to the Decentralisation Implementation Group detailing the non-property costs of the programme. To the end of June 2008, the last reporting deadline, the costs reported for the programme to date amounted to €147,031 (see table for details by year). Figures for the third quarter will be available at the end of October.

527 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the progress made by his Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35562/08]
The original Government decision on the decentralisation of my Department was that 600 headquarters staff would move to Portlaoise; some 100 staff in the local offices in Cork city would move to Fermoy; and up to 100 staff in the laboratories in Cork and Limerick would move to Macroom. Fisheries joined the Department in 2007 and the move of that function of my Department to Clonakilty is now substantially complete with 84 staff having moved there since the programme began. The decision regarding state agencies was that Bord Bia would move to Enniscorthy and Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) would move to Clonakilty.
Following the decentralisation announcement in the Budget 2009, the moves to Portlaoise and Clonakilty (including BIM) were approved by Government to proceed. The moves to Fermoy, Macroom and Enniscorthy have been deferred pending a review in 2011.
My Department's original Decentralisation Implementation Plan allowed for a phased move to Portlaoise and the 2005, 2006 and 2007 advance phases of decentralisation to Portlaoise were completed on schedule. To date, the Department has met its targets as set out in its original plan and in total, since the programme was announced, there has been an increase of 297 full-time posts in Portlaoise bringing the total number there to almost 500. The Office of Public Works (OPW) announced last December that a consortium, the Macquarie Partnership, has won the tender for the project to build the permanent offices in Portlaoise (as part of a public private partnership including offices in Mullingar and Carlow) and planning permission for the new building has now been granted. A revision to the Department's Decentralisation Implementation Plan is now being considered, to reflect the changes to the timetable and the progress so far, as well as the evolving operating environment. An additional advance phase has been agreed and planning and preparations for this phase are currently underway.
The acquisition of property for the decentralisation programme is dealt with primarily by the Office of Public Works (OPW) and they have supplied the following details of the site acquisition at the two locations.

531 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, Blackberries and other hand-held devices in his Department; if he is satisfied that all personal information held within his Department is secure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35663/08]
My Department has a secure and robust Information Technology infrastructure, at both the hardware and software levels, that provides protection for all of its electronic information.
Laptops distributed to staff within my Department are used primarily to facilitate secure remote access to the Department's computer network and applications and to assist staff in preparing work related presentations, spreadsheets and documents. While accessing the system remotely, the corporate data continues to be stored in the Department's secure data centre rather than on the laptop.
All Departmental laptops are protected by use of a user-id and password and the Department has commenced a programme of encrypting all laptops used by its staff.
The Department has in place policies for the secure handling and use of mobile devices.
On an ongoing basis, the Department reminds staff of the importance of IT security and of their responsibilities in the protection of personnel/private data.
532 Deputy Paul Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the reason a person (details supplied) in County Galway has not received his or her area based payment or the 50% of the single farm payment for 2008; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35682/08]
The person named submitted a Single Payment/Disadvantaged Area Scheme application in 2008 and his application was selected for a satellite inspection. The inspection results have been returned, the application for the person named has been fully processed and payments due under both Schemes will issue shortly.
533 Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, regarding an application by Iarnród Éireann for disposal at sea of dredge material from maintenance dredging at Rosslare Europort, full account will be taken in the decision making process of the undertaking by CIÉ to ensure that a minimum of three feet of water is consistently maintained at low tide in the lagoon and of a survey commissioned by an association (details supplied) which is at odds with the survey commissioned by Iarnród Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35684/08]
The application by Iarnród Éireann for a Dumping At Sea permit to facilitate disposal at sea of dredge material arising from maintenance dredging is being processed by my Department. In accordance with standard procedures, the application was referred to the Marine Licence Vetting Committee (MLVC) for examination.
The MLVC has indicated that it is of the view that the proposed dredging of sand at the eastern side of the main east breakwater at the port would not have a significant negative impact on the marine environment and other legitimate users of the area and that the proposed disposal of the material in the near shore zone at Rosslare Strand would represent a beneficial re-use of this material as it would contribute to the re-nourishment of Rosslare Strand which is undergoing erosion.
The available scientific evidence indicates that the net movement of sediments in the area of the proposed disposal site is towards the north and thus the disposal of material at the proposed site will have a minimal impact on the sediment accumulation in the lagoon. The dredging and disposal of the spoil will not, however, prevent sediment accumulation in the lagoon as the scientific evidence indicates that origin of this material is from the south.
A final determination on the application will be made as soon as possible.
534 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, in view of the difficult weather conditions in 2008 and the consequently increased consumption of compound feeds by animals on farms, he will review the regulations regarding permissible levels of phosphates and potash allowed to be spread on farm holdings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35704/08]
The requirements in relation to phosphorus are set out in the Nitrates Regulations introduced by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government in 2006 (SI No. 378 of 2006). The Regulations set maximum limits on the application of fertilisers containing nitrogen and phosphorus and require a farmer to take account of the phosphorus content of any concentrated feedstuffs fed to grazing livestock on the holding in calculating the maximum amount of phosphorus that may be applied on that holding in a given year. While the usage of feedstuffs may have increased as a result of the recent bad weather, the sales of fertilisers containing phosphorus are significantly reduced this year with the result that abiding by the maximum fertilisation rates should be easier for farmers.
The overall objective of the Regulations is to protect water quality and these provisions are designed to control the application of fertilisers, including the timing, method and maximum amounts that may be applied, in order to prevent fertiliser losses to water. The contents of the Regulations, including the maximum fertilisation rates and method of calculation, were the subject of extensive consultation with stakeholders, including the farming bodies, and were finalised following a long period of negotiation with the EU Commission. I am informed that there are no plans to review the maximum fertilisation rates.
535 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the format whereby his Department notifies farmers regarding their stocking density; if he will review same with a view to informing farmers on a more frequent basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35705/08]
Annual statements indicating the production of nitrogen and phosphorus (N&P) by cattle on a holding have been supplied to farmers since 2006. Mid-year statements have also been provided as a service to farmers to assist them in calculating N&P production on their holdings and to enable them to take appropriate steps if they appear likely to exceed the maximum of limit of 170 kg per hectare of nitrogen from livestock manure per year as required under the European Communities (Good Agricultural Practice for Protection of Waters) Regulations 2006 (SI no. 378 of 2006).
My Department now offers farmers access to their annual statement on-line. For farmers without on-line access, the annual statements are available on request from my Department's Nitrates Section in Johnstown Castle and from District Veterinary Offices.
My Department has also consulted the farm bodies on the format and content of the statements. The feasibility of the suggestions that have been put forward, including the possibility of making statements available on a more frequent basis, will have to be examined in the light of current financial constraints.
536 Deputy P. J. Sheehan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when a person (details supplied) in County Cork will be awarded a farm waste management grant; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35737/08]
The person concerned was paid grant-aid under the Farm Waste Management Scheme by my Department on 13 October 2008.
537 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will confirm that payments for REP scheme four will be made in November 2008 as set out in the guidelines; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35753/08]
Advance payments of 75% under the EU regulations governing REPS 4 can only issue when all administrative checks on all 2008 applications for REPS 4 and the 2008 Single Payment Scheme are completed. This work is still ongoing with a view to beginning payment in November. The balancing 25% payment will follow when all 2008 REPS on-farm inspections have taken place.
538 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the number of farmers who applied for compensatory area based payments to his Department in 2007 and 2008; the number of farmers in these years who applied for payment on holdings in excess of 34 hectares; the anticipated savings by his Department for 2009 arising from the introduction of a maximum hectarage limit of 34 hectares; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35782/08]
540 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the level of reduction in disadvantaged area payments arising from the Budget 2009 announcement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35784/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 538 and 540 together.
The total number of applications received under the 2007 and 2008 Disadvantaged Areas Schemes was 106,427 and 104,783 respectively. The number of farmers, who claimed in excess of 34 eligible hectares under the 2007 Scheme, was 35,162 and the amount paid on areas in excess of that limit was €28.4 million. The final figures for the 2008 Scheme are not available as the processing of applications under that Scheme is ongoing.
539 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the proportion of costs for the fallen animal scheme apportioned to all sectors involved in the scheme in 2007 and 2008; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35783/08]
The Department paid €10.15m to the Animal Collectors in 2007 in respect of the collection of 250,000 animals. The amount paid up to the 30th September 2008 was €10.345m in respect of 251,000 animals.
In 2007 €13.64m was paid to four approved plants for the rendering and disposal of 62,000 tonnes of fallen material. In 2008 up to the 30th September 2008 the amount paid was €10.9m in respect of 56,000 tonnes.
541 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the level of payment envisaged per suckler cow under the suckler cow welfare scheme arising from budget 2009 announcements; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35785/08]
In the "Towards 2016" Partnership Agreement, a commitment was made to provide Funding of €250 million in support of a suckler scheme to encourage appropriate development on suckler farms in line with national & EU priorities and to assist adaptation to market requirements.
Based on the very significant level of participation, the cost of the scheme, at a rate of €80 per cow, will be some €77 million for 2008.
In order that the scheme is continued within the €250 million funding budget, it will, on current levels of participation, be necessary to reduce the rate of payment in future years. The rate of payment for the remaining years of the scheme will be determined by reference to the continuing rate of participation. The rate applicable to 2009 will be advised to participating farmers before the end of this year.
542 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if his Department will honour all applicants under the farm retirement scheme and installation aid scheme which were received in his Department before budget 2009 day; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35786/08]
Applications under the Early Retirement Scheme (ERS3) 2007 and the Young Farmers' Installation Scheme received in my Department up to and including 14 October 2008 will be processed as normal.
543 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the average level of absenteeism within his Department for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35791/08]
The following table sets out the average number of working days lost per employee in my Department due to sick leave since 2003:

544 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the average level of staff absenteeism within each of the agencies within his Department’s remit for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35806/08]
Ongoing human resource management in Agencies under the remit of this Department is an operational matter for the agencies and I have no function in the matter.
545 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the number of staff within his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reason for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35821/08]
Cost Neutral Early Retirement (CNER) was introduced by the Minister for Finance in 2005. This is a facility which allows established staff to retire between 50 and 60 and un-established staff to retire between 55 and 65 with immediate payment of pension and lump sum. These benefits are subject to actuarial reduction to take account of early payment of the lump sum and the longer period over which the pension is payable.
The information set out in the table shows the position in my Department regarding staff who availed of Cost Neutral Early Retirement in the last 3 years. There is also a provision in the superannuation regulations which enables staff to retire early on ill health grounds, subject to the approval of the Minister for Finance. The position regarding the staff in my Department who retired on these grounds is also set out.

546 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the number of staff within agencies within the remit of his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reasons for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35836/08]
Ongoing human resource management in Agencies under the remit of this Department is an operational matter for the agencies themselves.
547 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the amount of funding that has been set aside for aquaculture under the €42 million operational fund for fisheries; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35861/08]
The Seafood Development Operational Programme which was adopted by the EU Commission on the 9th September 2008 was allocated €42.26 million of European Fisheries Funds for the period 2007-2013. This Operational Programme will only involve schemes which are co-funded by EFF monies. Following intense negotiations between Department and the EU Commission these co-funded monies were allocated in the main to the decommissioning scheme which was identified as a priority by the Cawley Strategy, Steering A New Course.
Aquaculture development will be supported by exchequer funding for the 2007-2013 period. The estimates for 2009 has set aside €5 million to support aquaculture development. In addition support is provided to the sector by Bord Iascaigh Mhara.
548 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will appoint a principal officer to deal with delays in the processing of aquaculture licences; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35862/08]
The aquaculture licensing function is dealt with by the Coastal Zone Management Division of the Department which is headed by a Principal Officer.
There is a substantial backlog in licence applications at present. This is due in large measure to the fact that many of the existing licences were granted for a period of 10 years on foot of the Fisheries (Amendment) Act 1997 and are therefore falling due for renewal at present. In addition, many of the outstanding aquaculture licence applications are located in Natura 2000 sites.
My Department is working actively with the National Parks and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and the European Commission to develop a methodology acceptable to the Commission to enable these aquaculture licences to be renewed in compliance with the Habitats and Birds Directives. A sum of €1.4m has been set aside in the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Vote for 2009, to assist environmental compliance activities in relation to aquaculture and sea fishing activities in Natura 2000 sites.
Reaching early agreement with the Commission on how to enable licence renewals in Natura 2000 sites in compliance with the Birds and Habitats Directives will greatly assist reducing the backlog of aquaculture licence renewals.
The application process has become increasingly complex since the Fisheries (Amendment) Act 1997 was enacted and involves a range of intermediate measures before a recommendation and decision can be made in any one case
My Department is endeavouring as a matter of priority, to allocate on a temporary basis additional resources, to address the requirements to meet the demand which is peaking for renewal of the licences issued ten years ago.
It should be noted that licensees awaiting determinations on renewal of their licences continue to enjoy the protection of their licences until such time as determinations are made and therefore can continue to work their aquaculture sites.
549 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the reason he did not sign up to the Sarkozy document on aquaculture; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35863/08]
Ireland supports generally initiatives brought forward at EU level in relation to the development of the aquaculture sector. Each individual initiative is examined carefully and a broad view is taken on deciding our position. While we are generally supportive of many of the provisions in the French paper on aquaculture, some aspects were not in line with Ireland's policy position in relation to the sector, specifically we are not prepared to commit to state coverage for risks associated with climate, natural disasters and health issues for the sector. We consider that the industry itself must carry these risks, except in the most exceptional circumstances, which would be considered on a case by case basis.
The blueprint for the development of the Irish aquaculture sector is set out in the Cawley Report (Steering a New Course) where aquaculture is recognised as an important element in delivering a sustainable, profitable and self-reliant seafood industry. The estimates for 2009 has set aside €5 million to support aquaculture development. In addition support is provided to the sector by Bord Iascaigh Mhara.
550 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, further to Parliamentary Question No. 593 of 8 July 2008, the steps being taken to recover this funding; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35910/08]
Grant aid of €65,280 was paid to the company in question in July 2005. It is a condition of the award of this grant aid that the beneficiary must not dispose of the equipment without the written authorisation of my Department, or abandon the investment, for a period of four years from the date of payment.
The company has indicated that it will not dispose of the equipment in question and that its future use is under review. In the light of this response the Department is considering whether the grant should be recovered.
551 Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when a slatted shed grant will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35916/08]
The claim for payment lodged by the person named is being processed by my Department. I would expect that payment will be made in the near future provided that the claim is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Scheme.
552 Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the position regarding young farmers who have completed and passed the course for the grant under the farm installation aid prior to his decision to abolish the scheme; if these farmers will receive payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35926/08]
All fully completed applications made under the Young Farmers' Installation Scheme and received by my Department up to and including 14 October 2008 will be processed and if in order, payment will be made.
553 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food his plans to tackle price reductions for store lambs; his plans to intervene at the factory gate where prices have dropped; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35928/08]
My Department does not have a role in setting prices at meat processing plants. The Sheep Strategy Development Group recommended the introduction of a quality based pricing system and I understand this is currently under discussion between processor and producer representatives. Efforts to increase rewards for better quality animals include trials on mechanical grading which were facilitated by my Department. The results of these trials are being assessed at the moment.
I would hope that a transparent grid for pricing can be agreed between the processors and suppliers in the near future. Such a development would ultimately help suppliers to tailor their supply to the requirements of the marketplace and increase the returns available for better quality product.
554 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will extend the farm waste management scheme beyond its deadline in view of the inability of builders to source sheeting and other materials; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35929/08]
The deadline of 31 December 2008 for completion of work by farmers under the revised Farm Waste Management Scheme introduced by my Department in March 2006 is a condition of the EU state aid approval for the Scheme. The European Commission has since reaffirmed that it expects Ireland to respect this deadline strictly. The issue was debated in detail by the Dail last week and all farmers holding a valid scheme approval were urged to note that the deadline of 31 December 2008 will not be changed.
555 Deputy Seán Sherlock asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will investigate a situation whereby a person (details supplied) in County Cork can no longer access adult education services which their family has been informed is due to Heath Service Executive cutbacks; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35433/08]
The pupil referred to by the Deputy, in the details supplied, has been granted a school transport service for one additional year. Bus Éireann, which operates the school transport scheme on behalf of my Department, has advised that this transport commenced on 20th October 2008.
556 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Education and Science if funding will be provided for works in respect of a school (details supplied) in County Mayo. [35593/08]
586 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Education and Science if funding will be provided for vital works that are needed at a school (details supplied) in County Mayo. [35592/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 556 and 586 together.
The Modernisation and Policy Unit of my Department has no record of an application for emergency funding from the school in question. Should an application be received it will be assessed and the school authorities notified of the outcome without delay.
557 Deputy Rory O’Hanlon asked the Minister for Education and Science if new arrangements will be made for persons providing school bus services as a result of section 99 of the Finance Act 1999 ceasing on 31 October 2008; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35935/08]
622 Deputy Rory O’Hanlon asked the Minister for Education and Science if new arrangements will be made for persons providing school bus services as a result of section 99 of the Finance Act 1999 ceasing on 31 October 2008; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35936/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 557 and 622 together.
I recently indicated that the allocation for school transport in the 2009 estimates allows for a compensatory allowance to be paid to private contractors who were previously availing of a fuel rebate scheme until the end of this month.
My Department has initiated discussions with Bus Éireann, which operates the school transport scheme, regarding the nature of the arrangements to be put in place.
558 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Education and Science the amount of money spent on capital investment by his Department for each year since 1997 in each of the 26 counties. [35390/08]
Expenditure incurred by my Department is not recorded on a county by county basis and would take a disproportionate amount of official time to collate in that format.
However, the Table below outlines Total Capital Expenditure from my Department's Vote for the years in question:

559 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for Education and Science the schools in Kilkenny city and county that received developing status over the past three years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35405/08]
Data as requested by the Deputy is set out in the table in respect of the school years 2006/07, 2007/08 and 2008/09.
The mainstream staffing of a primary school is determined by reference to the enrolment of the school on 30th September of the previous school year. The actual number of mainstream posts sanctioned is determined by reference to a staffing schedule which is issued to all primary schools each year.
However, within the terms of the staffing arrangements for primary schools there is provision for additional posts, referred to as developing school posts, to be assigned to schools on the basis of projected enrolments for the next school year. Under these arrangements, a developing school post may be sanctioned provisionally where the projected enrolment at 30th September of the school year in question equals or exceeds a specified figure. If the specified figure is not achieved on 30th September, sanction for the post is withdrawn.
An independent appeal board is now in place to decide on any appeals on mainstream staffing, including developing school post, in primary schools. Details of the appeal procedure are outlined in the staffing schedule and also in Circular 0024/2007 (Appeal Board for Mainstream Staffing in Primary Schools) which is available on my Department's website.
The first meeting of the Appeal board was held in May 2008. A further meeting will be held on 28th October.
The Appeals Board operates independently of the Department and its decision is final.

560 Deputy Emmet Stagg asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will reinstate the special needs assistant hours of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare. [35423/08]
The Deputy will be aware that the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) is responsible, through its network of local Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENOs), for allocating resource teachers and special needs assistants to schools to support children with special needs. The NCSE operates within my Department's criteria in allocating such support. I have arranged for the details supplied to be forwarded to the NCSE for their attention and direct reply.
All schools have the names and contact details of their local SENO. Parents may also contact their local SENO directly to discuss their child's special educational needs, using the contact details available on www.ncse.ie.
561 Deputy Brian O’Shea asked the Minister for Education and Science the regularity with which an exception has been made to the regulations under circular 15/05 in regard to employing only teachers with recognised qualifications in primary schools; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35426/08]
Under the terms of the Education Act, 1998, the Board of Management of a primary school is responsible for the recruitment, selection and appointment of all teachers to a school. Appointments are notified to my Department by the Board of Management. My Department has no role in the selection and appointment process. There are currently 518 unqualified teachers in primary schools.
Boards of Management are obliged to recruit and employ fully qualified primary teachers for any vacancy in a school, regardless of the duration of the vacancy. Information regarding recognised qualifications can be obtained from the Primary Administration Section of my Department.
562 Deputy James Bannon asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason a person (details supplied) in County Longford has been denied a third level education grant due to the fact that they took time out to look after their father who suffered from a serious condition which left him totally incapacitated and immobile between 2005 and 2007 and to run the family farm from September 2005 to September 2008; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35437/08]
The decision on eligibility for student maintenance grants is a matter for the relevant assessing authority, either the local authority or VEC, as appropriate. These bodies do not refer individual applications to my Department, except in exceptional circumstances.
If an individual applicant considers that she/he has been unjustly refused a maintenance grant, or that the rate of maintenance grant awarded is not the correct one, she/he may appeal, in the first instance, to the relevant local authority or VEC.
Where an individual applicant has had an appeal turned down, in writing, by the relevant local authority or VEC and remains of the view that the body has not interpreted the schemes correctly in his/her case, an appeal form outlining the position may be submitted by the applicant to my Department.
563 Deputy Fergus O’Dowd asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding the timetable for the provision of permanent buildings for a school (details supplied) in County Louth; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35443/08]
It is my intention to make an announcement in the first quarter of 2009 on major primary and post-primary school projects to proceed to construction. The progression of the project referred to by the Deputy will be considered at that time.
564 Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will meet with a delegation from a school (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35447/08]
An extension and refurbishment project for the school to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of architectural planning.
The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction phase will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
In the circumstances, it is not my intention to meet with the school. My Department will, however, be in contact with the school authorities when it is in a position to progress the project further.
565 Deputy Brian Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will provide replacement funds to County Dublin VEC in order to allow four sports centres in County Dublin (details supplied) to continue to provide sports and leisure services to the local community; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35454/08]
570 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will guarantee continued funding for the sports complex at a school (details supplied) in County Dublin; when he will make a decision on such funding; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35486/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 565 and 570 together.
The halls referred to by the Deputies were built as part of a programme to develop community sports halls in drugs task force areas in Dublin and Cork. The stated objective of the programme was that each hall would be dual use in nature in that they would be accessible to the wider community as well as to the local school population. The intention was that, apart from normal school usage, the facilities would be available as much as possible to the community and, in particular, to target groups such as youth at risk.
An application was made by my Department in 2006 for dormant accounts funding to enable community usage of the halls to commence. Government approval was received in 2007 for the drawdown of funding of approximately €2.1 million in respect of six of the halls, including those referred to by the Deputies. In regard to these six halls, management structures were put in place and community groups were given access.
The position is that the allocated dormant accounts funding will provide for the operation of these halls until the end of 2008. My Department does not fund community facilities but we are in contact with other Departments with responsibilities in this area and will be in contact with the relevant stakeholders as quickly as possible.
566 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Education and Science the results of the survey carried out regarding the suitability of the current site occupied by a school (details supplied) in County Dublin for a permanent generically built two-stream school; his plans to use this site in view of the fact that it is being offered by the VEC in return for some work on its schools; if he will allow the current site to be used for a permanent school; if the planning process will begin shortly; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35455/08]
I take it that the Deputy is referring to Gaeilscoil Eiscir Riada in Lucan.
The Department is in negotiations with County Dublin Vocational Education Committee regarding the provision of a site for the school in question.
The acquisition of the site will be considered in the context of the capital budget available to my Department for school buildings generally. I am not in a position to say at this stage when the acquisition will be concluded.
567 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Education and Science his criteria for designating schools as being in developing areas; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35474/08]
As the Deputy will be aware the Programme for Government commits my Department to establishing a Developing Areas Unit to identify where new schools are needed and to ensure that these schools are delivered in the fastest possible timeframe.
The process of assessing the need for new or additional educational facilities at primary or post-primary level in any given area entails consideration of all relevant factors, including enrolment and demographic trends, housing developments and the capacity of existing schools to meet the demand for places. Liaison with existing schools is also an important part of the process. In this way, every effort is made to ensure that there is adequate existing provision and that timely arrangements are made to extend capacity or provide new infrastructure where necessary.
In addition, Local Authorities are obliged by statute to refer draft local area development plans to the Department for observation and comment so that lands can be zoned for future education use. There are numerous sites reserved for education purposes, particularly in the rapidly developing areas, under this process so as to ensure that there will be sufficient land set aside and available for the future development of education infrastructure.
Over and above the statutory consultation provisions in relation to local authority draft area development plans, my Department has in recent years worked to strengthen contacts with local authorities to enable informed decisions to be made in planning future educational provision.
My Department also makes extensive use of data from the Census of Population for a variety of purposes including long-term projections of enrolment at national and local level. The census results for 2006 are of use in identifying broad trends in total population by county and local area. My Department also uses census data when drafting its own area development plans and planning school provision for likely enrolment at local area level.
My Department is satisfied that the approach which it is now taking to the identification and delivery of extra school places in rapidly developing areas will help to ensure that those places will be provided when and where they are needed.
The specific areas which were targeted in 2008 by the Developing Areas Unit are as follows. Ashbourne, Athlone, Athy, Balbriggan, Belmayne, Carlow Town, Carrigaline, Celbridge, Doughiska, Drogheda, Duleek, Dunboyne, Dundalk, Enniscorthy, Gorey, Greystones, Kilcock, Kill, Kinnegad, Lucan, Lusk, Maynooth, Midleton, Mullingar, Naas, Newbridge, Newcastle, Phoenix Park, Portlaoise, Ratoath, Saggart, Skerries, Swords, Rochestown, Tallaght, Tramore, Trim and Tullamore.
Further areas will be identified by my Department for specific consideration in consultation with the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and the relevant Local Authorities.
568 Deputy Enda Kenny asked the Minister for Education and Science the arrangements he has made for special training for children of mild general learning disability in view of the closure of a training service (details supplied) in Dublin 20; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35478/08]
569 Deputy Enda Kenny asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the number of pupils in a school (details supplied) in Dublin 20 who require special training; the alternative facilities he proposes to provide in view of the closure of the school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35479/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 568 and 569 together.
I understand that my officials have confirmed with the Deputy's office that the service in question is located in a residential facility. My Department does not fund the service and the Deputy may wish to make contact with the Health Service Executive and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment regarding the matter.
571 Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will respond to a query regarding a person (details supplied) in Dublin 13; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35487/08]
My Department funds three means-tested maintenance grant schemes for third level education students in respect of attendance on approved courses in approved third level institutions:
(a) The Higher Education Grants Scheme
(b) The Vocational Education Committees' Scholarship Scheme
(c) The Third Level Maintenance Grants Scheme for Trainees.
The Higher Education Grants Scheme is administered by the Local Authorities. The other two schemes are administered by the Vocational Education Committees. The arrangements for the payment of maintenance grants are a matter for those bodies, in the first instance.
572 Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will support a matter (details supplied). [35514/08]
The Centre for Early Childhood Development (CECDE) was established in 2002 as part of the implementation of Ready to Learn, the White Paper on Early Childhood Education (1999). It was sanctioned initially for a 3 year period. This was extended for a further 3 years in 2005. The original remit of the Centre included the development of a Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education. This was successfully delivered in 2006 with the publication of Síolta. Since the CECDE had effectively delivered on its remit and its sanction was ending in 2008, it presented an opportune time to look at the structures that should be put in place to move to the next phase. With the cessation of the CECDE, this next phase will be led by the Office of the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs. It is envisaged that 2 CECDE staff will be contracted to work within the OMCYA structure in the area of Early Years Education Policy.
573 Deputy Emmet Stagg asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason for the delay in providing special transport for a pupil (details supplied) in County Kildare. [35517/08]
Bus Éireann, which operates the school transport scheme on behalf of my Department, has advised that transport for the pupil referred to by the Deputy, in the details supplied, commenced on 20th October 2008.
574 Deputy Catherine Byrne asked the Minister for Education and Science the status of an application for a school building project (details supplied) in Dublin 10; when building work will begin; if he will ensure this project is completed without further delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35519/08]
My Department has received an application for major capital funding from the school to which the Deputy refers. The commencement and progression of all large scale building projects from initial design stage through to construction phase, including this project, will be considered in the context of my Department's Multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of this project at this time.
575 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science if persons (details supplied) in Dublin 22 qualify for a higher education grant respectively; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35520/08]
The decision on eligibility for student grants is a matter for the relevant assessing authority — i.e. the local authority or VEC. These bodies do not refer individual applications to my Department except, in exceptional cases, where, for example, advice or instruction regarding a particular clause in the relevant scheme is required. If an individual applicant considers that she/he has been unjustly refused a maintenance grant, or that the rate of grant awarded is not the correct one, she/he may appeal, in the first instance, to the relevant local authority or VEC. Where an individual applicant has had an appeal turned down, in writing, by the assessing authority, and remains of the view that the body has not interpreted the schemes correctly in his/her case, an appeal form outlining the position may be submitted by the applicant to my Department.
576 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Education and Science the way he will incorporate the Centre for Early Childhood Development and Education, CECDE, into his Department; the sections of his Department which will cover the work which has been under the remit of CECDE; if the expertise provided by CECDE is already available within his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35524/08]
The Centre for Early Childhood Development (CECDE) was established in 2002 as part of the implementation of Ready to Learn, the White Paper on Early Childhood Education (1999). It was sanctioned initially for a 3 year period. This was extended for a further 3 years in 2005. The original remit of the Centre included the development of a Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education. This was successfully delivered in 2006 with the publication of Síolta. Since the CECDE had effectively delivered on its remit and its sanction was ending in 2008, it presented an opportune time to look at the structures that should be put in place to move to the next phase. The establishment of the Centre had predated the establishment of the Office of the Minister for Children, now the Office of the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs. This Office brings together policy makers from different Government Departments to ensure consistency in policy-making and policy implementation for children and is, I consider well placed to progress quality provision in Early Childhood Care and Education. While the CECDE will not be incorporated into my Department, it is envisaged that 2 CECDE staff will be contracted to work within the OMCYA structure in the area of Early Years Education Policy.
577 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Education and Science the annual costs incurred by his Department in the implementation of the decentralisation scheme for each of the past four years, broken down between property and non-property costs; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35552/08]
All aspects of property procurement and disposal in connection with the Decentralisation Programme is a matter for the Office of Public Works. The non-capital costs incurred by my Department to date under the Decentralisation Programme are as follows:
2005 Nil
2006 Nil
2007 Nil
2008 €191,945 non-property expenditure. (This figure includes expenditure on the fitting out of the new building in Athlone which accommodates both decentralised staff plus approximately 100 Department of Education and Science personnel who had been in temporary accommodation on the Athlone campus.) In addition, there are also other indirect costs including staff time and opportunity costs associated with the implementation of the Decentralisation Programme.
578 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Education and Science the progress made by his Department on implementing the decentralisation scheme, including the number of staff who have moved under the scheme and the property bought or rented outside Dublin under the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35567/08]
My Department has completed the process of decentralising all sections due to relocate to Athlone and to date, 88 posts have decentralised from my Department to Athlone. The main relocation of posts from Dublin to Mullingar will take place when the new office accommodation in Mullingar is ready for occupation. However in June 2008, my Department utilised existing available accommodation, in its Regional Office in Mullingar, to decentralise 7 posts from Dublin to that location. All aspects of property procurement and disposal in connection with the Decentralisation Programme is a matter for the Office of Public Works (OPW).
579 Deputy Seymour Crawford asked the Minister for Education and Science the amount of capitation grant made available to ordinary national schools, disadvantaged national schools and gaelscoileanna on a per pupil basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35583/08]
The existing standard rate of capitation grant is €178.58 per pupil. The standard rate of capitation grant is paid to all primary schools, except for Gaelscoileanna located outside of Gaeltacht areas which currently receive an additional €25.39 per pupil over and above the standard rate grant. Enhanced rates of capitation funding are paid in respect of children with special educational needs who attend special schools or special classes attached to mainstream schools. The current rates range from €457 to €880 per pupil.
The capitation grant will be increased in line with the Budget 2009 announcement which will see the standard rate of capitation grant increase by over €21 to €200 per pupil. In addition, in the order of €14 million of grant assistance will issue to some 2,570 primary schools this November in respect of the 2008/2009 school year to assist them with their respective levels of disadvantage.
580 Deputy Seymour Crawford asked the Minister for Education and Science the percentage of the school buses that are privately owned; the number of buses owned by Bus Éireann; if he is satisfied that full use is being made of the Bus Éireann buses at times other than those necessary for the transport of school children; his views on whether alternative uses such as for tours or functions could minimise the cost of the school transport system as is being done in other jurisdictions such as Canada; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35584/08]
Under the School Transport Scheme over 80% of the school buses used are privately owned, most of these being small and medium sized buses. The number of Bus Eireann school buses in use fluctuates on a monthly basis as more modern buses are introduced and others are withdrawn from service on a continual basis throughout the School Year. However, Bus Eireann use about 620 of their own buses to provide school transport each day, almost all of which are large capacity vehicles.
Currently 18 Bus Eireann school buses, and 9 privately owned school buses under contract, are also used to provide one day a week rural transport services organised by Bus Eireann in the middle of the day between class times without impinging on the school transport timetable. The cost of providing these services neither increases nor reduces the cost of school transport provided by my Department and in the same way the expanded use of school buses for this purpose would not impact on the cost of school transport provision.
581 Deputy Seymour Crawford asked the Minister for Education and Science the progress being made towards the extension and restructuring of a school (details supplied) in County Monaghan; if there is a difficulty in the transfer of deeds; if so if he will make every effort to have this dealt with quickly; when this school will be dealt with; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35585/08]
The acquisition of the site will be considered in the context of the capital budget available to my Department for school buildings generally. I am not in a position to say at this stage when the acquisition will be concluded.
582 Deputy Seymour Crawford asked the Minister for Education and Science the progress towards the restructuring of a school (details supplied) in County Monaghan; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35586/08]
The building project for the school to which the Deputy refers is currently at an early stage of architectural planning. The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction phase will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
583 Deputy Seymour Crawford asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding the application for devolved funding by a school (details supplied) in County Monaghan to replace the existing building which is overcrowded; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35587/08]
An application was submitted to the Department under the Small Schools Scheme 2007 by the school referred to by the Deputy. Due to the volume of applications received in my Department it was not possible to allocate funding to all proposed projects and the school referred to was not successful.
The main emphasis of the School Building and Modernisation programme this year is on the delivery of larger scale projects providing sufficient school places, particularly in rapidly developing areas, as well as delivering improvements in the quality of existing primary and post-primary school accommodation throughout the country.
584 Deputy Seymour Crawford asked the Minister for Education and Science the progress regarding a school (details supplied) in County Monaghan in which children and teachers have to use the N2 national primary route as part of their campus; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35588/08]
The building project for the school to which the Deputy refers is currently at an early stage of architectural planning. The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction phase will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
585 Deputy Seymour Crawford asked the Minister for Education and Science the progress towards the restructuring and extension of a school (details supplied) in County Cavan; his views on the fact that this school was built to accommodate 150 pupils and it now has 370 pupils attending; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35589/08]
The school building project referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage. Given the growth in enrolments, temporary accommodation has been provided as an interim measure to enable the school to meet the demand for pupil places.
The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction phase will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
587 Deputy Paul Connaughton asked the Minister for Education and Science if a person (details supplied) in County Galway will be afforded the same level of care when the centre they attend transfers to the ownership of his Department; if his attention has been drawn to the help that this facility was to the person and to many others; if he will guarantee that the same level of service will be available under the stewardship of his Department as had been when the centre was funded by the Department of Health and Children; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35594/08]
I assume that the Deputy is referring to the new special school that opened in September 2008 as a recognised national school. The Deputy will be aware of my Department's commitment to ensuring that all children, including those with special educational needs, can have access to an education appropriate to their needs preferably in school settings through the primary and post primary school network. This facilitates access to individualised education programmes, fully qualified professional teachers, special needs assistants and the appropriate school curriculum.
The Deputy will also be aware that the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) is responsible, through its network of local Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENOs), for allocating resource teachers and special needs assistants to schools to support children with special needs. The NCSE operates within my Department's criteria in allocating such support. All schools have the names and contact details of their local SENO. Parents may also contact their local SENO directly to discuss their child's special educational needs, using the contact details available on www.ncse.ie. The decision to sanction the application for special school status does not, in itself, have any impact on the funding provided by other State sources to a service provider.
588 Deputy Brian Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Science further to Parliamentary Question No. 376 of 14 October 2008, the cost to date to his Department in terms of all architectural structural engineering and contractual fees which have been paid in respect of each of the schools currently on the school building and modernisation programme from approval stage to the tender stage; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35599/08]
Currently there are over 360 major projects in architectural planning, the vast majority of which would have incurred design team fees to date. Fees are paid on approval of individual design stages and could occur over a number of years as a project progresses through the stages. Given the number of projects involved, it would require an inordinate amount of staff time to assemble the requested information. However, if the Deputy wishes to clarify the situation in respect of individual cases then I would be happy to provide him with the information.
589 Deputy Brian Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Science his views on correspondence received in his office from a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35601/08]
The matter raised by the person referred to, in his correspondence of the 8th October is being examined in my Department. I will arrange for a full reply to issue to him as soon as possible.
590 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for Education and Science if grant assistance is available from his Department for students attending third level education who suffer from dyslexia and who are in need of a laptop; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35614/08]
The Fund for Students with Disabilities, which is ESF-aided, was introduced in 1994. It provides funding to students with disabilities attending courses in Irish and U.K. third level institutions and, since 1998, in Post Leaving Certificate Centres. This Fund is administered by the National Office for Equity of Access to Higher Education (National Office).
The purpose of the fund is to provide students with serious physical and/or sensory disabilities with grant assistance towards the cost of special equipment, special materials and technological aids, targeted transport services, personal assistants and sign language interpreters. To be considered eligible for the fund an applicant must meet the prescribed criteria.
Applications for assistance are made by the individual students through the Disability/Access Officer of a third level Institution or by the Principal in the student's PLC College. The student, on registration for their course, should discuss their particular disability and the equipment or services required with the Disability/Access Officer or the Principal, as appropriate. Decisions on applications are taken by the National Access Office, and verified by an independent panel comprising representatives of agencies and individuals who have experience of working with people with disabilities.
591 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will meet the board of management of a school (details supplied) in Dublin 1 with a view to discussing the 25% funding which his Department agreed for the project to be completed by 2010; and the reason it is obliged to depend on the Dublin Docklands Authority to fund a substantial part of the shortfall. [35618/08]
592 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason his Department’s percentage of the €15 million due to be spent on the works agreed for a school (details supplied) in Dublin 1 is only 25%; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35619/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 591 and 592 together.
The Dublin Dockland Development Authority (DDDA) came forward with an offer to my Department to make a contribution towards the building costs of the project to which the Deputy refers. It also stipulated the value of its offer. As the project is in the early stages of architectural planning, I am not in a position to comment further on the details of the offer because to do so could potentially affect the tendering process for the project at a future stage. I can say, however, that it is inaccurate to suggest that the Department's contribution will be limited to 25%. The DDDA's offer has a ceiling and the percentage value of that will not be known until the project is actually tendered. The offer is, however, both significant and welcome.
The Department's Professional and Technical staff is currently nearing completion of its review of the Stage One submission for the project. When completed, the next step will be to discuss its findings with the Board of Management. Once this review is finalised, my officials will arrange this discussion.
593 Deputy Tom Sheahan asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will examine an appeal and allow a person (details supplied) in County Kerry to continue their education unhindered; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35620/08]
The decision on eligibility for student grants is a matter for the relevant assessing authority — i.e. the local authority or VEC. These bodies do not refer individual applications to my Department except, in exceptional cases, where, for example, advice or instruction regarding a particular clause in the relevant scheme is required. If an individual applicant considers that she/he has been unjustly refused a maintenance grant, or that the rate of grant awarded is not the correct one, she/he may appeal, in the first instance, to the relevant local authority or VEC.
Where an individual applicant has had an appeal turned down, in writing, by the assessing authority, and remains of the view that the body has not interpreted the schemes correctly in his/her case, an appeal form outlining the position may be submitted by the applicant to my Department.
594 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Education and Science the amount that was granted in pensions in each of the past five years to individuals who retired early from his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35638/08]
595 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Education and Science the amount that was spent in each of the past five years on staff who replaced those who took early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35653/08]
616 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of staff within his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reason for granting early retirement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35826/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 594, 595 and 616 together.
There is no early retirement scheme in operation for Civil Servants whereby retirees are approved for added years or enhanced pensions on retirement prior to the date of their preserved pension age, nor has there been such a scheme in the past five years. In certain circumstances the Chief Medical Officer may approve early retirement on ill health grounds, in which case the terms of the superannuation scheme for the officer in question will be applied.
Under the terms of the Department of Finance Circular 10/2005, Public Service Pension Reform: Introduction of cost neutral early retirement, public servants have the option to retire up to ten years before preserved pension age, with immediate payment of superannuation benefits, subject to actuarial reduction to take account of the early payment of the lump sum and the linger period over which the pension would be paid. There is no additional cost to the state for the operation of this scheme.
596 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Education and Science the measures or policies that have been implemented to prevent loss of private data from laptops, blackberries and other hand-held devices in his Department; if he is satisfied that all personal information held within his Department is secure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35668/08]
My Department is committed to protecting personal data and takes all reasonable steps to ensure that the data it holds is protected.
Data protection compliance is part of induction training for all new staff. In addition, 256 members of staff have completed records management training, which includes training in data protection.
A Data Protection Policy, which was approved by the Office of the Data Protection Commission is in place, this has been circulated to all staff and is available to staff for download from our intranet. In June this year, my Department published a Policy for Protection of Data while using Laptops and other Mobile Data Devices and this was circulated to all staff and is available to staff for download from our intranet.
Access to offices is restricted to staff working in the area and swipe cards are required to gain access to Department buildings. Access to sections holding sensitive information is further restricted through the use of swipe cards and digital locks.
Access to paper files is restricted to staff in the business area, segregation of duties controls are in place along with differing levels of authorisation. Files with particularly sensitive information are stored in a strong room with a digital lock.
My Department's technical network architecture is regularly reviewed in order to seek to ensure continued compliance with changing standards of best practice. Dual firewalls are in place to protect my Department's systems from unauthorised access by outside organisations/individuals. A global "strong password" policy is in place for the network. Access to systems is controlled in that staff are given access rights to systems based on their job role rather than having access to all systems holding personal data. PCs and servers are securely disposed of in accordance with the Data Protection Acts and the ISO 9001:2000 standard.
On 24th October, my Department will begin the pilot phase of a project to deploy encryption software for use on laptops and portable storage devices; this will ensure that any data which may be stored on such devices will have a reduced risk of compromise in the event of loss or theft.
My Department is currently participating on a working group which will develop guidelines (including a template code of practice) governing the treatment of sensitive and personal data by public sector organisations, including procedures for the storage, transmission, transportation, exchange and appropriate use and access of personal data (in the areas of paper records, remote access, laptops, mobile storage devices, email, data transfers). My Department will consider any changes required to existing procedures arising from the work of this group.
597 Deputy Ulick Burke asked the Minister for Education and Science whether he will issue guidelines or a circular on the process of amalgamations of primary schools; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35679/08]
In September, 2001, the Commission on School Accommodation published a Report entitled "Amalgamation of First Level Schools". This Report contains the model for the amalgamation process.
The Report is available on my Department's website www.education.ie.
598 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will confirm that his Department has received the site report and the developed sketch design for the new building at a school (details supplied) in County Cork; and the status of this development. [35681/08]
I can confirm to the Deputy that a stage 2A submission (Developed Sketch Scheme) has been received by my Department for the project to which he refers. This has been examined by my Department's professional and technical staff. On foot of this examination, further information has been sought from the Design Team to enable final approval of this stage of architectural planning.
599 Deputy Edward O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will provide the necessary funding for a national school (details supplied) in County Cork. [35714/08]
The building project for the school to which the Deputy refers is in the advanced stages of architectural planning.
The progression of all large scale building projects, including this project, from initial design stage through to construction phase will be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. However, in light of current competing demands on the capital budget of the Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of the project at this time.
600 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Education and Science the plans for a new primary school in Saggart, County Dublin; if a new building will be in place by September 2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35726/08]
I am pleased to advise the Deputy that as part of a fast-track programme, my Department is in the process of providing an 8 classroom temporary school to meet the immediate accommodation requirements in Saggart. This school will be ready for occupation in the coming weeks. The long term plan is to provide a 16 classroom school and ancillary accommodation as per Department guidelines.
My Department has acknowledged the need to relocate the existing primary school in Saggart to a green field site as the existing site cannot cater for the extra accommodation required for the school. The acquisition of a suitable site and the proposed long-term building project for the school will be considered in the context of the capital budget available to my Department for school buildings generally. In light of current competing demands on the capital budget of my Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the acquisition of the school site at this time.
601 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Education and Science the normal procedure for schools which have been approved at the design and architectural planning stage and have submitted a budget that is slightly over the allocated amount; if the school is kept on its current place on the list until the issue has been resolved, or if it is relegated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35727/08]
Where plans cost are submitted which exceed Departmental norms, it is a matter for a Design Team to make the necessary revisions to bring the cost plan into line.
At the commencement of the design process, it is made clear to Boards of Management and Design Teams that any failure to meet Departmental requirements throughout the architectural planning process can result in project delays.
Funding is not allocated to a project at the cost plan stage of architectural planning. The allocation of funding can only be considered for projects which have been approved to proceed to tender. A project cannot be considered to proceed to tender until the design process has been fully and correctly completed.
As the Deputy will be aware, the progression of all large scale capital projects from initial design stage through to the tender and construction phase is governed by the Band rating assigned to them under the published prioritisation for large scale building projects and the funding available to my Department.
602 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Education and Science if he has been presented with health and safety reports on a school (details supplied) in Dublin 20; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35728/08]
603 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason a school (details supplied) in Dublin 20 has not been given approval, despite being on the verge several times; the process in regard to decisions made to postpone sanctioning of works; the timeframe in relation to applications and correspondence received from the school regarding an extension and major refurbishment; the reasoning behind the decision to put the school’s progress to the next stage on hold; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35729/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 602 and 603 together.
The project to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of architectural planning.
Projects are allowed to proceed through the School Building and Modernisation Programme, in a manner consistent with the Band rating assigned to them under the published prioritisation for large scale building projects and when the funding is available to my Department. This is the common approach to all applications for large scale capital funding.
The project for the school in question will be considered for further progress in the context of the Multi-Annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. My Department has received correspondence regarding health and safety matters in the school. The Health and Safety Authority have written to the Chairman of the Board of Management of the school in this regard and my Department has been copied with this correspondence. As the Deputy will be aware, under Safety, Health and Welfare at work legislation, it is the responsibility of the school management authority to ensure the safety and welfare of children and others in their care.
604 Deputy John Cregan asked the Minister for Education and Science the procedure for developers and building contractors wishing to participate in the school building programme under the public private partnership; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35750/08]
My Department is responsible for all aspects of the assessment and approval of schools including the decision to procure schools via Public Private Partnership (PPP). This included the setting of project budgets, output specifications and other service requirements and agreeing the Public Sector Benchmark (compiled with the assistance of the NDFA).
Once my Department has carried out these functions, the project bundle is handed over to the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) for procurement. All Education PPP projects are offered to the market by the NDFA in accordance with EU and National procurement guidelines and are advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), Government e-tenders website and in the National Media.
It is then open to all developers and building contractors wishing to participate to submit an expression of interest to the NDFA for any particular PPP project either independently or as part of a consortium. Qualification thresholds for participation are set out in each tender competition and these may vary depending on the size and complexity of the individual project.
605 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science her views on whether pupil-teacher ratios of 20:1 or less are accepted internationally as best practice and that most of Ireland’s EU neighbours have achieved this level; the reason only 10% of primary school classes here meet this ratio; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35770/08]
606 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science his views on whether Ireland’s position as the sixth from bottom country in the OECD for pupil-teacher ratio is unacceptable; if the programme for Government’s aim of a 24:1 pupil-teacher ratio will be reached in 2008; his views on the fact that this ratio fails to meet the EU average of 20:1; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35771/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 605 and 606 together.
Significant progress has been made in the last ten years in increasing the number of teachers in our primary schools.
The number of teaching posts in primary schools in June 1997 was approximately 21,000. The number in September, 2008 is over 31,000 which is an increase of over 10,000.
The average primary class size for the 2007/08 school year was 23.9 down from 26.6 in 1996/97. The pupil teacher ratio — which includes resource teachers etc.- was 16:1 compared to 22.2 in the 1996/97 school year.
In the 2006/07 year, schools were staffed on the basis of a general rule of at least one classroom teacher for every 28 children. This represented a decrease in the overall class size by reference to the staffing schedule from 35:1 in the 1995/96 school year to 28:1 in the 2006/07 school year.
Given the current volatile and challenging economic climate, difficult choices have to be made in order to contain public sector spending. Tax revenues are down significantly and Government expenditure has to reflect this reality. These decisions included an increase in the enrolment bands of the staffing schedule for the allocation of teachers in primary schools from an average of one teacher for 27 pupils to an average of one teacher for 28 pupils. DEIS schools will continue to benefit from lower class sizes.
The most recent Irish data on class sizes shows average class sizes for 2007/08 at 23.9 pupils. The most recent published statistics for the OECD average class size is 21.5 pupils. While I recognise the importance of class sizes it must also be noted that many other issues such as the quality of our teachers impact on the standard of education in our schools. We will continue our focus on measures to improve the quality of education in our schools to ensure that the best possible outcomes for our children are achieved.
607 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the discrepancies between the ability of primary school communities in middle income areas and disadvantaged areas to raise funds voluntarily in order to ensure that the basic running costs of schools are met; if, regardless of the socio-economic profiles of primary schools, the Government has failed to provide adequate funding through the capitation grant for primary schools here and that the recent failure to increase the capitation grant in budget 2009 from €178 to €356 per pupil is further evidence of this; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35772/08]
The Education Budget for 2009 has provided for improvements to the overall level of funding for primary schools which will see funding increase from €167 million in 2008 to almost €190 million in 2009. The primary capitation grant has been improved by more than €21 to bring the rate to €200 per pupil. The ancillary services grant for primary schools will also be improved by €3.50 to €155 per pupil.
Taken together, these increases mean that primary schools eligible for the full ancillary services grant will get €355 per pupil — or almost €25 extra — in this school year to cover their day to day running costs, with a primary school of 300 pupils getting €7,475 more. In 2000, a primary school with 300 pupils was in receipt of less than €40,000 to meet its day to day running costs. That same school under these new rates will receive €106,500. This excludes the salary of teachers and Special Needs Assistants which are paid by the Department.
Furthermore enhanced rates of capitation funding are paid in respect of children with special educational needs who attend special schools or special classes attached to mainstream schools. The current rates range from €512 to €986 per pupil — an increase of 59% from the rate in 2006.
In addition, in the order of €14 million of grant assistance will issue to some 2,570 primary schools this November in respect of the 2008/2009 school year to assist them with their respective levels of disadvantage.
By any standards there have been very significant improvements within a relatively short period of time and the Government is committed to further increasing funding for schools as resources permit.
608 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the existence of a bogus university (details supplied) in Dublin 18; if, in addition to this bogus university there are at least four other similar institutions operating from the same address; the reason his Department or the Higher Education Authority have not taken legal action to close down these bodies in view of the damage they are doing to Ireland’s international educational reputation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35773/08]
The Universities Act (Section 52),1997 and the Qualifications (Education and Training) Act, 1999 prohibit the use of the terms ‘University', ‘Institute of Technology' or ‘Regional Technical College' where the organisation is also engaged in the provision of education services unless the Minister for Education consents to the use of the term. The organisations referred to by the Deputy do not use the terms ‘University', ‘Institute of Technology' or ‘Regional Technical College' in their titles.
In Ireland we have a national framework of qualifications which enables providers in public, private, workplace or community settings to offer recognised awards in further or higher education, in compliance with the processes set out by the Further Education and Training Awards Council or the Higher Education and Training Awards Council. Such providers must agree their quality assurance arrangements with the relevant awards council, and satisfy the council that the awards are of an appropriate standard, the necessary supports are in place for learners and the assessment arrangements are fair and consistent. There are also procedures under which international or professional bodies may seek to have their programmes aligned with or included in the national framework of qualifications in Ireland, if they wish to do so. My Department is also bound by the Lisbon Convention and the EU Directive on Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications to give appropriate recognition to nationally accredited awards from other jurisdictions.
In addition to this, the Department maintains an Internationalisation Register containing programmes which are approved for the purpose of access to work by students who are citizens from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland. Only programmes which have been quality assured and/or lead to recognised qualifications are included on the Register. Both the Internationalisation Register and a list of approved higher education providers are maintained on the Department's website.
The organisation referred to by the Deputy is not included on the Internationalisation Register, and does not currently offer programmes recognised by FETAC or HETAC under the national framework of qualifications.
Learners are advised to carefully review the accreditation of any intended course of study before paying fees or beginning a programme. The Government intends to take a number of steps to bring greater clarity and focus to the promotion of Irish educational programmes overseas. This will include the development and implementation of a Quality Mark for international education programmes, the award of which will be based on appropriate certification of educational programmes and implementation by institutions of a Code of Practice for the delivery of international education services.
609 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science if his Department will co-operate with the Comptroller and Auditor General in any proposed value for money review of the planning and building unit in his Department; his views on the necessity of such a review; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35774/08]
I take it that the Deputy is referring to the recent letter from Senator O'Toole to the Comptroller and Auditor General proposing a Value for Money review of the Planning and Building Unit of my Department. My Department always extends full co-operation to the Comptroller and Auditor General and his staff, who regularly carry out reviews of aspects of the operation of the of the Planning and Building Unit.
As I indicated in the Seanad debate on the matter on 8th October 2008, I do not share Senator O'Toole's view of the Planning and Building Unit of my Department and I do not accept the basic thrust of his criticisms. My Department has made substantial progress in improving school infrastructure over the last several years and I intend that this will continue in the context of the funding available under the National Development Plan.
610 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason his Department has tolerated the abuse of allowances paid to senior staff within certain third level institutions as outlined by reports 42 and 43 of the Review Body on Higher Remuneration; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35775/08]
My Department has at all times indicated to the third level institutions concerned that the levels of remuneration sanctioned for the posts in question should not, under any circumstances, be exceeded without prior approval.
Officials from my Department together with officials from the Higher Education Authority and the Department of Finance are now reviewing the position with each of the institutions concerned to ensure that the remuneration levels are in full compliance with the recommendations outlined in Reports No 42 and 43 of the Review Body on Higher Remuneration.
In addition the recommendations of the Review Body will only be approved where the Departments are satisfied that the institutions have fully complied in all respects with previous sanctions on salary levels.
611 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science the name, address and roll number of every primary school that is waiting for a visit from design or technical teams in order that its application for school improvements can be advanced; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35776/08]
612 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science the name, address and roll number of every primary school that had, in the years 2005, 2006 and 2007, a visit from a design or technical team in connection with its school improvement application; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35777/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 611 and 612 together.
As part of any application for major capital works, my Department assesses the long term projected enrolment of a school. Where a project is being considered for imminent inclusion on the School Building and Modernisation programme, a site visit is often organised in order to inform the final brief for the project and to determine the capacity of the site for the required works and the configuration which those works might take on the site.
Currently there are over 360 major projects in architectural planning. Normal procedure is to organise a site visit as part of this process. The details of these visits and the reports generated from them are held on individual project files in my Department.
In addition, there are over 1000 applications on hand in my Department for major capital works. Most of these will also require site visits at the appropriate time before they can be included in the School Building and Modernisation programme.
Given the number of projects involved it would require an inordinate amount of staff time to assemble the requested information. However, if the Deputy wishes to clarify the situation in respect of individual cases then I would be happy to provide him with the information.
613 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science the expenditure on education in 2009, arising from the budget 2009 statement; if he will provide this figure as a percentage of GDP; if he will provide the 2009 figure in a table that also outlines the spending on education as a percentage of GDP for the years 2000 to 2008; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35778/08]

614 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Education and Science the average level of absenteeism within his Department for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35796/08]
The information sought by the Deputy for the period in question is not readily available at my Department. I have requested officials at the Personnel Section of my Department to compile the information and forward it to the Deputy in due course.
615 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Education and Science the average level of staff absenteeism within each of the agencies within his Department’s remit for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35811/08]
Staffing issues, including the issue of absenteeism, are a matter for the HR function of each of the agencies under the aegis of my Department. This information is not monitored or collated centrally and is consequently not readily available.
However if the Deputy is interested in a particular agency my Department officials will be happy to arrange for the provision of this information.
617 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of staff within agencies within the remit of his Department who have availed of early retirement schemes in each of the past three years; the breakdown of such by the grade and age of the staff who availed of the schemes; the breakdown of the reasons for granting early retirement. [35841/08]
Early retirement schemes are not generally available in organisations under the aegis of my Department. However, in particular circumstances arising in two such organisations, early retirement was availed of by 7 staff over the past 3 years.
St Catherine's College of Education in Home Economics closed on 31 August 2007. The decision to close St. Catherine's was made following consideration of the future of the College arising from notification by the Trustees of the College that they were not in a position to continue their role into the future. Prior to its closure, the Department of Education and Science provided the majority of the College's funding. Early retirement was offered as part of a range of options (the others being redundancy or redeployment) that were put in place for the permanent staff of the College specifically for the closure. The terms of the early retirement scheme offered to staff were equivalent to Strand 3 early retirement for teachers. Of the total of 20 permanent staff who were still employed by the College in 2007, six individuals availed of the early retirement package. The grades of those who accepted early retirement under this scheme were President of the College (2008), 4 Lecturers (2007) and 1 Librarian (2007). The ages of the staff concerned range from 47 to 61.
In the National Educational Welfare Board (NEWB), 1 member of staff has been approved for early retirement in the past 3 years. The NEWB was established in 2002. At the time of transfer of personnel from the School Attendance Service to the Board, the Labour Court recommended that 8 places be made available for Voluntary Early Retirement (VER) for eligible personnel who did not wish to transfer to the new service and 7 applicants were approved for the scheme.
One applicant for the VER was not eligible at that time on age grounds and subsequently made an application when the age grounds were met. This application was rejected by the NEWB. However, a Labour Court Hearing upheld the application for VER in view of the one remaining position for VER which had not been utilised. The Board received sanction from the Department of Finance to implement the decision of the court, conditional on a written commitment from the Union involved that no consequential claims would be made for additional VER and that the cost would be met from within the resources of the Board. The staff member concerned retired on 5th October 2007, aged 51 years. There is no current VER scheme in operation by the NEWB.
618 Deputy Brian Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Science the level of compensation that has been granted to victims of child abuse by the Residential Institutions Redress Board to date; when it is expected the board will complete its work; the estimated amount that will be required by the board to complete its work; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35853/08]
The Redress Board's primary function is to provide financial redress to persons who, as children, were abused while resident in Industrial Schools, Reformatories or other institutions that were subject to State regulation or inspection. The closing date for receipt of applications was the 15th December 2005 by which time the Board had received 14,513 applications. The Board has received a total of 14,549 applications (including 36 late applications accepted up to 31st December 2007).
Up to 1st September 2008, 11,793 applications were processed by the Board. The overall average award from the inception of the scheme is €64,892. Awards are determined by the Board having regard to the severity of the abuse, the severity of physical and psychological injury and the loss of opportunity resulting from the abuse. The level of awards range in value from €0 to €300,000.
Expenditure associated with the Redress Board to the end of 2007 was €745,591,963. Based on the total number of applications received, the final cost of the scheme may be in the region of €1.1 billion, including legal and administration costs. Any estimate of the final cost of the Scheme at this point will be tentative as the Board has approximately 2,756 applications to process and the level of award provided in these remaining cases may vary substantially.
With approximately 2,756 cases to be processed, it is difficult to say at this point when the Board will have completed its work. However, from experience, as the Board generally clears between 200 to 220 cases per month, an estimated timeframe is 14 months or towards the end of 2009. While the processing of awards should be completed in 2009, there will be some residual work to be completed by the Board in 2010.
619 Deputy Brian Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Science the proportion of the €128 million agreed with the religious orders for residential institution compensation that has been received to date; the amount outstanding; if he will provide details of what remains to be delivered and the timescale for delivery; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35854/08]
Under the terms of the Indemnity Agreement reached with the Religious Congregations on 5 June 2002, the congregations agreed to make a contribution of €128 million towards the cost of the Redress Scheme. This sum was broken down as follows: Property Transfers, €76.68 million; Cash Contribution, €41.14 million; and Provision of Counselling Services, €10 million. In actual terms, whilst the overall figure of €128 million has not altered, the form in which it has or is to be transferred to the State has altered somewhat in terms of the property and cash contributions. The alterations to the agreed amounts have occurred where the State agreed to accept and has since received cash in lieu of properties to the value of €10.76 million. Hence, the breakdown of the practical implications of the Indemnity Agreement is as follows: Property Transfers, €66.1 million; Cash Contribution, €51.9 million; and Provision of Counselling Services, €10 million. I can confirm that the full cash contribution of €51.9 million has been received, including that which was accepted in lieu of properties. My Department has also received confirmation that the contributing congregations have provided counselling services to the value of €10 million.
As a result of the Indemnity Agreement, my Department agreed in principle with CORI that a total of 64 properties would be accepted, subject to good and marketable title and agreed valuations, towards meeting the €66.1 million target. Valuations of the individual properties are fully agreed and are fixed at 2002 values. In relation to the properties transferring under the terms of the Indemnity Agreement, whilst a certain number have been fully accepted under the terms of the Indemnity Agreement, my Department continues to liaise with the Chief State Solicitor's Office in securing the transfer of the remaining properties. It should also be noted that whilst the legal transfers of a number of properties have not been finalised, the properties are in the possession of and being utilised by the recipients. It is difficult to give any estimate of when the transfer of all 64 properties will be finalised as each transaction brings its own set of issues and, the transfer of property, by its very nature, is a complex and time-consuming process. I assure the Deputy that officials in my Department are continuously working towards a full realisation of the terms of the Indemnity Agreement.
620 Deputy Ruairí Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science the reason school transport scheme discriminates between the Luas light-rail service and other public transport companies under the management of CIÉ in terms of permitting children to get subsidised transport when travelling to and from school; his views on the fact that a large number of children travel to school every day by the Luas and that their parents have to pay sums of money to do so; the steps being taken to resolve this situation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35856/08]
Eligible pupils may avail of school transport services, subject to certain criteria, under the terms of my Department's Primary or Post Primary School Transport Schemes which are operated on behalf of the Department by Bus Éireann. Bus Éireann has advised my Department that pupils, where eligible, residing in the Dublin area served by the Luas are adequately catered for by scheduled bus and DART services and, thus, Luas is not included in the current arrangements. My Department is asking Bus Éireann to review this arrangement.
621 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of male secondary school teachers who teach foreign language subjects in all-male secondary schools; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35930/08]
Teacher allocations to all second level schools are approved annually by my Department in accordance with established rules based on recognised pupil enrolment. In accordance with the rules, each school management authority is required to organise its subject options within the limit of its approved teacher allocation. It is a matter for the school to employ teachers up to the limit of its approved allocation and at its discretion to deploy those teachers to the subject areas that the school chooses to provide. The information requested by the Deputy in relation to the number of male secondary school teachers who teach foreign language subjects in all-male secondary schools is not readily available within my Department.
623 Deputy Brian Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of primary schools in County Carlow that are in receipt of a service from the National Educational Psychological Service; the number of schools that are covered by the scheme for commissioning assessments; the number of assessments commissioned by each school in the county under the scheme for commissioning assessments in 2006 and 2007; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36040/08]
624 Deputy Brian Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of primary schools in County Cavan that are in receipt of a service from the National Educational Psychological Service; the number of schools that are covered by the scheme for commissioning assessments; the number of assessments commissioned by each school in the county under the scheme for commissioning assessments in 2006 and 2007; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36041/08]

[36047/08]
631 Deputy Brian Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of primary schools in County Kildare that are in receipt of a service from the National Educational Psychological Service; the number of schools that are covered by the scheme for commissioning assessments; the number of assessments commissioned by each school in the county under the scheme for commissioning assessments in 2006 and 2007; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

[36065/08]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 623 to 648, inclusive, together.
The Deputy will be aware that all primary and post-primary schools have access to psychological assessments, directly through my Department's National Educational Psychological Service (NEPS) or through the Scheme for Commissioning Psychological Assessments, which is administered and paid for by NEPS. For the Deputy's information, the first table that follows this reply sets out the number of primary schools, by county, to which a NEPS psychologist was assigned, or which had access to the Scheme for Commissioning Psychological Assessments, in the past academic year. Since the beginning of June, and predominantly since 1 September 2008, some 21 psychologists have been appointed to the NEPS service. Each has been appointed to a specific NEPS office and will, following the requisite period of induction and work-shadowing, be assigned a full complement of schools. It is intended that NEPS will assess the effect of the assignment of these new staff, in the context of national coverage, at the end of the first term of 2008-09, at which time an up-to-date county by county breakdown will be forwarded to the Deputy. The second table that follows this reply also contains a breakdown of the number of assessments commissioned by primary schools under the Scheme for Commissioning Psychological Assessments in each county for 2006 and 2007.

649 Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Education and Science the cost to his Department each year for the past five years respectively, or since the date of their establishment of the Educational Disadvantage Committee, the National Adult Learning Council and the Centre for Early Childhood Development and Education; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36076/08]

650 Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Education and Science the location and breakdown of the 2,600 primary and post-primary places which he will deliver in developing areas under the fasttrack programme for September 2009 as outlined in his Dáil Éireann speech of 15 October 2008; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36077/08]
My Department is currently examining a number of possible projects for inclusion on its fast track programme for 2009. However, a number of issues need to be resolved before any formal decision can be made on particular projects. These include issues such as the finalisation of accommodation briefs, sight investigations, topographical surveys and planning permissions. The projects currently under consideration are in the following regions; the greater Dublin area, the south east and south. It is my intention to make an announcement in the first quarter of 2009 on major primary and post-primary school projects to proceed to construction.
651 Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Education and Science the four primary schools due to commence construction before the end of 2008 with reference to his Department’s public private partnership programme; the location of the six schools in the second bundle where procurement has commenced; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36078/08]
The four post primary schools which form the First Bundle of public private partnership, PPP, schools and are due to commence construction later this year are Banagher College/Coláiste Na Sionna, Banagher and Gallen Community School, Ferbane, both Co. Offaly, and Scoil Chríost Rí, and St. Mary's CBS, both in Portlaoise, Co. Laois. The Second Bundle of PPP Schools' consists of five post-primary schools and one primary school. The five post-primary schools are: Bantry Community College, Co. Cork, Kildare Town Community School, Co. Kildare, Abbeyfeale Community College, Co. Limerick, Athboy Community School, Co. Meath and Wicklow Town Community College and the primary school is Gaelscoil Bheanntrai, Co. Cork.
652 Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Education and Science the 26 major projects that will he completed and the 62 other major projects which will commence construction with reference to the 2009 capital allocation for schools; the further 100 smaller projects on site which will be completed and the other 80 projects previously approved which will be allowed to progress to completion as outlined in his speech to Dáil on 15 October 2008; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36079/08]
The information requested by the Deputy is contained in the following tables. I have not however provided details on the major projects which will commence construction in 2009. As I have already said, it is my intention to make a further announcement in the first quarter of 2009 on major primary and post-primary school projects to proceed to construction.
