Vol. 740 No. 3
65 Deputy Derek Keating asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the requirement to register as a charity; the checks and balances in place to ensure that no fraud takes place by charities; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24615/11]
Irish charities may take a number of legal forms. For example, some charities are companies limited by guarantee while other charities are trusts. They are, therefore, governed by the relevant legislative or other provisions governing such entities. Incorporated charities, for example, are subject to the provisions of company law and are generally required to provide information to the Companies Registration Office under the Companies Acts, which can be accessed by the public. Such charities would also be subject to scrutiny by the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement. Charities that take the form of a trust are subject to the provisions of trust law. And, of course, any business entity is subject to general criminal and fraud legislation.
In addition, many Irish charities, approximately 8,000, have been approved by the Revenue Commissioners for charitable tax exemptions under the Taxes Consolidation Act(s). A list of these "Approved Bodies" is available to the public on www.revenue.ie. The Revenue Commissioners have a wide range of powers, and these are mainly contained in sections 899 to 912 of the Taxes Consolidation Act, including powers to request information and to carry out inspections in relation to any tax matter.
The Deputy may be aware that the Charities Act 2009 provides for an integrated system of mandatory registration and proportionate regulation and supervision of the charities sector in Ireland. The various sections of the Charities Act are subject to implementation through commencement orders. A number of sections of the Act have already been commenced. Those sections providing for mandatory registration have not yet been commenced.
The Deputy may also be aware that responsibility for the Charities Act transferred to my Department in May 2011. Full implementation of the Act on a statutory basis, which would require the establishment of a new regulatory authority, would of course have new cost implications for the Exchequer. This is a matter which I am considering in the context of the review of expenditure currently being undertaken in my Department and, indeed, in all Government Departments and Agencies.
66 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if his attention has been drawn to the growing and on-going public concern arising from increasing levels of anti-social behaviour in many areas throughout the country culminating in some instances of families being forced to leave their homes; if action can be taken to curtail this menace which is of increasing concern to older persons and parents of young children; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24749/11]
I am very aware of the distress that anti-social behaviour and low level crime can cause to communities.
There are strong legislative provisions in place to combat anti-social behaviour in communities. These include provisions to deal with alcohol abuse, its effect on public order and late night street violence.
In its Policing Plan for 2011, An Garda Síochána has prioritised actions to achieve the maximum levels of safety for local communities and to provide a community policing service which meets the demands of the public. The Plan identifies a range of strategies which may be deployed to counter anti-social activities, including targeted operations; high visibility patrols; deployment of appropriate resources to identified public order hotspots in respect of alcohol and drug related behaviour and youth crime; and the full utilisation of existing legislation.
Any instances of families being forced to leave their homes would be taken extremely seriously by An Garda Síochána, and such serious criminal behaviour will be tackled resolutely.
The Programme for Government includes a commitment to attach a higher priority to community policing and that, within available resources, there is a higher Garda visibility in the local neighbourhoods worst affected. An Garda Síochána operates a new model of Community Policing which aims at building upon and enhancing good community policing practice. Clear objectives are set, such as high visibility in the community, ease of contact by members of the public and enhanced support for crime prevention strategies such as Neighbourhood Watch and Community Alert.
One of the key actions in the Garda Policing Plan is an improved understanding of and responsiveness to community needs. Gardaí play an essential role in the operation of Joint Policing Committees and other local fora, which provide important channels for engagement between the An Garda Síochána, local authorities and community representatives. In this way there is clearer communication about local concerns and Garda strategies employed to address them. This Government is committed to building on such existing partnerships and fora, and my Department has commenced work, with An Garda Síochána and the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, on bringing this about.
67 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 587 of 12 January 2011, the progress to date on the provision of information to parents; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24437/11]
The Deputy's question concerns the disclosure, to parents, of information relating to persons on the sex offenders' register.
In exceptional circumstances, the provision of appropriate information to the public is already possible. This includes the disclosure of such information to parents. Currently, this is done on an administrative basis but, subject to Government approval, I intend to put these arrangements on a statutory footing.
Our primary objective has to be to minimise the risk posed to the public. The High Level Group which produced and published a discussion document on sex offenders was of the view that, if the Gardaí have reason to believe a particular high risk convicted sex offender poses a real and immediate danger, they should be free to tell individuals who need to know. Disclosure in such circumstances is perfectly reasonable.
However, giving the general public unrestricted access to names and addresses on the sex offenders' register would be likely to be counter-productive. That kind of access would drive offenders underground and make it more difficult to monitor and supervise them. This was the universal view of those who responded to the discussion document and participated in the public forum on the management of sex offenders.
General access to the register would also raise issues concerning the rights of persons who have completed their sentences and pose no future threat to society.
My Department has been conducting a wide-ranging examination of the law on sexual offences. Arising from this review, legislative proposals, including amendments to the Sex Offenders Act 2001 to provide a statutory basis for necessary disclosure, are at an advanced stage of preparation. The review is close to completion and I expect to bring legislative proposals to Government in the coming months.
68 Deputy Michael Colreavy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress of the group assessing the State’s responsibilities regarding the victims of the Magdalene laundries; when he expects receipt of the interim report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24739/11]
I can advise the Deputy that the inter-departmental committee is charged with establishing the facts of the State's involvement, clarifying any State interaction with the Magdalen Laundries, and with producing a narrative detailing such interaction.
As the working arrangements of the committee are a matter for its chairperson, Senator Martin McAleese, and he is independent in this matter, I am not in a position to report on what progress is being made. I am aware however that they have held meetings with the religious congregations, representative groups of the women who resided there, and other interested parties. I understand that an interim report will be provided before the end of October.
69 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will provide an update on the progress and a timeline for the report of the group within his Department that are looking into the cash for gold industry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24738/11]
My Department is currently finalising a report on the "Cash for Gold" trade and I can inform the Deputy that this report will be submitted to me shortly for consideration. Following consideration of the report I will make an assessment as to what, if any, action, legislative or otherwise, may be required. I will, in due course, make known the report's findings and any proposals which may arise.
My Department, in compiling the report, has been in close contact with the Commissioner of An Garda Síochána with a view to monitoring the position. I can inform the Deputy that the Commissioner has reported that all "Cash for Gold" premises in the State have been visited by An Garda Síochána and the operators of such premises have been made aware of their responsibilities and obligations with regard to purchasing gold and jewellery. In addition, I have been informed that contact information has been provided to "Cash for Gold" operators by An Garda Síochána which will facilitate the reporting of any suspicious activity. The Commissioner has also indicated that any new "Cash for Gold" premises that may be identified will be visited by An Garda Síochána.
70 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice and Equality his plans to expand the number of community restorative projects in the State and to incorporate these into the justice system as is the situation in the Six Counties. [24745/11]
The system of restorative justice in this jurisdiction is already part and parcel of the justice system. In the case of juveniles, restorative justice was introduced on a statutory basis for the first time in the Children Act 2001. There are two restorative justice initiatives provided for in the Act: A restorative conference or restorative caution included in the Garda Diversion Programme and a court-ordered restorative justice family conference delivered through the Probation Service.
The Programme for Government gives a commitment to tackle youth crime on a number of different fronts including giving a special emphasis to alternative programmes for young offenders through extensions to the Juvenile Liaison Officer Scheme and the Diversion Programme and the extended use of Restorative Justice. I wish to inform the Deputy that I will continue to maintain responsibility for the diversion and community aspects of the work of the Irish Youth Justice Service (IYJS), while my colleague the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs will take responsibility for the rest of IYJS, including the Children Detention Schools in Oberstown. I will be consulting closely with my Ministerial colleague and with the Garda Commissioner in the continuing development of programmes to tackle youth crime.
As regards adult offenders, the Probation Service has introduced a pilot scheme to test a range of restorative interventions based on the recommendations contained in the report of the National Commission on Restorative Justice. This will enable my Department to evaluate what role such interventions as recommended in the report might play having regard to overall effectiveness, potential and value for money considerations. The scheme involves an expansion of the two existing adult projects which operate in Tallaght and Nenagh. The Probation Service will monitor the implementation of the scheme and provide a report on its effectiveness after a 12 month operational period. I look forward to reviewing their report in due course.
71 Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will provide an update on the proposed civilianisation policy being discussed between himself and the Garda Commissioner; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24737/11]
There are currently around 2,100 full-time-equivalent civilian support staff in the Garda Síochána.
These staff provide vital support services in a wide range of areas, such as human resources, training & development, IT and telecommunications, finance and procurement, internal audit, research and analysis, accommodation and fleet management, scene-of-crime support and medical services.
However, while the current number of civilian support staff is an increase on previous years, more needs to be done. The fact is that the level of civilian support staff in the Garda Síochána is still significantly lower than in many comparable police forces.
That is why the Programme for Government commits to ensuring that administrative duties are carried out by civilian staff in order to free up highly trained Gardaí for preventing and detecting crime. It makes no sense to have highly — and expensively — trained Gardaí engaged in administrative work. The Government's objective is supported by the findings and recommendations of the 2009 Garda Inspectorate report on Resource Allocation, which called for the numbers of Gardaí available for operational duty to be maximised through a structured programme of civilianisation.
It is also worth saying that the Garda Commissioner and Garda management very much recognise the contribution made by civilian support staff both in releasing Gardaí for operational duties and in bringing skills and expertise into the Force. Of course, in seeking to increase the number of civilian support staff, we must face the reality of the need to reduce overall numbers in the public service. The answer may lie in the more effective use of resources across the public service, including in particular more flexibility in redeployment of staff to priority areas. Indeed, the Garda reform agenda under the Croke Park Agreement contains a specific commitment, agreed by Garda management and the Garda Associations, to augment civilian support staff in the Force through appropriate redeployment of staff from elsewhere in the public service.
I will remain in ongoing consultation with my colleague the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform on the implementation of this Government commitment.
72 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the extent to which the full requirements of backup facilities are available to the Garda to combat the drug problem; if the Minister is satisfied that such requirements are adequately met; if he proposes any enhancement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24750/11]
I understand the Deputy's question to relate to the Garda resources that are made available to the combatting of drug misuse.
The Garda Síochána Policing Plan, 2011 sets out the commitment of An Garda Síochána to pro-actively target groups and individuals engaged in organised criminal activities including drug trafficking.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that a multi-agency approach has been, and continues to be used, whereby National Units from National Support Service work together to combat serious crime, including those involved in the trafficking, importation, sale and supply of illegal drugs.
These Units such as the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the Criminal Assets Bureau, the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation and the Garda Technical Bureau are also supported by the Security and Intelligence Section who assist with intelligence briefings and timely information.
In addition, An Garda Síochána continue to develop and implement operations and strategies aimed at targeting, dismantling and disrupting criminal networks.
This integrated approach adopts best practice in implementing a co-ordinated use of Garda resources as well as using all available criminal legislation to its fullest extent. Operations in this area continue to be reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure their effectiveness.
The allocation of resources is monitored by Local Garda Management in the context of crime trends, policing needs and other operational strategies in place at District, Divisional and Regional level, to ensure optimum use is made of Garda resources.
I am informed that Senior Garda Management is satisfied that a full and comprehensive policing service continues to be delivered and that current structures in place meet the requirement to deliver an effective and efficient policing service to the community.
It is also worth noting that the National Drug Strategy, of which the work of An Garda Síochána is a key element, provides an overarching national response to the drug problem. The National Drug Strategy, to which significant resources continue to be allocated, puts in place a co-ordinated and integrated approach tackling the issue under pillar headings of drugs supply reduction, education and prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and research.
I can assure the Deputy that the allocation of resources in tackling drug misuse is kept under ongoing review having regard to the priority that has been afforded to the problem through the National Drug Strategy and the policing priorities of An Garda Síóchána.
73 Deputy Derek Keating asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of Judges who have been appointed to regions of more than 20 kilometres from their homes; the cost of their travel, subsistence, their allowances and expenses in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24436/11]
I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 386 on 28 June, 2011 and for his convenience I have again set out below the information requested. As the Deputy will appreciate court districts and circuits have more than one court venue and judges are required to travel between venues. During 2010, the latest year for which figures are available, there were 17 District judges and 13 Circuit Court judges assigned to districts or circuits the border of which is more than 20 km from their home. Details of payments made are set out overleaf.

Judges also receive an annual expense allowance to cover the provision of a study and suitable library facilities when required to work at home, e.g. dealing with urgent applications in the case of the District Court or in the Higher Courts for the research and formulation of judgments. Unlike the allowances above, the annual expense allowance is paid from central funds directly through judges' remuneration. The current rates payable are:
President of the Circuit Court— €9,057.96
President of the District Court— €9,057.96
Circuit Court Judge— €2,730.02
District Court Judge— €1,365.01
I should add there is a commitment in the Programme for Government to provide a modern reformed framework for judicial expenses. My Department will be undertaking the necessary detailed work in this regard in conjunction with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
74 Deputy Michael Colreavy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality his plans to ensure the rollout across the State of the undertakings in relation to the interaction between members of An Garda Síochána and victims of crime contained in the Victims Charter and guide to the Criminal Justice System, which was launched in July 2010; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24740/11]
Shortly after I was appointed Minister I told the Victims of Crime Consultative Forum that I wanted to see the Victims Charter implemented in full by all bodies contributing to the charter. The current edition of the Charter, which was published in July 2010, has been certified as being written in plain English to increase its accessibility. It is available online in Irish and six other languages. In the Charter, An Garda Síochána commits itself to the provision of information and a range of other supports to victims of crime.
In determining policing priorities for An Garda Síochána, the then Minister included support, protection and information for victims of crime as one of seven priorities for 2011.
An Garda Síochána has shown its commitment to implementing the Charter in a number of ways. I understand that Members of An Garda Síochána are trained to be courteous, helpful, respectful and professional. In circumstances where a victim is upset about a crime or other traumatic incident, members will respond in a caring and sensitive manner. When a victim reports a crime, An Garda Síochána is tasked with investigating the circumstances and gathering all of the evidence surrounding the incident in a fair, honest and impartial manner to bring those responsible to justice.
An Garda Síochána is of that view that the welfare and support of victims are central to the partnership between An Garda Síochána and community groups, statutory agencies and voluntary organisations.
I understand that in recognition of the special relationship that exists between victims of crime and An Garda Síochána, the Garda Victims Liaison Office was established to liaise with government funded victim support organisations, to formulate Garda policy and to support the implementation of the Garda Síochána Victims Charter.
I have been informed that in furtherance of the partnership with victims organisations, An Garda Síochána has hosted three National Victims Support Fora at Garda Headquarters at which the Commission for the Support of Victims of Crime and victims organisations were advised of the initiatives and improvements in Garda services to victims of crime. The latest of these meetings took place earlier this month, with earlier meetings in March and November, 2010.
I understand An Garda Síochána was also represented at senior level at the meeting of the Victims of Crime Consultative Forum, to discuss implementation of the Victims Charter with victims group. That meeting of the Consultative Forum, which took place in September, 2010, had a single theme: "Making the Victims Charter Work". It was organised by the Commission for the Support of Victims of Crime, an independent group operating under the aegis of my Department.
I understand that as part of the response capability of An Garda Síochána to deal with victims of serious crime, members of An Garda Síochána have been selected to undergo training as specialist interviewers of victims of sexual crime, crimes of violence or trafficking, who are under 14 years of age and persons with intellectual disabilities who are victims of those crimes. A number of dedicated interview suites designed to provide appropriate facilities for interviewing these victims are in operation at strategic locations throughout the country. The interview suites have the capacity to video-record witness statements in line with the provisions of section 16(1)(b) of the Criminal Evidence Act, 1992. This video evidence may be submitted to court when a trial occurs.
I am informed that posters and booklets of the Garda Síochána Victims Charter were designed, published and distributed to Garda Stations. This increased the awareness amongst members of the force of the Victims Charter and Garda responsibilities contained therein.
I understand that a working group was established at Garda Headquarters to oversee the standardising of the provision of relevant, timely information to Victims of Crime.
I am informed that the PULSE Garda computer system provides information letters for issue to victims of crime. In addition, PULSE now generates management reports on the number of automated PULSE generated letters. This has assisted local Garda managers identify gaps and has led to significant improvement in the number of PULSE letters issued to victims of crime.
I understand that specialised training, including for Family and Ethnic Liaison Officers, ensures vulnerable witnesses and victims of crime continue to receive a professional, empathetic response from An Garda Síochána.
75 Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if his attention has been drawn to the controversy surrounding the death of a person (details supplied) in County Offaly; if he will set up an inquiry into this person’s deal and the Garda handling of the case and their conduct in dealing with the family of the deceased; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24434/11]
I am aware that family members of the deceased person referred to by the Deputy have made a number of complaints regarding the Garda investigation of that person's death.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the original Garda investigation in 2002 concluded that foul play was not suspected and the jury at the inquest held in 2004 found in accordance with the medical evidence.
I am further informed that following contacts with the family a Superintendent from outside the District where the death took place was appointed in 2006 to re-examine the investigation into the incident. An investigation file was submitted to the Law Officers who directed no action against any third party. During the course of the examination, certain shortcomings were identified and, while they did not affect the outcome of the original investigation, steps were taken to rectify these issues and ensure adherence to best practice in the future.
In the circumstances I have not been made aware of any grounds which would warrant further action on my part.
76 Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if the free legal aid board is availing of the national internship scheme; if so are experienced solicitors rather than newly qualified persons being recruited; the role they will play; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24616/11]
The Legal Aid Board is a statutory, independent body in accordance with the Civil Legal Aid Act, 1995. The matters raised by the Deputy are a matter for the Board. However, in order to be helpful to the Deputy I have had enquiries made with the Board.
The new FÁS "Jobbridge" scheme is an important element of the Government's jobs initiative that is designed to facilitate the provision of work experience and training opportunities for the unemployed. I can confirm that the Legal Aid Board is actively participating in the scheme and this is a development that I very much welcome. The Board will be offering internships to qualified solicitors so that they can gain practical experience in the areas of civil law in which the organisation provides services. I have every confidence that solicitors obtaining internships with the Board will receive very valuable work experience and training that will help them on the road towards paid employment, notwithstanding the difficult labour market conditions for legal practitioners that currently prevail. I also anticipate that the interns will make an important contribution to the work of the Board during their time with the organisation.
The locations in which the Board initially offered internships had regard to both the current work demands of the organisation and the capacity of the law centres involved to provide the necessary support and development to Interns during their placements. The locations initially advertised under the scheme were, Newbridge, Ennis, Cavan, Cork (2 placements), Nenagh plus 6 internships in various locations in Dublin.
Since advertising with FÁS the Board has received 28 applications from eligible candidates and all of these candidates have since been offered interviews. The Board has already placed an Intern in Tallaght Law Centre and is currently in the process of offering further placements in the locations above. To date 6 additional applicants have been offered and have accepted Internships and will be commencing in the coming weeks. The Board also intends to offer some additional placements in the next few days and has recently asked FÁS to extend the scheme to all of its law centres. This will ensure that the Board has the maximum flexibility in offering further internships.
I have been advised by the Board that the applicants, to date, have a mix of experience and not all are newly qualified solicitors. However, most of the applicants have limited experience of family law which is the Board's main area of work. For this reason, the Board is currently putting in place arrangements to ensure that interns are supported and trained in family law and other civil law areas. I have every confidence in the Board's capacity to manage this process well and to ensure that each intern gets a meaningful role within the organisation which is both challenging and stimulating. I am also convinced that the valuable experience gained by the interns will stand to them in their future careers as legal practitioners and will, in the short-term, improve their employability in what is currently a very difficult labour market.
77 Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will provide an update on the review of joint policing committees; his plans to expand the functions and powers of these committees; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24735/11]
The functions and powers of Joint Policing Committees (JPCs) are set out in the Garda Síochána Act 2005, which provides for a Committee in each local authority area. They provide the framework for a partnership process involving An Garda Síochána and elected members and officials of the local authority, which are the two organisations which make the most significant contribution to preventing crime in an area, with the participation of members of the Oireachtas and of the community and voluntary sector. The Act provides that JPCs operate under guidelines issued by the Minister for Justice and Equality after consultation with the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government. The Garda Commissioner has appointed Garda representatives to each of the JPCs in accordance with the guidelines.
Members of the public and community representatives and groups can interact with their JPC by communicating with the Committee directly or by communicating with any member of the Committee, including the appointed Garda representatives. All JPC meetings are as a rule open to the public, and all documents are available. Any person may submit questions in writing in advance of each JPC meeting. Each Committee is also required to hold regular public meetings, at which those attending have the right to make their views known and ask questions in accordance with the guidelines. These committees can also establish fora in areas to bring about greater focus on finding solutions to specific issues thus facilitating greater community interaction and participation with the Gardaí and other committee members. Such fora are being established in the 14 Local Drugs Task Force areas.
The Programme for Government makes a commitment to build on existing community policing partnerships and forums to enhance trust between local communities and their Gardaí. Accordingly, my Department has commenced a review of how the Committees have operated since their establishment, in conjunction with An Garda Síochána, the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and the local authorities. The review is taking place in the context of the commitments in the Programme for Government to reform local government, work on which is being led by my colleague the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government.
In addition, my Department has been engaged in a major consultative exercise leading to the production of a White Paper on crime. One of the issues addressed in this exercise has been the role of the JPCs. The White Paper will set out a policy framework for future strategies to combat and prevent crime. The intention is that this process will lead ultimately to a national anti-crime strategy, in which the JPCs will have a role to play.
78 Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of vetting applications received by the Garda Central Vetting Unit in each month of 2010 and to date in 2011; the number which were processed each month and the average time taken for an application to be processed; the number of complaints received from persons vetted who dispute the contents of the vetting report; the procedure which is followed once such a complaint is received; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24748/11]
The information the Deputy seeks has been provided by the Garda authorities and is set out in the following table.

I am informed by the Garda Authorities that the average processing time for vetting applications received at the Garda Central Vetting Unit (GCVU) is approximately 10 weeks.
I should mention that, in processing an individual vetting application, additional time may be required in cases where clarification is needed as to the details provided or where other enquiries need to be made, for example, when the person in question has lived and worked abroad. It should be understood that while the Gardaí make every effort to reduce the time to the minimum possible consistent with carrying out what are very necessary checks, there will always be a reasonably significant period required to process a vetting application and registered organisations have been advised to take account of this in their recruitment and selection processes.
In addition, the average processing time for vetting applications also fluctuates in line with periods of increased demand.
I am informed by the Garda Authorities that there is a dispute resolution procedure established with each organisation registered by the GCVU to facilitate any vetting subject who may wish to dispute the details contained in a Garda vetting disclosure issued in respect of them. Within this procedure, there were 335 dispute complaints received in 2010 and, to date, in 2011, there have been 283 such complaints.
79 Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of gardaí who have completed the competency based driving assessments at each level respectively to date; the way in which restrictions applying to competency based driving level 1 impacts on the use of emergency lights, sirens and speed limits whilst on patrol; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24747/11]
An Garda Síochána has implemented a comprehensive review of its driver training programmes. This has resulted in a five (5) level suite of Competency Based Driving (CBD) courses, with each level specifically catering for the required knowledge base, skills set and the operational requirements of members undergoing the relevant training. In reverse order, the courses and course content are as follows:
|
CBD Level |
Course |
Competencies |
|
CBD 5 |
Garda Driving Instructors |
All competencies necessary to deliver driving instruction in all aspects of operational driving requirements, to members of An Garda Síochána. |
|
CBD 4 |
Advanced Driving Course |
Establishment of highest level of knowledge of Roadcraft and practical driving instruction in all competencies necessary to drive high power cars, to the highest standards, including emergency response, vehicle stopping using full driver commentary. |
|
CBD 3 |
Specialist Unit Driving Course(R.S.U, E.R.U, Ministerial Pool, Traffic Unit etc) |
Reinforcement of knowledge of Roadcraft and practical driving instruction in competencies necessary to drive vehicles and carry out all driving tasks, including emergency response and vehicle stopping, relevant to the roles of specific and specialist units. |
|
CBD 2 |
Standard Response Course |
Delivered to the vast majority of front line Gardaí, enabling them to drive the majority of patrol cars and patrol/public order vans available to them. It establishes an underpinning knowledge of Roadcraft, and practical instruction in vehicle handling, defensive driving, emergency response driving, and vehicle stopping. |
|
CBD 1 |
Assessment |
Driving assessment delivered primarily to non front line members of the Force, and to members not yet selected to undergo full training at CBD 2. |
Not to Exceed Speed Limits whilst on patrol
Not to contravene traffic regulations
Not to use emergency lights or sirens whilst the vehicle is in motion (Use of emergency lights, not sirens, is permitted when stationary for safety reasons)
Limitation to drive official cars with a power to weight ratio of up to and including 80kW/tonne.
Prior to the introduction of this new system, Standard and Advanced driving courses were provided to significant numbers of gardaí throughout the country. Since its introduction in 2008, Competency Based Driver training has been delivered as follows:
CBD5 — 23 trained
CBD4 — 28 trained
CBD3 — 169 trained
CBD2 — 399 trained
CBD1 — 243 assessed
80 Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if there have been arrests, criminal charges or convictions against employees of a company (details supplied) or security personnel employed by the company during the protest actions in the north Mayo area connected with Corrib gas project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24742/11]
I am informed by the Garda Authorities that twenty six complaints were made since the commencement of works in 2005 to An Garda Síochána in relation to personnel employed by the company referred to by the Deputy or employees of companies contracted by that company. These complaints relate to alleged assaults and alleged breaches of the Road Traffic Acts and the Private Security Services Act. To date, there have been no arrests made against such persons.
Every complaint to the Gardaí is the subject of a thorough investigation. Investigations against employees of the company or employees of its contractors have resulted in files for directions being submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions in six cases. In one of these cases the DPP directed a prosecution. The case was subsequently dismissed by the District Court. Files are being prepared in relation to three cases at present and investigations are still ongoing in two further cases.
81 Deputy Jonathan O’Brien asked the Minister for Justice and Equality his plans to widen the consultation process concerning the merger of the Equality Authority and the Irish Human Rights Commission, beyond the current boards of both bodies to allow wider civil society stakeholder groups to contribute their views to this process; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24734/11]
403 Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the way the new entity that emerges as a result of the merging of the Equality Authority and the Irish Human Rights Commission will be funded; if decisions have been made on the level of funding; if not, when this decision will be taken; the timeline for the completion of the merger; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24966/11]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 81 and 403 together.
Following the decision in principle by Government to merge the Human Rights Commission and the Equality Authority into a new Human Rights and Equality Commission in order to enhance the protection of human rights and the promotion of equality, I intend to appoint a small working group to advise me on how best the decision can be implemented.
The working group will be drawn from members of the Commission, the Authority and my Department's staff.
The process will also be informed by recent studies of the equality and human rights bodies commissioned by my Department, in which a broad range of stakeholder groups were consulted.
I intend that the necessary legislation for the new Commission will be in place by February 2012.
82 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Justice and Equality his plans to introduce the ban on below cost selling of alcohol; the estimated financial loss to the Exchequer; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24438/11]
Below-cost selling of alcohol was one of the areas examined by the Government Alcohol Advisory Group (GAAG) in 2008. Due to the complexity of the pricing structures and incentives in operation in this area, the Group was unable within the time available to it to establish any standard costs for the purpose of prohibiting below-cost sales of alcohol products. However, I understand that a Steering Group, which is currently operating under the aegis of the Department of Health, is developing proposals on alcohol for inclusion in the National Substance Misuse Strategy. The Group has been examining a range of issues relating to alcohol availability and pricing and is due to submit its Report, which will include policy recommendations, to Government later this year.
83 Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Justice and Equality in view of Simon Carswell’s investigation into the actions of Anglo Irish Bank and its directors, his views on whether it warrants a criminal investigation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24746/11]
408 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the extent it can be expected that prosecutions can or will be taken against banking executives who have refused to cooperate with the Director of Corporate Enforcement in relation to their failure to apply good governance, due diligence and generally proper banking practice which has resulted in massive damage to the economy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25020/11]
409 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the action taken or likely to be taken against former banking executives who have failed to cooperate with the Director of Corporate Enforcement and who may have placed themselves outside this jurisdiction; if extradition will be considered; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25021/11]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 83, 408 and 409 together.
I attach the highest priority to the full investigation of white collar crime and bringing the perpetrators of such crime to justice to the greatest extent possible. I have expressed, both before and since my appointment as Minister, my unhappiness with the protracted nature of the investigations. I do not intend this as any criticism of investigators and prosecutors, who face tough challenges as a result of the complexities of the matters being investigated. At the same time, I am concerned to ensure that I do not say anything that could prejudice any possible prosecutions or any court hearing. It is imperative that such investigations are conducted in a thorough, methodical and comprehensive manner, so as to ensure that account is taken of all pertinent matters. If this is not done, there is a risk that any prosecutions that may proceed would be jeopardised.
It was in the light of my concerns that I gave priority to the passage through the Oireachtas of the Criminal Justice Act 2011, which was enacted on 2 August and most of which was commenced on 9 August. This new legislation is intended to speed up investigations and prosecutions in relation to white collar crimes, both future investigations and those currently underway, by improving a number of important procedural matters and strengthening Garda investigative powers. It also provides for offences committed by persons who are unwilling or reluctant to assist with an investigation.
On becoming Minister, I sought and received assurances that there were sufficient resources available to the investigations. I can assure the Deputy that this Government will continue to provide sustained support for the investigation in terms of resources, as well as the necessary legislative and administrative supports, and that if those involved in the investigations believe at any stage that additional resources are required that will be responded to.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that, following the submission by the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation of two substantial investigation files relating to matters in Anglo Irish Bank to the Director of Public Prosecutions last December, a supplementary investigation file was submitted in May. The files remain under consideration by the DPP, and his directions are awaited.
The investigation by An Garda Síochána and the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement is ongoing in respect of both these investigations and of other complaints. I understand that it is intended to submit further files to the DPP in the near future.
The decision to seek the extradition of a person charged with a criminal offence rests with the DPP and only arises where the Director has decided that a person should be prosecuted in the first instance. As the Deputy will appreciate, the Director is independent in the exercise of his functions and, as Minister, I have no function in deciding whether a person should be charged with an offence or whether a person's extradition should be sought.
The Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement is responsible for compliance with and enforcement of the Companies Acts and is under the aegis of my colleague the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
84 Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the consultants he has held with political parties and non-governmental organisation regarding proposals for forthcoming referenda on constitutional amendments. [24417/11]
As the Deputy will be aware, the proposal to hold a Constitutional Referendum on judicial remuneration is a commitment in the Programme for Government. In keeping with that undertaking, the Government approved the Twenty-Ninth Amendment of the Constitution (Judges' Remuneration) Bill 2011 and it was published on 4 August 2011. Its publication well ahead of the scheduled debates was with a view to providing adequate opportunity for persons to consider the amendment in advance of its process through the Oireachtas.
On 5 September 2011 I wrote to all members of the Oireachtas briefing them on the objectives of the Bill. I also included a copy of the draft Implementation Bill outlining the legislative provisions which would be introduced by the Government if the proposed Referendum is approved by the People, together with an information sheet setting out the financial ramifications of the proposed amendments. Finally, all members of the Oireachtas were invited to make contact with my office if they had any queries in relation to the Bill. I should add that following publication of the Bill, my office contacted the Opposition spokespersons directly to advise that a briefing on the Bill would be arranged should they wish to avail of it. This initial contact was followed up by telephone by my officials. However, in the event this offer was not taken up.
85 Deputy Shane Ross asked the Taoiseach the amount of money that was spent on taxis by his Department in the past year; the amount of money that has been provided for in the next year for taxi services for his Department; the times that taxis can be used by staff members; the terms under which staff members can use taxis; the amount that was used by staff members; the amount that was used by outsiders; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22731/11]
98 Deputy Shane Ross asked the Taoiseach the amount his Department has spent on taxis for staff and for others in each of the past four years. [23304/11]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 85 and 98 together.
The table below details expenditure by my Department on taxis in the past four years:
|
Year |

2009 |
€53,102 |
|
2010 |

|
2011 (Jan — Aug) |

Staff members are permitted to use taxis for official purposes where there are no other practical or suitable alternative modes of transport available. As regards travel between home and work, taxis are permitted where an officer is required to be at work before 7.30 am or is departing from work for home after 9.00pm in the winter (1st October — 31st March) and 10.00pm in the summer (1st April — 30th September). When using taxis, staff normally use one of the taxi companies with which my Department has an account. The budget allocation for 2012 in respect of taxis will be in the region of €40,000,
Taxis are allowed in rare and exceptional cases for non-staff members for example, as a courtesy to visitors on official business in the Department.
86 Deputy Shane Ross asked the Taoiseach the sum of any public funds and their purpose which have been awarded by his Department either directly or indirectly to the Irish Business and Employers Confederation in the past decade. [22270/11]

[22587/11]
The National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO), is the only agency under my Department's aegis. It was established on a non statutory basis in 2002 and was put on a statutory basis in 2006.
There were 164 whole time equivalent (wte) staff employed in my Department in 1997. At the end of January 2011 there were 189.01 wte employed.
93 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Taoiseach if he will provide a report of the number of consultancy reports commissioned by his Department between 1997 and January 2011; the cost of commissioning each report; if he will provide information on the implementation of recommendations set out in each report; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

97 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Taoiseach the money saved if all State agency board member payments in his Department were reduced by €10,000 when their current annual payment is in excess of €50,000. [22743/11]
The National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO) is the only State agency under the aegis of my Department.
The membership of the Board of the NESDO comprises the Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson of the National Economic and Social Council (NESC). There are 33 members on the NESC. Members do not receive any remuneration in relation to their roles on the Board/Council so the question of savings does not arise.
99 Deputy Shane Ross asked the Taoiseach the details of spending, using departmental credit cards held by Department staff over the past four years; the numbers of persons in his Department who hold credit cards; the credit limits of said cards; and the amount that was specifically spent by his Department on entertainment provided using said credit card. [23319/11]
The following table details the total spend on departmental credit cards over the past four years, and the amount that relates to entertainment expenditure:

There are eight departmental credit cards in operation at present, two of which have a credit limit of €4,000 and the remaining six have a limit of €2,500.00. The cards are held by the following officials:
Head of Information Technology Unit
Head of Library Services/Archives
Private Secretary to the Taoiseach
Private Secretary to Government Chief Whip
Private Secretary to the Minister of State for European Affairs
Assistant Secretary, European and International Affairs
Head of Management Services Unit
Finance Officer
Departmental credit cards are used for official purposes only. They are allocated to officials where the facility will be of practical use in meeting the requirements of official business, for example, to facilitate meeting of travel expenses and official entertainment while away from the office, the procurement of goods and services such as on-line conference bookings, air travel, purchase of IT equipment and library supplies.
The use of official credit cards is closely monitored by the Department's Finance Unit. Expenditure must generally be supported by receipts submitted by card holders each month as part of the approval process for the associated expenditure. The allocation and use of official credit cards are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with a view to minimising the number of cards allocated, and credit limits are assigned in line with requirements for official use on a case by case basis.
100 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Taoiseach the number of persons employed in each of the private offices and the constituency offices of his Ministers of State; the annual amount paid in respect of salaries to each office for 2009, 2010 and to date in 2011 in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23349/11]
101 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Taoiseach the number of special advisers and programme managers in his Department; the annual amount paid in respect of salaries in regard to each such office for each of the years 2009, 2010 and to date in 2011, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23364/11]
102 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Taoiseach the number of persons employed in his private offices and constituency offices; the annual amount paid in respect of salaries in regard to each such office for 2009, 2010 and to date in 2011 in tabular format; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23379/11]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 100 to 102, inclusive, together.
Details of the number and annual salaries of the Special Advisers and of those employed in the Private Offices and Constituency Offices of my Department are set out in the following table.

103 Deputy Simon Harris asked the Taoiseach the budget available to his Department for IT expenditure in 2010 and 2011; the provisions within his Department for the purchasing of IT equipment; the efforts that are being undertaken to ensure value for money and cost reductions in this regard; if there are budgets and procedures in place for the purchasing of IT equipment for each State agency under his remit for 2010 and 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23452/11]
My Department is acutely aware of the need to obtain value for money at all times and is fully committed to effective and efficient resource allocation and service provision. There is a continuing focus on achieving more efficiencies in IT spend and contracts coming up for renewal are reviewed with a view to consolidation wherever possible. Centrally negotiated framework agreements are also utilised wherever possible.
The National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO) is the only agency under the aegis of my Department. NESDO receive a grant-in-aid allocation from my Department. They provided for €10,000 from their budget in 2010 and €12,870 from their budget in 2011 for the purchasing of IT equipment.
Procurement of IT equipment by my Department and by NESDO is carried out under procedures recommended by the National Public Procurement Policy Unit in the Department of Finance which is responsible for procurement policy, national procurement guidelines and the application of EU directives.
These procedures are designed to ensure that appropriate competitive processes are in place to select the providers of goods and services which represent best value to the Department, taking account of a number of important criteria including cost and suitability for purpose.
104 Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Taoiseach if he will publish the details of his Department’s submission and all correspondence to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for consideration as part of the comprehensive spending review. [23479/11]
Departmental submissions to the Comprehensive Review of Expenditure (CRE) are a central part of the overall pre-budget deliberations of the Government. As such, release of these documents could not be considered in advance of Government decisions on the forthcoming Budget. I would envisage that the reports submitted as part of the CRE process can be made available publicly following the completion of the budgetary and Estimates process.
105 Deputy John McGuinness asked the Taoiseach if he will give details of the most recent unemployment figures at a social welfare office (details supplied) in Dublin 24; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23879/11]
The Live Register series gives a monthly breakdown of the number of people claiming Jobseekers Benefit, Jobseekers Allowance and other registrants as registered with the Department of Social Protection. Figures are published for each county and local social welfare office.
The most recent Live Register figures available are for August 2011. The table below contains the numbers signing on in Tallaght local office on the last Friday of August 2011.
It should be noted that the Live Register is not a definitive measure of unemployment as it includes part-time workers, and seasonal and casual workers entitled to Jobseekers Benefit or Allowance.

106 Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Taoiseach the potential savings to the Exchequer by reducing professional fees paid by the State by 25%. [24288/11]
The total amount of professional fees paid by my Department from January to end August 2011 was €1,011,530.30. This includes spend of €1,270 under my Department's administrative budget, the remainder relates to the Moriarty Tribunal. A reduction of 25% would have equalled €252,882.58.
It should be noted that following completion of its Second Report, the Tribunal's legal team was reduced and it now consists of just a Junior Counsel and a Solicitor to assist in the completion of the Tribunal's remaining tasks.
107 Deputy Anne Ferris asked the Taoiseach the progress that has been made in establishing the constitutional convention; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24432/11]
Work has commenced on the preparation of proposals for the establishment of the Constitutional Convention and, when ready, these will be considered by the Government.
The proposals, which will address matters such as the structure, composition and working methods of the Convention, will be announced after they have been agreed by the Government.
108 Deputy Eric Byrne asked the Taoiseach if he will confirm the names of those who will comprise the Oireachtas consultation group in relation to the plans for the 1916 rising centenary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24433/11]
Membership of the Oireachtas Consultation Group on Centenary Commemorations comprises Mr. Jimmy Deenihan TD, Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Deputies Aengus Ó Snodaigh, Catherine Murphy and Maureen O'Sullivan and Senators Mary White and Mark Daly.
109 Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Taoiseach if he will deal with a matter (details supplied) regarding expenses claimed by a former Taoiseach; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23695/11]
110 Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Taoiseach if he will deal with a matter regarding expenditure of public money (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23798/11]
111 Deputy Anne Ferris asked the Taoiseach the measures he will take to reduce the phone allowances and secretarial allowances of retired Taoisigh; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23999/11]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 109 to 111, inclusive, together.
Under the terms of an initiative introduced by the Department of Finance in August 2001, my Department pays the salary of secretarial assistants employed by former Taoisigh.
A former Taoiseach may employ two secretarial assistants for a period not exceeding five years. After the five year period has elapsed one secretarial assistant may be employed. The initiative also includes provision for purchase of computer equipment necessary for this type of service.
My Department also pays for the telephone expenses incurred by former Taoisigh.
These arrangements are being reviewed as part of the Comprehensive Review of Expenditure which is currently underway.
112 Deputy Robert Dowds asked the Taoiseach the amount of money spent producing Government reports in both Irish and English on a yearly basis. [25411/11]

113 Deputy Alex White asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the reason a passport has not been issued in respect of a person (details supplied). [24594/11]
An application for a passport for the child in question was made in March, 2011. This was done under the provisions of the Passports Act, 2008, which provides, that this Department must be satisfied that an applicant is an Irish citizen before issuing him/her a passport. In this particular case the child was born in England. Her mother was born in South Africa and even though she is an Irish passport holder since 2004, this does not confer automatic Irish citizenship entitlement to any children that she may have that were born abroad.
Accordingly the applicant's entitlement to Irish citizenship is based on an Irish-born maternal grandparent. In such cases, a person must apply for Irish citizenship through the Foreign Births Registration process to the Consular Section in my Department. Successful applicants are issued with certificates of registration which are required for the purposes of passport applications.
No such certificate or any other acceptable evidence of the child's entitlement to Irish citizenship was presented with the passport application and accordingly, the application could not be approved. The Passport Service wrote to the applicant's parents on 14 April, 2011 to advise of the position and requested specific additional documentary evidence to demonstrate the child's entitlement to Irish citizenship. While no reply has been received in the interim the application remains open.
In order to finalise the application to passport issue, the child in question must first be registered in the Foreign Births Register. Once this is done, the parents must submit the certificate of registration to the Passport Service where it will be associated with the current application form.
The Consular Division of the Department received an application for Foreign Births registration on 19th May 2011 and has been in contact with the applicant in relation to outstanding documentation as recently as 6th September last. When this documentation is received the application for Foreign Birth Registration can be fully considered.
114 Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if a decision has been reached in relation to retaining an Irish embassy in the Vatican. [24771/11]
I am currently reviewing our network of diplomatic and consular missions in the context of the Government's comprehensive review of expenditure. It would be inappropriate and discourteous for me to speculate on the outcome of that review as regards individual missions.
115 Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade in view of Ireland’s commitment to international arms control, in particular nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament and in view of Ireland’s chairmanship of the OSCE, which we will take up in 2012, if he will inform Dáil Éireann when he intends to implement Ireland’s accession to the Antarctic Treaty. [24783/11]
The question of Ireland's possible accession to the Antarctic Treaty System is under consideration in those Government Departments which have responsibility for the areas covered by the Antarctic Treaties. A Government decision of 9 June 2010 authorised the then Minister for Foreign Affairs and the other relevant Ministers to conduct preparatory work on this issue. A process of inter-departmental consultation, chaired by my Department, is continuing. This includes an assessment of the legislative implications of accession; it is apparent that these could be significant.
116 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the names of the State boards whose membership are determined by his Department; the date on which each of these membership is due for renewal or appointment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24959/11]
There are no State boards operating under the responsibility of my Department. However, there are currently four bodies which operate under its aegis. The four bodies in question consist of
one Education Commission: The Ireland — United States Commission for Educational Exchange, also known as the Fulbright Commission; and
three Advisory Committees, namely (a) the Government Emigrant Services Advisory Committee; (b) the Development Education Advisory Committee and (c) the Irish Aid Expert Advisory Group.
The Ireland — United States (Fulbright) Commission for Educational Exchange, while not a State body, was established on a statutory basis in 1991. I have certain specific statutory responsibilities in respect of the Commission, including the appointment of four of eight members to its Board for a two-year period. In October 2010, my predecessor appointed three members to the Board. The fourth board member's term has expired.
The Government's Emigrant Services Advisory Committee (previously known as the Díon Committee) was set up in 1984 to advise the Government on the welfare of the Irish community in Britain. The Committee's primary role is to advise on the distribution of Government support to voluntary agencies providing front line services and community care to Irish people in Britain. The Committee currently has a membership of thirteen persons. The Chair and Secretary are both officers of the Embassy in London, while other Committee members serve in a voluntary capacity.
Following the expiration of the term of the previous Committee on 31 December 2010, I appointed eleven voluntary members to the Committee on 11 April 2011, in consultation with Embassy London and the Irish Abroad Unit in my Department. The Development Education Advisory Committee (DEAC) was established by the Minister for Foreign Affairs in 2003 following the recommendations of the Ireland Aid Review Committee. It has ten members, eight of whom I appoint directly and two who are appointed on the nomination of the Department of Education and Skills and the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA). Its purpose is to advise on policy regarding development education. The current committee was appointed by my predecessor in April 2010 for a two-year term. Membership is drawn from the voluntary sector and relevant educational institutions. The Department of Education and Skills and the NCCA nominees serve in a representative capacity while all other committee members serve in an individual capacity.
The Irish Aid Expert Advisory Group (IAEAG) was established in 2010 acting on a recommendation contained in the Irish Aid Management Review adopted by the Government in 2009. The Group consists of seven members, six of whom I appoint directly and one on the nomination of the Department of Finance. The role of the Group is to offer independent expert advice on the strategic direction of the aid programme. Members of the Advisory Group were appointed by my predecessor in June 2010 for a three year term.
117 Deputy Robert Dowds asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the amount of money spent producing Government reports in both Irish and English on a yearly basis. [25412/11]
In 2010, my Department translated two reports into Irish: the 2009 Report of the Department's Audit Committee and the 2009 Annual Report of Irish Aid. The total amount spent on translating these reports was €4,343.
118 Deputy Robert Dowds asked the Minister for Finance the extent of tobacco smuggling here at present; the extent of seizures of illegal tobacco over the past year; and his plans to tackle this crime. [24659/11]
I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners, who are responsible for the collection of tobacco products tax, and for tackling the illicit trade in cigarettes and tobacco products, that there is no internationally recognised method for precisely determining the amount of tax lost as a result of the illicit trade in cigarettes. However, on the basis of a 2009 & 2010 survey carried out independently on behalf of Revenue and the Office of Tobacco Control, Revenue estimates that approximately 20% of cigarettes consumed in the State had not been taxed in this jurisdiction. It is important to emphasise that this estimate includes both illicit cigarettes and legal cross-border purchases brought into the State for personal consumption. Revenue would further tentatively estimate that this figure of 20% comprises 14% illicit product and 6% legal cross-border purchases. In 2010 Revenue's strategy resulted in the seizure of a total of 178m cigarettes with a retail value of approximately €75m and 3,342kg of tobacco with a retail value of approximately €1.2m. For the period January to August 2011, a total of 77.9m cigarettes with a retail value of approximately €32.8m and 6,683 kg of tobacco with a retail value of approximately €2.4m have been seized.
The Revenue Commissioners regard the tackling of the illicit trade in cigarettes and tobacco products to be a high priority area. They have established a high level internal group, chaired at Commissioner level, to examine the risks related to tobacco products tax and to oversee and optimise the detection of counterfeit and contraband tobacco products. This group has promoted a number of initiatives aimed at counteracting the illicit trade in tobacco. These include adoption of a comprehensive tobacco strategy and action plan.
This strategy employed by Revenue to tackle this illicit trade is multi-faceted. It includes ongoing analysis of the nature and extent of the problem, developing and sharing intelligence on a national, EU and international basis, ongoing review of operational policies, development of analytics and deployment of detection technologies, optimum deployment of resources at point of importation and internally to intercept the contraband product and to prosecute those involved.
Interception at the point of importation is achieved through a combination of risk analysis, profiling, intelligence, and the screening of cargo, vehicles, baggage and postal packages. Revenue enforcement officers also target this illicit trade at the post-importation level by carrying out intelligence-based operations and random checks at retail outlets, markets and private and commercial premises. Revenue also carries out regular multi-agency operations, particularly in relation to large maritime importations and in checks at inland markets.
In July 2010, Revenue launched a series of nationwide tobacco ‘blitz' type operations, which concentrated additional Revenue resources at ports, airports and at various inland retail points, including markets for the purpose of identifying illicit tobacco products. To date, Revenue has conducted seven tobacco blitz operations that have resulted in the seizure of in excess of 33.2m cigarettes. Another two large-scale nationwide operations are scheduled to take place during the last quarter of 2011.
119 Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance his view on obliging banks who forced customers out of tracker mortgages and onto fixed mortgages or flexi-rates; and his further views on whether there would be any cost incurred to the State as a result of this policy. [24404/11]
The Central Bank's Consumer Protection Code requires entities regulated by the Central Bank to act honestly, fairly and professionally in the best interests of their customers. Regulated entities must not recklessly, negligently or deliberately mislead a customer as to the real or perceived advantages or disadvantages of any particular product or service. In accordance with common rule 12 of the Code, regulated entities have to ensure that all relevant information, and in particular, key information is provided to a consumer in a clear manner. The operation of any agreement between a regulated entity and a consumer must be in accordance with the terms and conditions applying to that agreement. In August 2010, the Central Bank published the findings of an examination of switching practices related to tracker mortgages by lenders and relevant customer communications in relation to products. A number of concerns were identified during the examination about the level of disclosure and transparency when consumers moved from tracker rate mortgages to other forms of mortgages.
As a result of this finding, mortgage lenders were requested to disclose fully, with immediate effect, the impact of any switch from a tracker mortgage rate in all customer communications. Customers must be notified that switching from a tracker rate may mean they will lose the ability to avail of a tracker rate mortgage in the future, where this is the case.
Mortgage lenders have been advised to include new information in all customer communications regarding switching from tracker rate mortgages, for any reason, with immediate effect. This information should include:
indicative comparisons of the cost of monthly repayments of the customer's current tracker rate mortgage and the rates being offered,
details of the advantages and disadvantages of the tracker mortgage rate compared to the other rates being offered.
The examination did not find evidence that customers were being offered incentives to move off tracker rate mortgages. Mortgage lenders have been instructed, by the Central Bank, to give careful consideration before offering any incentives to customers to move from tracker rate mortgages and to notify the Central Bank in advance of any such proposals.
I have been informed by the Central Bank that, where banks and other lending agencies made errors in removing persons from tracker rate mortgages, the Bank expects that such customers have been or will be compensated by the agency in question. The Central Bank will not comment on press reports that certain amounts of compensation have been paid by certain lending agencies.
120 Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Finance his plans to reverse the implementation of the universal social charge; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24411/11]
The Universal Social Charge (USC) was introduced in Budget 2011 to replace the Income Levy and Health Levy. The USC is a more sustainable charge than the Income Levy and Health Levy. It is applied at a low rate on a wide base. The USC is designed to apply across income levels in a smoother progression and to address the irregularities caused by ‘step effects' in the previous system of levies. There is a commitment in the Programme for Government to carry out a review of the USC. This review has commenced.
The Terms of Reference of the review are broad and wide-ranging and include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
Low paid income earners;
Persons over 65;
Medical Card Holders;
Widows/Widowers;
Self-employed;
Public Service Pensioners;
Employer contributions to PRSAs; and
Any other issues (including any operational issues that have arisen in the administration of the charge).
When the review is completed and the findings are presented to me, I will make any necessary decisions in the context of Budget 2012.
121 Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Finance the number of vehicles registered under the category C classification up to 31 August 2011 and for each of the years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010; the cost to his Department of processing these applications; the amount of revenue collected by his Department from processing these applications; the amount of revenue collected by his Department from these applications to date in 2011 and in each of the past four years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24459/11]
I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the number of vehicles that were registered under the category C classification together with the amount of revenue collected for the requested periods, are shown in the table. The cost of processing these registrations is not available.

122 Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance the current point of entry to the PAYE tax net; and if he plans to lower same. [24485/11]
The entry point to taxation for PAYE income earners is determined by a number of factors such as the age of an individual, marital status and dependent children. On that basis, the entry point to income tax for the most common categories of PAYE income earners are set out in the following tables:

As the Deputy is aware, the Government has initiated a Comprehensive Review of Expenditure to provide the Government with a set of decision options to meet the overall fiscal consolidation objectives and re-align spending with the Programme for Government priorities.
When this review is complete, the Government will examine the findings and, based on these findings and consultation with the Troika, will introduce fiscally neutral changes to the detail of the EU/IMF Programme of Financial Support for Ireland while maintaining the overall commitment to fiscal consolidation.
123 Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance his view on refundable tax credits; and if he will give an annual estimated cost to the Exchequer of providing refundable tax credits to those in receipt of wages less that €17,500 per annum. [24486/11]
I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that based on annual incomes below €17,500 per annum on Revenue income tax records, as returned by or on behalf of income earners for the income tax year 2009, the latest year for which the necessary detailed data is available, the cost to the Exchequer of making the main personal and PAYE tax credits refundable when they are unused by these income earners is estimated to be of the order of €1.4 billion per annum. This estimate relates only to the cost of extending refundable tax credits to all those on the Revenue's tax files. If a refundable tax credit system were to be introduced, one would have to consider those who are not on the tax files, for example, those who are of employable age but not working, including those on social welfare. If such categories were eligible this would increase the cost significantly.
The estimate of cost takes into account all income earners, both employees and self-employed, whose total gross income from all sources is below €17,500 per annum. This is composed of income from employment and self-employment as well as all other sources of tax liable income such as pensions, benefits, dividends and investments.
In addition to the issue of cost, there would be a range of other policy and practical issues arising in introducing such a system.
124 Deputy Anne Ferris asked the Minister for Finance his views on whether members of the Craft Council of Ireland will avail of the reduction in the VAT rate for their labour intensive crafts; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24513/11]
140 Deputy Seán Kyne asked the Minister for Finance his plans to reduce the VAT applied on labour-intensive products produced by crafts-persons which would recognise the importance of such an indigenous, often rural based industry. [24977/11]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 124 and 140 together.
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. I understand that the major sectors within the Irish craft industry are pottery, glass, jewellery, textiles and furniture. Annex III does not provide for a reduced rate of VAT to be applied to these goods, which are consequentially subject to the standard VAT rate of 21%.
125 Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Finance if he will guarantee that the Revenue Commissioner in all districts will return all Relevant Contract Tax Deductions, RCTD 35% on application for entitlements in the respective year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24634/11]
I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that Relevant Contracts Tax (RCT) is a withholding tax mechanism for contractors carrying out relevant operations in the construction, forestry and meat processing sectors. The governing legislation obliges a person (the principal contractor) to retain 35% of the amount payable to subcontractors in the absence of a Revenue authorisation (C2) and a related Payments Card. Where tax is deducted, the principal contractor gives the subcontractor a Form RCTDC, which the subcontractor uses to claim credit for, or repayment of, the tax withheld. A subcontractor makes a claim for repayment of RCT by submitting one or more Form(s) RCTDC in respect of an income tax month or any number of income tax months. As a withholding tax, the tax deducted by the principal contractor is available for offset against the subcontractor's tax liability, primarily Income Tax and Corporation Tax, but also against other taxes such as Value Added Tax and employers' PAYE/PRSI. Once these liabilities have been satisfied, any balance of tax in credit may be refunded to the subcontractor.
126 Deputy Robert Dowds asked the Minister for Finance his approach towards assisting families coping with stressed mortgages; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24655/11]
There are a number of measures in place to assist people who are having genuine difficulties in meeting their mortgage repayments. The Central Bank's revised Code of Conduct for Mortgage Arrears (the Code) applies to mortgage lending activities with consumers in respect of their principal private residence in the State. Compliance with the Code is mandatory on all mortgage lenders registered with the Central Bank. The Code came into effect on 1 January 2011. With effect from 30 June 2011, lenders must have in place the required systems and trained staff necessary to support the implementation of the Code. The Code sets out the framework that lenders must use when dealing with borrowers who are in arrears or are in pre-arrears. For the purposes of the Code a "pre-arrears" case arises when the borrower contacts the lender stating that he or she is in danger of getting into financial difficulties and/or is concerned about getting into mortgage arrears. The Code can be accessed at www.centralbank.ie.
The main provisions of the code are as set out as follows:
(1) Lenders must establish a Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process know as "MARP" and use this framework when dealing with consumers who are in arrears or in pre-arrears situations.
(2) The lender must not apply to the courts to commence legal action for repossession of the borrower's primary residence until every reasonable effort has been made to agree an alternative arrangement with the borrower or his/her nominated representative.
(3) Where a borrower co-operates with the lender, the lender must wait at least 12 months from the date the borrower is classified as a MARP case (i.e. 31 days from the date the arrears first arose) before applying to the courts to commence legal action for repossession of a borrower's primary residence.
(4) Where a borrower is in mortgage arrears, a lender may commence legal action for repossession of the property without the 12 month period applying, only in the following circumstances:-
where a borrower does not co-operate with the lender,
in the case of fraud perpetrated on the lender by the borrower, or
in the case of a breach of contract by the borrower other than the existence of arrears.
(5) A lender must not require a borrower to change from an existing tracker mortgage to another mortgage type as part of an alternative arrangement offered to the borrower in arrears or in pre-arrears.
(6) Lenders must establish an Appeals Support Unit which must be adequately staffed, to manage cases under the MARP.
(7) Borrowers can make an appeal in relation to the decision of the Arrears Support Unit and the lender's treatment of the borrowers under the MARP, to an internal Appeals Board which lenders are required to establish. The Central Bank has produced, with input from the National Consumer Agency, a consumer guide to assist consumers in understanding the new process under the revised Code that they should expect from lenders. The guide together, with a number of questions and answers, are available on the Central Bank's website www.centralbank.ie.
Financial assistance is available to eligible claimants under the Department of Social Protection's Mortgage Interest Supplement Scheme.
People in debt or in danger of getting into debt can avail of the services of the Money Advice and Budgeting Service. This is a national, free, confidential, and independent service.
The Deputy may wish to note that a Working Group has been established under the Economic Management Council to consider the state of implementation of the main recommendations in the report of the Mortgage Arrears and Personal Debt Group. This Group has also been asked to consider and develop further necessary actions to alleviate the increasing mortgage over-indebtedness problem. I expect that the Group will complete its work in the very near future.
127 Deputy Robert Dowds asked the Minister for Finance if he has given directions to the banks and other lending agencies on the way they are to deal with persons unable to cope with mortgages which they are unable to pay either in part or full; if so, if these banks and lending agencies are carrying out his direction; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24656/11]
I have not issued directions to the banks and to other lending agencies on the manner in which they are to deal with their customers. However, I would like to inform the Deputy that, following the publication of the report of the Mortgage Arrears and Personal Debt Group in November 2010, the Central Bank revised its Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears (CCMA). The revisions were to reflect many of the recommendations in the report, including the key recommendations relating to the introduction by all lenders, regulated by the Central Bank, of a standardised Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process (MARP).
The revised CCMA came into effect on 1 January 2011 and can be assessed at www.centralbank.ie. Lenders are legally required to comply with the CCMA. With effect from 30 June 2011, lenders must have in place the requisite systems and trained staff necessary to support the implementation of the MARP.
lenders are prohibited from moving borrowers in arrears from existing tracker mortgages,
penalty interest charges may not be imposed on borrowers in arrears who co-operate with the MARP,
harassment of borrowers through unsolicited communication is outlawed,
borrowers in financial difficulties, but not in arrears, are allowed to come under the MARP,
when determining the 12 month period that the lender must wait before applying to the courts to commence legal action, the lender must exclude any time period during which the borrower is complying with the terms of an alternative repayment arrangement, making an appeal to the internal appeals board or making a complaint to the Financial Services Ombudsman.
128 Deputy Robert Dowds asked the Minister for Finance the amount of money spent producing Government reports in both Irish and English on a yearly basis. [24657/11]
Following clarification with the Deputy's office I understand that the information being sought is the total expenditure by my Department on translations from English into Irish for 2010. The total expenditure by my Department on translation costs from English into Irish in 2010 was €8,747.36.
129 Deputy Robert Dowds asked the Minister for Finance if he will consider putting the following into practice, to print Government reports and documents in English, rather than bilingually, to have available all such reports in the Irish language for all those who want to read them as Gaeilge; and if so, the amount of money that would be saved by the State. [24658/11]
Every effort should be made to ensure that material is translated into Irish in-house. Many publications, translated into Irish, should be stored electronically and printed in-house as required.
130 Deputy Robert Dowds asked the Minister for Finance the position regarding a report on the expert group reviewing the house mortgage situation. [24663/11]
I assume that the Deputy is referring to the report of the Mortgage Arrears and Personal Debt Group (Cooney Report) which was published in November 2010. One of the recommendations of the Group was that lenders should offer a Deferred Interest Scheme (DIS) to borrowers. Under this Scheme, subject to certain criteria being satisfied, borrowers are allowed to pay at least 66% of their mortgage interest but less than 100%. Payment of the balance may be deferred for up to 5 years. Lenders representing the majority of the market have already implemented (or indicated their willingness to implement) the Group's proposals for a DIS or a variation of it. While the Scheme is voluntary for all lenders, those who have signed up in support of the Scheme will be monitored by the Central Bank to ensure compliance.
Since the publication of the Group's Report, the Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears (CCMA) has been revised by the Central Bank to reflect many of the Group's recommendations, including key recommendations relating to the introduction by all lenders regulated by the Central Bank of a standardised Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process (MARP). The most significant changes in the revised CCMA include
penalty interest charges may not be imposed on borrowers in arrears who co-operate with the MARP,
harassment of borrowers through unsolicited communication is outlawed,
borrowers in financial difficulties, but not in arrears, are allowed to come under the MARP,
when determining the 12 month period the lender must wait before applying to the courts to commence legal action, the lender must exclude any time period during which the borrower is complying with the terms of an alternative repayment arrangement, making an appeal to the internal appeals board or making a complaint to the Financial Services Ombudsman.
The revised CCMA came into effect on 1 January 2011 and can be accessed at www.centralbank.ie. Lenders are required to comply with the CCMA as a matter of law. With effect from 30 June 2011, lenders must have in place the requisite systems and trained staff necessary to support the implementation of the MARP.
A new Working Group has been established under the Economic Management Council. Its remit is to consider the state of implementation of the main recommendations of the Cooney Report and to develop further necessary actions to alleviate the mortgage over indebtedness problem. The Government will consider what further action is warranted once the Group has concluded its deliberations and reported to the Economic Management Council. I expect that the Group will complete its work in the very near future.
131 Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Finance if, with reference to the confirmation of the Chief Economist of the International Energy Agency in April 2011 that global crude oil production peaked in 2006 and that oil prices internationally are likely to inflate significantly over the long term and having regard to Ireland’s dependance on imported fossil fuels, he has undertaken any detailed economic risk modelling of the potential impact on the economy here of permanently higher or volatile oil prices; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24763/11]
As the Deputy is aware, Ireland is an oil-importer. Thus, any rise in the price of oil reduces domestic disposable income levels, meaning that less income is available to spend on domestically produced good and services. All other things being equal, this will have a negative impact on GDP growth. In terms of quantifying the potential impact, model simulations suggest that each 10 euro per barrel increase in the price of oil reduces the GDP growth rate by around ¼ — ½ per cent in a full year. A number of caveats apply to this estimate however, as the transmission of higher oil prices to the real economy depends on a number of factors. These include the nature of the oil price shock (whether it is a demand or supply-side shock), the perception of households and firms as to the duration of the price increase and the policy response.
It is also important to note that structural changes in the economy in recent decades mean that Ireland is now much less dependent on oil as an input to the production process than in the past. For example, there has been a sectoral shift from manufacturing to services, with the latter (on average) being less energy-intensive. In addition, there has been an intra-sectoral shift from heavy manufacturing to knowledge-intensive manufacturing. This has reduced the exposure of the manufacturing sector (on average) to oil price developments.
Moreover, I would point out that while the price of oil has been on an upward trend over the past year — primarily reflecting supply-side issues, particularly the geo-political crisis in the Middle East — futures markets are currently pricing in lower oil prices for 2012 and 2013.
132 Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Finance the amount of money that accrues to his Department for the Exchequer as a result of the raising of the limit of approved retirement funds from €12,700 to €18,000 in budget 2011; the number of persons who had planned to purchase an ARF on retirement will no longer be eligible to do so; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24880/11]
133 Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Finance the outcome of the residual pension fund of deceased pensioners, following the raising limit for the purchase of approved retirement funds in Budget 2011, who have qualified for an ARF before the changes and which could have been left to their next of kin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24881/11]
134 Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Finance if, following the raising of the guaranteed income limit for life for the purchase of an approved retirement fund in Budget 2011, there is a mechanism or provision, other than an approved minimum retirement fund, whereby non qualifying pensioners get the many advantages of an ARF that wealthier pensioners will enjoy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24884/11]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 132 to 134, inclusive, together.
These questions relate to the flexible options on retirement first introduced in Finance Act 1999. Prior to that Act, any person taking a pension under a defined contribution (DC) scheme or a Retirement Annuity Contract was required to purchase an annuity with their remaining pension pot after drawing down the appropriate tax-free lump sum. Finance Act 1999 introduced significant changes which gave a considerable degree of control, flexibility and personal choice to certain categories of individuals in relation to the drawing down of benefits from their pension plans. These choices include the options to purchase an annuity, to receive the balance of the pension fund in cash (subject to tax, as appropriate), to invest in an approved retirement fund (ARF) or an Approved Minimum Retirement Fund (AMRF), subject to certain conditions.
Access to these flexible options was extended to all main benefits from retirement benefit schemes (other than Defined Benefit arrangements) in Finance Act 2011. The changes made in Finance Act 2011 have particular relevance for ordinary members of occupational DC pension schemes in respect of the main benefits from such schemes, as up to the passing of the Act, the only option available to them in respect of those benefits had been the purchase of a retirement annuity after taking the tax-free lump sum. These individuals now have the choices referred to above depending on their particular circumstances. It should be borne in mind, however, that the option to invest in an ARF or AMRF as opposed to purchasing an annuity may not be appropriate for everyone.
Under the regime the options to
invest in an ARF, or
receive the balance of the pension fund in cash (subject to tax, as appropriate) are subject to conditions. The conditions include the requirements that the individual be over 75 years of age or, if younger, that the individual has a guaranteed level of pension income (specified income) actually in payment for life at the time the option to effect the ARF or cash option is exercised. Finance Act 2011 increased the guaranteed level of pension income required from the previous fixed amount of €12,700 introduced in 1999, to a variable amount equal to 1.5 times the maximum annual rate of the State Pension (Contributory) bringing the "specified income" limit to €18,000 per annum at present.
The purpose of the specified income limit is to ensure, before an individual has unfettered access to their remaining retirement funds via an ARF for example, that they have the security of an adequate guaranteed income throughout their retirement. It is not the purpose of the limit, or the increase in the limit, to secure additional revenues for the Exchequer. The change to the specified income limit introduced in Finance Act 2011 was strongly signalled in the National Pensions Framework published in March 2010.
Where the minimum specified income test is not met, and an individual does not wish to purchase an annuity, then an AMRF must be chosen into which a "set aside" amount must be invested from the pension fund equal to 10 times the maximum annual rate of State Pension (Contributory) — €119,800 at present — or the remainder of the pension fund, after taking the tax-free lump sum, if less. Prior to Finance Act 2011, the "set aside" amount was fixed at the first €63,500 of the pension fund or the remainder of the fund after the tax-free lump sum, if less than that amount. The purpose of an AMRF is to ensure a capital or income "safety net" for individuals with pension income below the specified income limit throughout the period of their retirement. The funds in an AMRF can be used by the owner at any time to purchase an annuity. On death of the AMRF owner, the AMRF automatically becomes an ARF and any remaining funds may be passed on in a tax efficient way to a surviving spouse and/or children.
Prior to Finance Act 2011, if the minimum specified income test was not met at the time the option to effect the ARF or cash option was exercised and the individual placed a "set aside" amount in an AMRF, that capital sum was effectively "locked in" and could not be accessed by the individual, other than to purchase an annuity, until he or she reached 75 years of age (at which point the AMRF automatically becomes an ARF) though any income generated by the fund could be drawn down subject to tax. This was the position even if the minimum specified income test was met after retirement. Finance Act 2011 changed this rule so that where the minimum specified income test is met at any time after retirement and before age 75, the AMRF automatically becomes an ARF with full access to the funds.
As a transitional measure, Finance Act 2011 allows the previous lower guaranteed income requirement of €12,700 per annum to continue to apply for a period of 3 years from the date that Act was signed into law (6 February 2011)—
for individuals who had retired before that date and who already had an AMRF, and
for individuals who availed of the deferred annuity purchase option*, had exercised the ARF (or cash) option within one month of the date of passing of Finance Act 2011 and who in exercising that option had transferred the requisite amount to an AMRF within that one month period.
This means that if such individuals satisfy the guaranteed income requirement of €12,700 within that three-year period their AMRF becomes an ARF. After this three-year period expires, the new higher guaranteed income test will have to be satisfied before the AMRF can become an ARF. The amount of guaranteed income required to meet the test will change in line with any future change in the maximum annual rate of State Pension (Contributory).
I have no information on the number of individuals who would have been in a position to avail of the ARF option if the rules relating to the minimum income test, in particular, had not been changed. However, I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that there have been very few representations made to them in that regard. Where individuals do not meet the new specified income test and choose not to take the AMRF option, they can of course purchase an annuity. Depending on the particular scheme rules, the annuity can be designed to include features that best suit the individual's particular needs, in terms of how long the annuity payments may be guaranteed after death, whether they revert to a dependant after death and whether they remain at the same level or increase during payment.
The Budget and Finance Act 2011 changes seek to ensure that those in pension arrangements to whom the flexible ARF options on retirement have been extended will have choices which best suit their particular circumstances. In making the changes, however, there was also a concern to ensure that the parameters and rules governing the extension are set in a way that avoids an increase in the risk of income poverty in old age.
The deferred annuity purchase option was introduced with effect from 4 December 2008 for members of defined contribution occupational pension schemes and allowed them to defer the purchase of an annuity for an initial period of 2 years, in light of the fact that pension funds had been adversely affected by the falls in equity markets and the more general falls in assets values. The deferral option was operated administratively by the Revenue Commissioners. The period of deferral was subsequently extended to 6 March 2011 i.e. one month beyond the passing into law of the Finance Act 2011.
135 Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the delays in the assessment of business plans by the National Asset Management Agency which is resulting in deposits being returned to house purchasers and cases in which house owners are unable to take possession of their homes resulting in financial hardship; if, in view of the current market conditions, he will ensure that the assessment deadlines given by NAMA are met by it to prevent further losses in cases in which house purchases still exist; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24892/11]
With regard to the Deputy's contention that there are delays in the business plan review process, I understand from NAMA that significant progress has been made over recent months and that, as of end-August 2011, NAMA had completed its review of the plans of 113 of the 180 debtors whose loans it is managing directly. These 113 debtors account for some 75% of the total nominal value of debts outstanding to NAMA. In addition to the reviews conducted directly by NAMA, reviews have also been completed of the plans of another 60 debtors whose debts are being managed by the participating institutions under delegated authority from NAMA. NAMA has also observed that, in any event, the ongoing review of debtor business plans does not hold up credit decisions. In fact, some 400 credit decisions, including sales approvals, are currently being processed every month. I understand that, generally speaking, once a credit application comes into NAMA, a decision is made within one week. If the Deputy has details of specific cases of delay, such information should be sent to the CEO of NAMA who will investigate the matter and revert to him directly.
It should also be pointed out that not all offers made by potential purchasers will match what NAMA considers to be an acceptable price for the property concerned.
136 Deputy Alan Farrell asked the Minister for Finance the amount lost to the Exchequer due to tax evasion on a yearly basis over the past five years; his plans to minimise this amount as a means of increasing tax revenue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24901/11]
I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that they do not measure the amount of tax lost to the Exchequer due to tax evasion. There is no one internationally recognised and agreed measure. The results from the many different measures must be treated with a great deal of caution. The international response by other tax authorities to tax evasion is to focus on deterrence while at the same time facilitating compliance. This is precisely the approach adopted by the Revenue Commissioners. The main focus of Revenue continues to be on selecting cases for intervention based on the presence of various risk indicators and other information available. This is the type of targeted intervention that gets best results and that is most likely to change the behaviour of the taxpayer into the future. The targeted approach is greatly enhanced by the computerised Risk Evaluation Analysis and Profiling System (REAP) developed by Revenue. Cases may also be selected on the basis of external/further information provided to Revenue.
Revenue fully recognises the need to tackle tax evasion in all its forms, and consequently has an increased focus on sectors which have the potential to operate using cash.
Last year auditors carried out 11,008 audits resulting in a yield of €434.7 million. A total of 454,796 assurance checks, a less intrusive form of intervention, produced a yield of €58 million.
137 Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Finance if the Revenue Commissioners will explain the reason a person (details supplied) in County Kerry is being forced to make repayment to them; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24923/11]
I am advised by Revenue that an unfortunate mistake was made in this case. Revenue has now taken steps to rectify the matter and to apologise to the taxpayer. In May 2011 the taxpayer informed them that she was in receipt of widow's pension from the Department of Social Protection since 2006. As a result, an adjustment of her tax credits was needed, to remove the married person's tax credit to which she was no longer entitled, and to replace it with credits appropriate to her new status.
Unfortunately, only the first part of this process was carried out, and the result was an apparent underpayment of tax for the years 2007 to 2010. A statement of underpayment was issued in early August. Revenue has now however corrected the situation by adding the credits to which she is entitled, and the result is that no additional tax is due.
Revenue deeply regret the distress caused to the taxpayer by the erroneous assessment of her tax liability, and have written directly to apologise.
138 Deputy Dominic Hannigan asked the Minister for Finance if any of the money has been drawn down from the bilateral loan agreements with the UK, Sweden and Denmark; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24929/11]
To date, there have been no draw downs from the bilateral loans available under the EU/IMF Programme of Financial Support for Ireland. Arrangements are well underway for the first drawdown under the Loan Agreement reached with the UK. The first drawdown of £403 million or approximately €463 million, using the exchange rate on 19 September 2011, is expected to be completed shortly.
Loan agreements with Sweden and Denmark are still being finalized. The first draw downs from Sweden and Denmark are expected to take place in the first quarter of 2012.
139 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Finance the names of the State boards whose membership are determined by his Department; the date on which each of these memberships is due for renewal or appointment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24958/11]
The following are the State Boards whose membership are determined by the Department of Finance; the membership of each Board; the date each member was appointed to the Board and the date each membership of the Board will cease.

141 Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Finance his plans to introduce a debt forgiveness scheme for those in mortgage arrears; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24988/11]
As I stated to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform on 1 September 2011, the issue of mortgage indebtedness is a complex one and it is clear that there is no magic solution to solve all problems. There have been many contributions to the debate, including suggestions for the granting of debt forgiveness. As the Deputy will appreciate, this is simply not a realistic option. Solutions must be found on a case by case basis through open and meaningful engagement between the borrower and the lender. The planned reform of the bankruptcy and debt settlement arrangements by my colleague, the Minister for Justice and Equality and Defence, are also key elements in any consideration of potential policy options.
However, a new Working Group has been established under the Economic Management Council. Its remit is to consider the state of implementation of the main recommendations of the Expert Group on Mortgage Arrears and Personal Debt (which reported in November 2010) and to consider and develop further necessary actions to alleviate the mortgage over indebtedness problem. The Government will consider what further action is warranted once the Group has concluded its deliberations and reported to the Economic Management Council. I expect that the Group will complete its work in the very near future.
142 Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Finance his plans to introduce new initiatives, in addition to the existing measures which are in place, to support homeowners who are struggling to meet their mortgage repayments each month; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24991/11]
The Deputy might wish to note that, in addition to the existing measures which resulted from the report of the Expert Group on Mortgage Arrears and Personal Debt (published in November 2010), a new Working Group has been established under the Economic Management Council. Its remit is to consider the state of implementation of the main recommendations of the Expert Group and to consider and develop further necessary actions to alleviate the mortgage over indebtedness problem. I expect that the Group will complete its work in the very near future.
143 Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Finance when the Irish Central Bank last printed Irish punts currency; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25042/11]
Irish Pound bank notes were last produced in 2001. Euro notes and coins came into circulation on 1 January 2002. Irish Pound bank notes ceased to be legal tender on 9 February 2002.
144 Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding a course in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24925/11]
Officials in my Department have been in contact with Co. Clare VEC in relation to the matter referred to by the Deputy. I understand that the VEC is currently involved in discussions with the individual to enable the successful resolution of this issue in a manner that is satisfactory to both parties.
145 Deputy Olivia Mitchell asked the Minister for Education and Skills if a resolution of the special needs assistant issue in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Meath can be found as quickly as possible; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25181/11]
162 Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding a special needs assistant and educational opportunities in respect of a person (details supplied). [24569/11]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 145 and 162 together.
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 (SNAs) to schools to support children with special educational needs. The NCSE operates within my Department's criteria in allocating such support. This now includes a requirement for the NCSE to have regard to an overall cap on the number of SNA posts.
I understand that officials from the NCSE and from my Department have recently been in contact with the school concerned, in relation to the child referred to by the Deputy, regarding his requirements for care support and Irish Sign Language provision for the current school year. I understand that appropriate arrangements have now been agreed with the school authorities in this regard for this child.
146 Deputy Noel Coonan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the reason he failed to inform a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary of his or her rights to apply for partial redundancy knowing the person was entitled to same; the reason the person’s application for partial redundancy was subsequently refused; the reason the person has no right of appeal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24400/11]
An application for compensation for loss of hours (partial redundancy) was received on 28th June 2011 by my Department from the person referred to by the Deputy.
My Department's circular on redundancy arrangements for Special Needs Assistants was posted to all schools in 2006 and also published on my Department's website. As the SNA's employer, the Board of Management is responsible for following correct procedure in recruitment and any other matters regarding that person's contract.
Under the terms of the circular, this person is not entitled to a partial redundancy payment as the time limit for submitting an application (52 weeks after the date on which the hours were lost) had expired. My Department wrote directly to the person referred to by the Deputy on 28th June 2011 (and again on 12th July following further correspondence) informing the person of the position.
147 Deputy Noel Coonan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding a leaving certificate recheck application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; if he will provide a timeframe for a decision; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24401/11]
The State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations including organising the holding of examinations, supervising the examinations, making arrangements for the marking of work presented for examination and determining procedure to enable the review and appeal of results of examinations at the request of candidates.
In view of this I have forwarded your query to the State Examinations Commission for direct reply to you.
148 Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills the cost of centrally buying books for use by all primary and secondary schools and distributing them. [24405/11]
The information sought by the Deputy is not readily available to my Department, however one estimate from publishers' sources suggests that the Irish school book market is worth approximately €60 million per annum. At present, my Department contributes approximately €15 million of the total spend in this market through the provision of the school book grant to schools. Given the scale of the overall challenge facing the public finances, it is regrettable that increased spending in this area cannot be considered at this point.
Nevertheless, I share the concern expressed by many parents and organisations in relation to the high cost of school textbooks and the frequent rate of revisions made by book publishers.
I have adopted a number of approaches to this issue. As the Deputy will be aware, I recently met with educational book publishers, representatives of parents' organisations and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul regarding the cost of school textbooks. Subsequently, the publishers devised a voluntary Code of Practice and, while I welcome the Code as a significant step in the right direction, I believe that more should be done to reduce the price of textbooks.
Accordingly, I have proposed to the representatives of the textbook publishers: that the cover price of the most popular textbooks should be reduced; that a significant discount should be given to schools which purchase textbooks in bulk, in line with the discounts given to retailers of textbooks; that the practice of combining a conventional textbook and workbook in a single volume should be ended to allow students to re-use a textbook; and that support materials should be provided to teachers online, to minimise ancillary printing costs.
I am also keen to examine if there are ways to encourage schools, via the book grant scheme, to establish or maintain book rental schemes as I believe this to be one of the most effective ways of lowering the burden of the cost of school books. I have invited the National Parents Councils at primary and post-primary levels to provide me with examples of good practice of book rental schemes. Drawing on these and other examples, I intend to publish advice to schools on how best to establish and maintain textbook rental schemes in schools well in advance of the beginning of the next school year.
149 Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will consider looking at equity for job opportunities that may arise in post-primary schools for those who have been in substitution positions for a number of years by introducing a similar panel system as is in place for primary schools. [24407/11]
I have no plans to introduce a panel system at post-primary level nor do I think it would be appropriate to do so.
There are fundamental differences in the operation of the staffing arrangements between primary and post-primary levels. The range of individual subjects is a significant additional complicating factor at post- primary level.
150 Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will consider reviewing the higher diploma in education enforcement in all post primary schools including vocational education committees in view of the fact that there are concerns that across the board contracts of indefinite duration have been granted to teachers without higher diplomas. [24408/11]
It is the policy of my Department that only a teacher registered with the Teaching Council, and who has qualifications appropriate to the sector and suitable to the post for which he or she is proposed, should be employed in a school.
The Teaching Council considers applications to be registered as Post Primary school teachers under Regulation 4 of the Teaching Council Registration Regulations, which were approved in November 2009. For the purpose of registration under regulation 4 up to 1 April 2013, the Council requires that an applicant have a primary degree or equivalent which is considered suitable and a suitable qualification in post primary teacher education. Teachers employed in the vocational education sector are not required, at this time, to have a H.Dip qualification in order to be considered qualified. The provision related to a post-primary teacher qualification does not generally apply to a person applying to register as a teacher in a VEC school until after 1 April 2013. Regulation 4 also provides for the acceptance of qualifications, which in the opinion of the Council are of an equivalent standard to the above and sufficient for registration.
151 Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Education and Skills the way he will ensure that his request to schools to employ younger teachers is being implemented in view of the fact that concerns continue that retired teachers are still being employed in some schools and that younger qualified teachers are losing out. [24409/11]
Any decision to employ a retired teacher is a local decision made by the school authorities and not my Department. Circular 0031/2011 is aimed at ensuring that boards of management and principals only resort to employing a retired teacher in very limited circumstances. It requires a school principal to keep a record as to why a retired teacher had to be employed to cover a short-term absence. The principal must also report to the school's board of management on the instances where this arises.
Abatement of pension is applied to retired teachers where the amount of pay together with the pension being received is greater than the pay on which the pension is based. The effect of this is to reduce or sometimes stop pension where a retiree returns to teaching. In addition, from 1 January 2011, teachers who are in receipt of an occupational pension and who return to teach are remunerated at the first point of the reduced salary scales instead of their pre-retirement personal rate of pay. These provide significant disincentives to teachers on pension from returning to teach after their retirement.
152 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will give consideration to an application by a school (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24416/11]
The school referred to by the Deputy has recently submitted an application for additional funding in relation to a building project ongoing at the school.
The application is currently being examined by officials in the Planning and Building Unit of my Department who will be liaising with the school authorities with a view to obtaining more detailed information in this regard. On receipt of this information, a decision will be made and the school authorities notified accordingly.
153 Deputy Patrick O’Donovan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if emergency and additional funds can be sought by schools that encounter unforeseen difficulties in their building projects. [24463/11]
School authorities are responsible for managing the delivery of their devolved building projects and ensuring that the project is delivered within the approved budget. To assist schools in this process, my Department provides Technical Guidance documents which are available on my Department's website at www.education.ie.
There can be occasions where a school's building project, while remaining within the scope of works approved by my Department, encounters unforeseen difficulties. In cases where these difficulties cannot be addressed from the approved budget request for additional funding will be considered on its own merits.
Where the scope of the projects has been increased above what has been approved by my Department all additional costs associated with this increase must be funded by the school authority.
154 Deputy Paudie Coffey asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to apply to the European Globalisation Fund and European Social Fund for assistance in respect of TalkTalk workers; the levels of support that he will give to assist redundant workers in TalkTalk Waterford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24492/11]
European Globalisation Fund: My Department is currently investigating whether all the relevant criteria have been met in conformity with EGF Regulations 1927/2006 and 546/2009 to enable the Irish authorities to make a sustainable application to the European Commission for EGF co-financing of active labour market measures in support of workers being made redundant at the TalkTalk company in Co. Waterford.
In particular, an understanding and explanation of the precise reasons for the proposed redundancies and the total number of persons being made redundant, including any transfers to related employment elsewhere in the EU, are required in the context of the rules governing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund. All relevant avenues of information are being pursued by officials in my Department in this regard.
European Social Fund:
I understand that whilst FÁS may provide tailored training programmes (which may be part-funded by the European Social Fund) in respect of particular groups of redundant workers, the European Social Fund itself is not designed to make specific interventions such as may be envisaged in the case of the TalkTalk workforce.
Assistance to be supplied by FÁS:
FÁS has made the following services available to TalkTalk employees:—
Top level agreement with the company on responsibilities and actions. (Meeting with the Company took place on Friday, 9th September.)
Presentations to all redundant workers on FÁS services, interventions and supports.
Preparation of a ‘Skills Analysis Report' by FÁS based on identified workers' needs and local opportunities.
Referral by FÁS of redundant workers to jobs, training courses or other options.
Establishment by FÁS of special or customised courses where necessary.
On-going support and action to keep redundant workers ‘in touch with the labour market'.
Following the internal company consultation process, which will commence immediately, FÁS Employment Services staff will meet with TalkTalk management and staff representatives, and formulate a plan of action to deliver FÁS services and supports to all staff being made redundant in Autumn 2011. Such services and supports will include:—
On-site presentations to all staff on FÁS services and supports.
Advice on setting up a resource centre, in-house, (to facilitate staff in the career guidance needs and job search activities).
Provision of a range of pre-redundancy and where necessary post-redundancy training courses to assist all staff in achieving relevant skills updating, which in turn will enable them to competitively compete in the labour market.
Assistance to be supplied by Skillnets:
Skillnets Ltd, through 2 of its networks has, since 9th September being engaging with TalkTalk in Waterford. The 2 networks are Waterford Chamber Skillnet, who are a mixed sector regional network based in the Waterford area and the Contact Centre Management Association Skillnet, which covers the Contact and Call Centre sector in Ireland.
The initial objective of this engagement is for these networks to identify the training needs of the workforce in order to devise a plan of action that can assist them in their search for new employment. This might involve upskilling their current contact centre skills and/or providing training opportunities to enable them to apply for jobs in other sectors.
This action plan will form the basis of an application for funding to Skillnets Ltd. It is expected that a decision on this funding will be made by the end of September.
Contact Centre Management Association Skillnet, along with its member companies held a Jobfair on Wednesday 14th September to advertise c. 150 job vacancies to TalkTalk staff. Skillnets Ltd is liaising with FÁS to ensure a joint approach to the significant challenges facing the TalkTalk workforce. Joint briefing sessions have been organised for TalkTalk staff on October 20th-22nd.
155 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the procedure to be followed in respect of college fees in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24499/11]
The position is that under my Department's Free Fees Scheme, students who have previously pursued but have not completed a course of third level study and subsequently resume third level studies are not eligible for free fees for the equivalent period of time spent on the first course of study where the third level course concerned attracted exchequer funding. In such cases exchequer funding includes fees, maintenance, tax relief, subsidy towards course cost etc.
As the student referred to by the Deputy was entitled to avail of tax relief on the fees paid in respect of their first course of study, they are not eligible under the Scheme for a second period of study for the equivalent period of time spent on that first course of study.
Where undergraduate students do not meet the eligibility criteria of the Free Fees initiative such students must pay the appropriate tuition fee as determined by the relevant third level institution.
Section 473A, Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997, as amended by Section 11 of the Finance Act 2011, provides for tax relief, at the standard rate of tax, for tuition fees paid in respect of approved courses at approved colleges of higher education including certain approved undergraduate and postgraduate courses in E.U. Member States and in non EU countries. Details are available on the Revenue Commissioners' website at www.revenue.ie.
156 Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he foresees an increase in the student-teacher ratio here; the measures he will put in place to reduce class sizes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24534/11]
At this point I do not propose to give any specific commitment on the allocation of teachers to schools for the 2012/13 school year.
The number of teaching posts that we can afford to fund in schools is a matter that I will have to consider with my colleagues in Cabinet in the context of the next budget and meeting our obligations under the EU/IMF Programme.
The Government will endeavour to protect frontline education services as best as possible. However, this must be done within the context of bringing our overall public expenditure into line with what we can afford as a country. All areas of Government will have to manage on a reduced level of resources. The challenge will be to ensure that the resources that can be provided are used to maximum effect to achieve the best possible outcome for pupils.
157 Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of classrooms in primary schools here that have more than 30 children and the number of classrooms in secondary schools that have more than 30 children. [24535/11]
Detailed class size data at primary level is available in the Statistics area of my Department's website at the following link: http://www.education.ie/home/home.jsp?pcategory=17216&ecategory=47122&language=EN.
Class size data at second level are not available.
158 Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide details of all renovation works carried out on primary and secondary schools here in 2010 and to date in 2011; and the amount each renovation works costs. [24536/11]
The total amount expended in the primary sector on renovation (large scale refurbishments, emergency works, summer works schemes) amounted to €120.7m in 2010 and to date in 2011 amounts to €39.2m (inclusive of jobs initiative).
In the post-primary sector the total amount expended on renovation (large scale refurbishments, emergency works, summer works schemes and the jobs initiative) amounted to €92.7m in 2010 and to date in 2011 amounts to €32.3m.
Details are provided in the attachments (nine) of the schools that:
(a) incurred expenditure on large scale refurbishment projects in 2010 and to date in 2011;
(b) incurred expenditure on emergency works approved in 2010 and approved to date in 2011;
(c) incurred expenditure on the summer works scheme approved in 2010 and the summer works scheme and jobs initiative scheme approved in 2011.
The attachments do not include details of the schools that incurred expenditure in 2010 or to date in 2011 in respect of emergency works or the summer works schemes approved prior to 2010. However, the actual expenditure incurred in 2010 or to date in 2011 on pre-2010 approved schemes is included in the total amounts given above.
I draw the Deputy's attention to the Grant Scheme for Minor Works to National School Properties that issued in November 2010 to all primary schools with full recognition. This grant is spent primarily on the physical infrastructure of schools and cost €28.2m.
The information has been forwarded separately to the Deputy.
