Written Answers Nos. 237 to 254
237. Deputy John Paul Phelan asked the Minister for Finance the amount of revenue raised in 2013 and 2014 from value added tax charged on newly constructed and sold residential properties; the number of new residential units involved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6061/15]
View answer238. Deputy John Paul Phelan asked the Minister for Finance the likely cost, in terms of tax foregone, of reducing the rate of value added tax on newly constructed and sold residential properties from 13.5% to 9%, based on the number of these units on which value added tax was charged in 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6062/15]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 237 and 238 together.
I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the total yield of domestic VAT revenue attributed to the construction industry as a whole in 2013, which is the latest year for which the necessary detailed data are available, is estimated to be of the order of €72 million. It should be noted that this receipt figure is net of any refunds of tax that were repaid during the year. Equivalent figures for 2014 are not yet available.
I am also informed by the Revenue Commissioners that, as the information furnished on VAT returns does not require the yield from particular activities or sectors of trade to be identified, it is not possible to estimate the VAT yield for the specific activities mentioned by the Deputy in his questions. Accordingly, nor am I in a position to provide the projected figures for the reduction of the VAT rate applicable.
239. Deputy Joan Collins asked the Minister for Finance the new Central Bank of Ireland's loan-to-value and loan-to-income limits (details supplied). [6113/15]
View answerThe Central Bank of Ireland has now announced the details of its new macro prudential regulations for residential mortgage lending. These provide for the following measures;-
Principal dwelling house (PDH) mortgages are subject to a Loan to Value (LTV) limit of 80% of the value of the property;
- For first time buyers, the LTV limit in respect of a PDH mortgage is 90% up to a value of €220,000 and 80% on any excess value over that amount;
- Buy to Let (BTL) mortgages are subject to an LTV limit of 70%;
- PDH mortgage loans are also subject to a loan to income (LTI) limit of 3.5 times gross income.
The central Bank has informed me that lenders, however will have a certain limited discretion to exceed these limits if they so choose. These macro prudential measures are complementary to existing micro-prudential supervision and to lenders' own risk management practices. They are not intended to capture credit risk associated with a particular loan or borrower, nor to replace or substitute for a lender's existing internal credit assessment policies and procedures, but rather to reinforce and strengthen the existing suite of credit risk mitigation tools employed by prudent lenders. Credit institutions will have internal policies in relation to specific risks or products and individual banks are free to adopt stricter measures as part of their underwriting decisions and their individual risk management practices.
240. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance , further to Parliamentary Question No. 234 of 4 February 2015, if he will provide in tabular form, the expected repayments of capital from Greece of the €347,437,121.03 owed to Ireland. [6134/15]
View answerThe first capital repayment on the loan to Greece is scheduled for 15 June 2020 for €2,998,730.51. Thereafter capital repayments of €4,342,989.01 are scheduled to be repaid at three-monthly intervals, the first one scheduled for 15 September 2020 and the last one scheduled for 15 March 2040. A final payment is scheduled for 15 June 2040 of €1,344,258.73.
241. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance the total contribution of Greece to the European Union loans Ireland has availed of. [6135/15]
View answerIreland's programme funding did not include any element of bilateral or guaranteed loans from Greece.
Ireland's three-year €85 billion EU/IMF financial support programme was comprised of €67.5 billlion in external support, and €17.5 billion from its own resources.
The external support under the programme was provided by a number of lenders:
- €22.5 billion from the IMF Extended Fund Facility;
- €22.5 billion from the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (EFSM);
- €17.7 billion from the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF); and
- €4.8 billion in the form of bilateral loans from the United Kingdom (€3.8bn), Sweden (€0.6bn) and Denmark (€0.4bn).
All programme funding was drawn down.
Of these, the EFSM and EFSF are EU and Euro-area instruments respectively.
The EFSM is an EU 28 facility established under Council Regulation 407/2010 of 11 May 2010. It is a funding facility amounting to €60 billion which is guaranteed by the EU budget. There is therefore no individual Member State guarantee.
The EFSF was incorporated on 7 June 2010 for the purpose of providing stability support to Euro Area Member States in the form of guaranteed loans of up to €440 billion within a limited period of time. It includes a provision that countries in receipt of support may step out as guarantors.
The EFSF has provided programme assistance to Greece, Ireland and Portugal. The assistance was financed by the EFSF through the issuance of bonds and other debt instruments on capital markets.
Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Cyprus stepped out as EFSF guarantors when they entered their own programmes. On that basis, Greece is not one of the guarantors of Ireland's EFSF loans.
242. Deputy Seán Kyne asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the concerns that while hire purchase agreements have been regulated under Irish law since 1946, the providers of such agreements and the general activity is not regulated, and as a result, the consumer is placed in an invidious position; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6139/15]
View answerBoth the Central Bank and the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) (formerly the National Consumer Agency) have certain functions and legal powers in relation to the provision of hire-purchase agreements.
The CCPC has specific responsibility for the authorisation of credit intermediaries under the terms of the Consumer Credit Act 1995. This includes those who act as an agent for undertakings providing hire purchase agreements. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission further regulates the advertising of credit facilities by authorised credit intermediaries. To obtain an authorisation, the intermediary must hold a letter of recognition for each undertaking for which he is an intermediary, a current tax clearance certificate, and be a fit an proper person to carry on the business of a credit intermediary. All credit intermediaries must display an authorised copy of their authorisation prominently in their premises and they appear in the CCPC's online register.
There are no legislative requirements that oblige hire purchase providers to seek an authorisation from the Central Bank for the provision of hire purchase agreements to consumers and or to small businesses. Notwithstanding this, hire purchase providers are required to comply with the relevant provisions of the Consumer Credit Act 1995 when providing hire purchase agreements to consumers acting outside their business. Research is currently being carried out on behalf of the Central Bank in order to obtain information on the hire-purchase market, such as information about the number and identities of firms providing hire purchase agreements, the purpose and features of the agreements, the level of commitment by the consumer, the level of arrears and default, and the level and type of complaints.
In the case of small and medium enterprises, where hire purchase is provided by a bank under its banking license, the bank is required to comply with the Central Bank s Code of Conduct for Business Lending to Small and Medium Enterprises.
The remit of the Financial Services Ombudsman includes complaints in relation to the providers of hire purchase agreements under Regulation 2 of the Central Bank Act 1942 (Financial Services Ombudsman) Regulations 2005 (SI 191 of 2005). The Financial Services Ombudsman is a statutory officer who deals independently with complaints from consumers about their individual dealings with financial service providers that have not been resolved by the providers after they have been through the internal complaints resolution systems of the providers.
243. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance the way the liquidation process of the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation has affected Ireland's debt to gross domestic profit ratio in general terms, and in figures, for 2013 and 2014; and a prediction for the effect in 2015. [6144/15]
View answerUnder ESA 2010, the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC) was reclassified as being within general government as of July 2011 and its debt was consolidated into general government debt. This resulted in an increase of 12.2% to the general government debt to GDP ratio in 2011. The table below sets out the impact of the reclassification of IBRC on the general government debt to GPD ratio for the years 2011 - 2015.

244. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if there is a minimum allowable font size for type in State publications; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5489/15]
View answerThere is no minimum point size used in printed State publications. The readability of Acts; Statutory Instruments and Reports published by Government Departments; Offices and Agencies is enhanced by the use of twelve point font or greater.
245. Deputy John Lyons asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if public servants on the new personal pension contribution salary scale will be considered for pay restoration and increases, in the event of discussions with unions on pay increases. [5619/15]
View answerThere are two measures which currently underpin public service pay and pensions policy: the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Acts (or FEMPI) and the Haddington Road Agreement (HRA). The nature of the Financial Emergency Measures legislation is that the powers granted by the Oireachtas under the legislation are temporary in nature and are predicated on the continuing financial emergency in the State. The HRA is due to last for three years from 1 July 2013 and, in the Government's view, sets the parameters for pay policy in the public service for that period.
The public service unions have indicated their intention, should the State's financial circumstances permit, to lodge a pay claim. If such a claim is made the Government will of course have to consider it, in line with the prevailing fiscal position. Any ensuing discussions will encompass all public servants across all salary scales, including those paying a personal pension contribution which has been required of public servants appointed since the mid-1990s. The legal position concerning the financial emergency legislation, which has underpinned the public service pay and pension reductions to date, will also have to be addressed in that context while ensuring that this country has a sustainable pay arrangement over the longer term.
246. Deputy John Lyons asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the difference between the higher scale and the standard scale in the public service; and the way an employee is assigned to either scale. [5620/15]
View answerHigher payscales were developed under the Programme for Competitiveness and Work 1994 to 1996 which allowed civil service Departments / Offices to expend 1% of their payroll costs for purposes of achieving greater organisational productivity. The 1% may be applied either by way of an enhanced payscale on the existing standard one or the payment of an allowance to individual officers. Departments / Offices have flexibility in the application of this arrangement having regard to certain criteria being met on the part of the individual officers concerned and which may include: contribution to the Department or Office, experience and suitability.
Civil Service payscales can be accessed via my Department's website at www.circulars.gov.ie.
247. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform further to Parliamentary Question No. 209 of 21 October 2014, if he will provide the details of works that have been carried out by the Office of Public Works around the flood risk area of the Tolka river in Dublin Central; if he will provide an update on the discussions between his Department, the OPW and the Insurance Federation of Ireland with regard to the problems residents are still having with insurance companies in flood risk areas; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4706/15]
View answerA flood relief scheme which included works in the local authority areas of Dublin City, Fingal and Meath County Councils was carried out on the River Tolka over the period 2003 to 2012. Works in the City area were completed by 2009 with approximately €7.5m expended in the City area out of a total of €19.3m. In general, the works were carried out directly by the Office of Public Works (OPW) with some aspects being undertaken by external contractors who were employed by the relevant Local Authority who acted as the Contracting Authorities in their area.
The works undertaken were as a result of the recommendations of the River Tolka Study completed in 2003. The recommendations were made in order to provide the standard 1 in 100 year level of protection for properties against extreme flood events which applies to the OPW flood relief schemes, i.e. a flood with a 1% probability of occurring in any given year.
The works carried out in the City area included:
- Replacement of Woodville Road footbridge,
- Replacement of Distillery Road Bridge,
- Construction of walls
- Construction of embankments
- Widening of River channel
- General River cleaning
- Lowering of Weirs
- Construction of Fish passes
- Capping of walls
- Construction of pumping station
The OPW is satisfied that the works carried out fulfil the intention of providing the standard flood protection to all properties in the City area highlighted in the Study.
In March 2014, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Insurance Ireland, the representative body for the insurance industry in Ireland, and the Office of Public Works. This Memorandum sets out principles of how the two organisations will work together to ensure that appropriate and relevant information on completed OPW flood defence schemes is provided to insurers to facilitate, to the greatest extent possible, the availability to the public of insurance against the risk of flooding. The Memorandum came into effect on 1 June, 2014 with an initial tranche of data provided by the OPW to Insurance Ireland in respect of 12 completed flood defence schemes (including the Tolka scheme in Dublin city) and showing the design, extent and nature of the protection offered by these works. Since then, data on a further four completed flood relief schemes has been communicated to Insurance Ireland in the agreed format and data on further completed schemes will be provided in due course. The arrangements set out in the Memorandum represent an ongoing process which, over time, should lead to an improvement in the availability of flood insurance cover. The text of the Memorandum of Understanding and further information on the process is available on the OPW website at http://www.opw.ie/en/completed/.
Since the signing of the Memorandum, contact has continued between OPW and Insurance Ireland. The implementation of the Memorandum has been discussed at a number of meetings at both official and Ministerial level involving Insurance Ireland, the Office of Public Works and the Department of Finance.
Early indications are that flood risk insurance is widely available in areas where flood relief schemes have been completed by the OPW. A definitive breakdown on the provision of flood risk insurance will not be available until after June of this year, when a full renewal cycle has been completed following the coming into effect of the Memorandum.
The OPW and the Department of Finance will continue contact, including meetings, with Insurance Ireland to review the operation of the Memorandum of Understanding.
248. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will report on the size of the fund that would be required to finance all Exchequer funded pensions currently in payment if they had been financed on a funded basis rather than on a current account basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5748/15]
View answerAn actuarial valuation was carried out last year by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to estimate the accrued liability in respect of Public Service occupational pensions. A report on the actuarial exercise carried out last year is contained on the Department of Public Expenditure web site at http://www.per.gov.ie/public-service-pensions-accrued-liability/.
The key result of the exercise is that the total accrued liability in respect of Public Service occupational pensions is now estimated at €98bn as at December 2012. This compares with the previous estimate of €116bn for 2009 which was arrived at by the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG). Therefore, over the three years from 2009 to 2012 the liability has fallen by €18bn or by 16%. The main reasons for the reduction were the pay and pension cuts since 2009 and the freeze in pay and pension rates until after the Haddington Road Agreement.
This figure of €98bn represents the present value of all expected future superannuation payments to current staff and their spouses in respect of service to December 2012, plus the liability for all future payments to current and preserved pensioners and to their spouses. The pension payments to discharge this liability will therefore be spread over the next 70 years or so.
Historically Public Service pension increases were on the basis of pay parity i.e. in line with the pay of the grade from which the public servant retired. The figure of €98bn above was based on pay parity applying in future. An alternative accrued liability figure was also estimated; this was based on pension increases in line with CPI (after 2016) and the associated accrued liability figure was €82bn.
The accrued liability figures set out above provide a broad indicator of the size of fund that would be needed to provide for Public Service pension benefits in the event that a fund were to be established for public service occupational pensions. In contrast, future pension payments will be paid for on an ongoing basis from the State's income, which also includes the employee pension contributions made by serving public servants. In assessing the affordability and sustainability of public service pension costs met on a "pay as you go" basis, a key measure in addition to the overall liability is the expected level of actual total annual spending on pensions in future years relative to an indicator of income like GDP. Latest projections are for the total expenditure on public service pensions, if the link to pay is maintained, to increase from 2.3% of GDP in 2015 to 2.9% in 2030 and then to fall steadily to 1.5% of GDP by 2060. This reduction in annual costs in the longer term is largely due to the introduction by the current Government of the new Single Public Service Pension Scheme, which changed the benefits for public servants appointed from 1 January 2013.
249. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will report on the level of funding that would be required to fund the pension entitlements of departmental Secretaries General, assistant secretaries, principal officers and heads of State agencies, if their pensions were being financed on a funded basis rather then a current account basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5749/15]
View answerPublic Service superannuation schemes are funded on a pay as you go basis and therefore my Department does not have the information sought by the Deputy.
An actuarial valuation was carried out last year by my Department to update the accrued liability in respect of Public Service occupational pensions generally. The calculation underpinning this exercise was carried out on an aggregate basis. There was no estimation of, accrued liability or funding requirements in respect of individual grades.
250. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of young unemployed persons who participated in fixed-term contracts through PeoplePoint; the number who were successful in obtaining permanent positions thereafter or who have been placed on a panel; the number of unsuccessful participants; the extent to which their future employment prospects can be enhanced as a result of their participation in the project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5765/15]
View answerPeoplePoint is the HR and Pensions Administration Shared Service for the Civil Service. It was established in March 2013 and currently provides services to employees across 21 Civil Service organisations. Once all transitions are complete, PeoplePoint will provide services across 38 organisations.
Wherever possible, staff already employed on a permanent basis across the Civil and Public Service were transferred into posts in PeoplePoint. Since 2012, 172 fixed-term contracts were issued to Temporary Clerical Officers to work in PeoplePoint. This was necessary to ensure that rapidly emerging business needs were met.
Last year, as there was a wider need for Clerical Officers right across the Civil Service, the Public Appointments Service (PAS) conducted an open recruitment competition to establish a panel of candidates for permanent Clerical Officer posts. Anyone, including staff assigned to PeoplePoint, was entitled to apply for Clerical Officer posts. This process was fully transparent. 18 Temporary Clerical Officers working in PeoplePoint were successful in this competition and have been appointed on the usual probationary basis. Only one candidate working in PeoplePoint declined the offer of a permanent post.
PeoplePoint is currently in the process of transitioning this temporary structure to a permanent Clerical Officer structure. This process will take six months in order to ensure business continuity and to assist with the integration of new clerical staff. Consequently some longer serving Temporary Clerical Officers will remain in their positions until 28 August 2015. For those staff on fixed-term contracts who are leaving, structured support is being offered to assist them with future employment, including guidance on CV and interview preparation. The skills and experience gained while working in PeoplePoint can be added to their curriculum vitaes.
Some staff who are leaving have already been offered other roles.
251. Deputy Joe Carey asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the position regarding a project (details supplied) in County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5770/15]
View answerThe Office of Public Works assessment of the application from Clare County Council for funding under the Minor Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal Protection Scheme to carry out works at this location has been ongoing and I am advised that the OPW expects to be in a position to notify the Council of its decision very shortly.
252. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the reason political parties are entitled to keep the allowances for Deputies who have lost the party Whip and left those parties; if he will estimate the current, total amount of those allowances since the Deputies concerned discarded or lost their party Whip; if there are instances where parties have returned these moneys; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5877/15]
View answerThis issue was debated extensively in both Houses last year during the various stages of the Oireachtas (Ministerial and Parliamentary Offices) (Amendment) Act 2014. I set out the position very clearly at the time regarding the rationale underpinning the allowance and those reasons have not changed.
My Department does not routinely monitor the number of members of the Houses of the Oireachtas who have lost or regained a parliamentary party whip during a Dail session, and therefore does not have the information necessary to prepare the estimate sought by the Deputy. One parliamentary party currently does not claim the full amount provided for under the legislation.
253. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the reason he has not sought the opening of formal negotiations on giving effect to the various elements of the Civil Service renewal plan with the public service unions; if his attention has been drawn to the unions that have indicated their willingness to participate when his Department issued the prerequisite invitation to discussions; the delay in opening implementation negotiations on this priority issue (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5962/15]
View answerI published the Civil Service Renewal Plan along with the Taoiseach on 30 October last. The Plan was informed by a year-long engagement and consultation process which involved some 2,000 staff and stakeholders. It brings together the work of the Independent Panel on Strengthening Civil Service Accountability and Performance and the work of the Civil Service Renewal Taskforce, an internal group of senior managers. Members of the civil service trade unions attended various engagement events and in addition my officials briefed trade union officials about the renewal work. As implementation of the ambitious prgramme of change in the Plan proceeds over its three year timeframe there will be further engagement with the civil service trade unions as and when appropriate.
254. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the amount of funds that will be allocated this year for the continuing programme of storm damage remediation and prevention work in 2015; the amount of this that relates to work sanctioned in 2014 but not completed; if he will provide details of these projects; when details of the projects to be approved in 2015 will be announced; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6033/15]
View answerThe Government Decision of 11 February 2014 allocated total funding of up to €69.5 million for clean-up, repair and restoration works in relation to public infrastructure that was damaged in the period 13 December 2013 to 6 January 2014. Of this sum of €69.5 million, up to €19.6 million was allocated for repair of existing coastal protection and flood defences based on submissions and cost estimates made by the local authorities concerned to the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government(DoECLG). This funding for repair of damaged coastal protection and flood defence infrastructure is being made available to the local authorities via the Office of Public Works (OPW) based on programmes of works submitted by the local authorities. The Departments of the Environment, Community and Local Government, Transport, Tourism and Sport and Agriculture, Food and the Marine are responsible for the approval of programmes of work and the disbursement of funding for repair of other damaged public infrastructure such as roads, piers, harbours and other community facilities and amenities, and would be in a position to provide information to the Deputy in that regard.
Based on the programmes of works of repairs to coastal protection and flood defence infrastructure that were submitted by local authorities, total funding of €19.070 million was approved by the OPW for 176 projects that were deemed to be within the scope of the works covered by the Government Decision. The prioritisation and progression of projects is entirely a matter for the local authorities concerned.
To the end of 2014, OPW paid local authorities a total €7.675m of the total allocation based on draw down claims submitted by the local authorities for funding in respect of projects that have been completed, are under construction, or where contracts for the works have been placed. A substantial part of the approved funding was not drawn down in 2014 due to a variety of factors. The local authorities are continuing to progress with works and further draw down requests are expected to be submitted and processed in 2015. Provision has been included in the OPW's 2015 Vote to allow local authorities to draw down the unexpended balance of funding this year. The remaining total funding available for draw down by local authorities in 2015 is €11.395m for projects approved for funding by the OPW in 2014 but for which no funding or partial funding has been drawn down to date by local authorities. As all programmes of works were approved for funding in 2014 there is no requirement for a further approval process in 2015.
