437. Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the progress that has been made by the Valuation Office in the national commercial rate revaluation; the areas which have been reviewed to date; when the review will be completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38792/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Valuation Office is currently undertaking a systematic programme of revaluing, for rates purposes, all industrial and commercial properties in the State. The immediate objective of the national revaluation programme is to ensure that the first revaluation of all rating authority areas is conducted as soon as possible. Revaluation is conducted across all relevant properties in one or more rating authority areas at the same time. However, implementation of the national programme cannot occur across the entire country simultaneously and the programme must, accordingly, be operated on a phased basis. Following the first revaluation, subsequent revaluations of each rating authority area will then be carried out on a cyclical basis no sooner than five years and no later than ten years after the first revaluation (Section 25 of the Valuation Act 2001).
Section 9(10) of the Valuation Act 2001 provides that the Commissioner of Valuation is independent in the performance of his functions. Section 19(1) of the said Act empowers the Commissioner to make a Valuation Order specifying a rating authority area over which a revaluation is to be conducted, after consultation with the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government and the rating authority concerned.
Steady progress is being made on the National Revaluation Programme. Between 2007 and 2010 the three Rating Authority areas of South Dublin, Fingal and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown were revalued comprising c.17,700 commercial properties which represents approximately 22% of the national rateable valuation base. Additionally, there are currently six revaluation projects in progress which include the Rating Authority areas of Dublin City, Waterford City and County and Dungarvan Town together with Limerick City and County comprising c. 38,000 commercial properties or 32.6% of the valuation base. Furthermore, the statutory consultation process, required before a valuation order can be made is under way with a further five rating authorities, Galway City Council, Kilkenny County Council, Kilkenny Borough Council, Carlow County Council and Carlow Town Council. Decisions in relation to a further set of rating authorities for revaluation are currently under consideration by the Valuation Office.
The current position as regards projects in train or pending is set out in the following table:

438. Deputy Ann Phelan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform his plans for the former Garda station in Ballyragget in County Kilkenny (details supplied). [37029/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe OPW is currently assessing the property options arising in respect of all closed Garda Stations including the former Garda Station in Ballyragget, Co. Kilkenny. The stated policy is to identify if other State Bodies, including government departments and the wider public sector has a use for the property.If there is no other State use for a property the OPW will then consider disposing of the property on the open market, if and when conditions prevail, in order to generate much needed revenue for the Exchequer. If no State requirement is identified or if a decision is taken not to dispose of a particular property the OPW would consider, community involvement subject to the receipt of an appropriate business case which would indicate that the community/voluntary group has the means to insure, maintain and manage the property.
No proposal has been received from any community/voluntary group.
439. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the steps he and his Department intend to take to ensure semi-State bodies and other organisations and bodies under various Government Departments advertise vacant positions through the Public Appointments Service and www.publicjobs.ie that is in a clear and transparent manner; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37032/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Public Appointments Service already advertises a large number of public service posts on publicjobs.ie when requested to by the relevant body. My Department promotes the availability of this service to public service bodies on an on-going basis.
Filling of vacancies in State Agencies and Commercial Semi-State Bodies is often a matter for individual organisations and Boards. The Public Appointments Service has advised me that they would be pleased to discuss the advertising of vacancies on publicjobs.ie with any State Agency or Organisation.
440. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will list the Government buildings which have been fitted with reverse osmosis filters to the water supply. [37053/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraMany buildings in the portfolio of the Office of Public Works have been fitted with water filters. These break down to two main types: large filter systems usually on the mains water supply; and small local filter systems on individual water outlets. Usually the smaller systems have been installed and are maintained by the occupants of the buildings. Larger systems would be installed and maintained by the OPW. Both large and small filters may use reverse osmosis.
441. Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he is considering amending the Freedom of Information Act to include companies that are owned by local authorities. [37116/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraSection 6 of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Bill 2013 contains a generic definition of public body which will enable FOI to apply to all public bodies unless specifically exempt in whole or in part. Essentially, FOI is being extended to the widest possible definition of public bodies, including a number of significant high profile bodies which have been excluded since the legislation was first enacted. Provision is also being made in the Bill (Section 7) to allow for the application of FOI, either in whole or in part, to non-public bodies which are in receipt of significant funding from the State. This will be progressed in due course by way of Ministerial Order subject to consultation with the relevant Departments to agree on criteria to select bodies which are a priority for bringing within the FOI regime.
As regards the companies that are owned by local authorities, the position is that, while it would not be possible for me to state definitively that all of the companies that are owned by local authorities will be covered by FOI under the new legislation, it appears on the face of it that such companies will be automatically comprehended by the very broad definition of public body contained in Section 6 of the FOI Bill, in particular Section 6(1)(f), subject to the appropriate commencement period provided for in Section 1(3) of the Bill. Certainly no exemption has been provided for such companies. Confirmation of the position in any particular instance should presumably be available from the relevant local authority based on its knowledge of the specific legal structure that is in place.
442. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of expressions of interest he and his Department received from persons interested in being appointed to the Office of the Ombudsman following on from public advertisement for the position over the summer; if he is satisfied with the procedure undertaken to seek the suitable candidates for the position; if the Public Appointments Service was used for this purpose and if not, the reason for same; if interview took place; the number of persons interviewed and by whom; if he intends to bring forward candidates for the position to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions for scrutiny and questioning prior to the approval of a candidate by the Government; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37127/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe process to be followed in the appointment of a new Ombudsman is set out in the Ombudsman Act 1980, as amended. This appointment is made by the President following nomination by resolution of each House of the Oireachtas. Since the Freedom of Information Act 1997 came into force, the Ombudsman has also held the office of Information Commissioner. Appointment to the post is by a similar process to that of the Ombudsman.
The practice in the past under previous administrations was for the relevant Minister to ask the Government to note the name of the proposed nominee for the position prior to the resolutions before both Houses of the Oireachtas. I considered that the most satisfactory approach to the nomination process was to invite expressions of interest for the appointment by public advertisement. It was not felt necessary to involve the Public Appointments Service in the nomination process. Some 35 expressions of interest have been received and the assessment of candidates is being undertaken at present.
The Ombudsman (Amendment) Act 2012 provides that the appointment may be preceded by consideration by a committee of the Houses of the Oireachtas as may be designated by the relevant Minister. It is my intention that once a nominee has been approved by the Government a referral will be made to the Public Services Oversight and Petitions Committee.
443. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will consider including Bus Átha Cliath - Dublin Bus-Bus Éireann, Coillte Teoranta, Commissioners for Irish Lights, amongst others that are currently exempted under section 1, Part 2 in the Freedom of Information Bill 2013 for the purpose of transparency of public funding; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37231/13]
Amharc ar fhreagra444. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the reason he has included only Iarnród Éireann in the Freedom of Information Bill 2013 and not other transportation agencies such as Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37232/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 443 and 444 together.
I believe that commercial state bodies should not, in general, be subject to FOI requirements because of the uneven competitive playing field that would be created in circumstances that commercial state bodies operating in a competitive market were subject to FOI but their privately-owned market competitors were not. This would be expected to have an adverse impact on the commercial position of the state body in question, which would not be in the public interest or consistent with the need to safeguard the State’s economic and financial interests. It was on that basis that three of the companies mentioned in the questions - Coillte Teoranta, Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann were excluded from the application of FOI under the new legislation.
There is an argument that commercial state bodies operating in a monopoly or near-monopoly position would not be subject to competitive disadvantage and for that reason should be subject to FOI. On that basis, I consulted with relevant colleagues about the potential of including such commercial state companies within the scope of FOI. Following consideration of the views of my colleagues, I decided that Irish Rail should be brought within FOI now but that the other such commercial state bodies should not be included at this stage. I intend, however, to review this position in the medium-term. As the exemption for the commercial state bodies is provided in a Schedule to the legislation, I will be in a position to amend the position by way of Order if required.
I also considered the question of including the Commissioners of Irish Lights (CIL) within the remit of FOI. CIL operates throughout the whole Island of Ireland and although it is not strictly a North/South body, it operates very much on an all Ireland basis. Consequently, with the agreement of the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I decided that it would be more appropriate for CIL to be subject to the FOI Code of Practice in operation for North/South bodies which has been approved by the North South Ministerial Council and which has regard to the FOI legislation operating in both the UK and Ireland. I understand that the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport will be progressing this matter in the near future.
445. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the total cost of all media advertising to his Department for each of the past five years; the efforts his Department is making to ensure that local media, print and radio, as well as national media are being supported by his Department's budget; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37483/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn response to the Deputy’s question since its inception in July 2011 my department has spent €3,719.83 in 2011 and €2,493.36 in 2012 on media advertising. In determining whether the advertising is done on national or local media my Department examines each case on its own merits and a decision is made on that basis.
The following is the position in respect of the cost of media advertising incurred by the Office of Public Works (OPW) which is under the remit of my Department:
|
Year |
Amount |
|
2011 |
€154,127.53 |
|
2012 |
€258,757.28 |
|
2013 (to 11/9/13) |
€120,726.07 |
Given the variety of business activities undertaken by the Office of Public Works, a wide range of local, regional and national media advertising services are procured, for example, to promote upcoming events at heritage sites, in addition to the various statutory advertising requirements. Examples of statutory advertisements include those required under the planning code, where local authorities specify the approved local newspapers in which the notices are to be published and statutory planning notices when the Office of Public Works itself plans certain other works (known as Part 9 applications) - examples of these include works to Derrynane House in Kerry and works in Dublin Castle in preparation for the EU Presidency in 2013.. Further examples relate to public exhibition days held for flood relief schemes, including public consultation days under the CFRAM programme.
The OPW also advertises employment opportunities, bridge works and many notices associated with events and initiatives at sites around the country such as the Free First Wednesday initiative, the Community Initiative, Heritage Week and other promotional activities at visitor sites.
446. Deputy Kevin Humphreys asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will provide a list of all bodies, boards or committees under the remit of his Department to which ministerial appointments are made; the statutory provision providing for the making of such appointments in each case; the annual allowances or other payments made to the chairperson; the annual allowance or other payment made to an ordinary member; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37498/13]
Amharc ar fhreagra447. Deputy Kevin Humphreys asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will provide a list of the boards, bodies or committees under the remit of his Department where there is currently a vacancy to be filled by ministerial appointment; if so, if the vacancy relates to the chairperson or an ordinary member or members, specifying the number of vacancies in each case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37513/13]
Amharc ar fhreagra448. Deputy Kevin Humphreys asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will provide a list of the bodies, boards or committees under the remit of his Department where there is anticipated to be a vacancy within the next six months to be filled by ministerial appointment; if so, if the anticipated vacancy relates to the chairperson or an ordinary member or members, specifying the number of anticipated vacancies in each case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37528/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 446 to 448, inclusive, together.
In response to the Deputy’s questions I can confirm the following in respect of the Boards under the remit of my Department:
Outside Appointments Board
The Outside Appointments Board (OAB) is an independent body established in 2005 under the Civil Service Code of Standards and Behaviour. The Board is comprised of the Secretary General of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, the Secretary General of the Department of the Taoiseach, and three non-civil servant members, one of whom acts as Chairman. There is 1 vacancy at present for a non-civil servant member. The two Secretaries General are not paid fees for membership of the OAB. Since 2012, the non-civil servant members also are not paid fees or annual allowances. There is no statutory provision providing for the making of such appointments. It is not anticipated that any vacancies will arise in the next six months
Public Appointments Service
The Public Service Management (Recruitment and Appointments) Act, 2004 states that I as Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform in consultation with the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, the Minister for Health and the Minister for Justice and Equality should appoint members of the Board of the Public Appointments Service. The Board is meant to be representative of our client base. The majority of the board is therefore civil or public servants, nominated by the relevant Minister. The Chairman is paid €11,970 p.a and three board members are paid €7,695 each p.a. There are no vacancies anticipated in the next six months on the PAS Board.
An Post National Lottery Company
The statutory provision providing for the making of appointments to the Board of the National Lottery is the National Lottery Act 1986, Section 14. The Annual Allowance payable to ordinary Members (excluding An Post/ National Lottery Company personnel) is €12,600 per annum As the Chairperson is the CEO of An Post no fee is payable. The current National Lottery license is due to expire in 2013.
449. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of public servants now below the minimum wage under the Haddington Road agreement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37609/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraAll employers, including public service employers, must comply with the provisions of the Minimum Wage Act 2000 and I am not aware of, nor would I support, the non-compliance by public service employers with the terms of the Act. Where breaches of the Act occur inadvertently or otherwise by public service employers, my policy is to ensure such issues are addressed urgently and with no loss to the employee concerned.
450. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the options available to a person (details supplied) following a severe pay cut after the Haddington Road agreement. [37640/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am unable to comment on the particular circumstances of the individual concerned.
The provisions in the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2013 and the related proposals in the recently concluded Haddington Road Agreement (HRA) must be considered in their wider context. The Agreement negotiated will deliver the necessary €1bn saving in the public service pay and pensions bill by 2015 while ameliorating the impacts for public service staff on low and middle incomes to the greatest extent possible. The core pay of 87% of the workers in the public service was not reduced by the legislation.
The Government, in seeking to apply the reductions involved, distinguished between lower and higher paid public servants. The pay cuts applied under the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2013 apply only to those higher paid public servants on annual salaries of €65,000 or more. In contrast, the related Haddington Road Agreement which secures non-core pay savings and additional productivity from public servants protected the earnings of the majority of public servants below €65,000 to the greatest extent possible commensurate with securing the savings necessary. In contrast, those on salaries over €65,000 have had reductions in their pay ranging between 5.5% and 10% under the Act
I am happy that the agreement reached between the Government and Trade Unions that represent public servants is fair, progressive and balances the interests of public servants with those using and paying for public services.
The Government recognise that the savings sought from the public service pay and pensions bill are extremely difficult and challenging for all public servants and are very conscious of the very significant contributions they have made to date. However, the reductions now required are a necessary further contribution to the fiscal consolidation process required to restore our economic sovereignty and bring our current expenditure deficit under control.
451. Deputy Kevin Humphreys asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will arrange for the Office of Public Works to steam clean a Garda station (details supplied) in Dublin 4; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37718/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Commissioners of Public Works undertake refurbishments and routine maintenance to Garda Stations on foot of requests from An Garda Síochána. The Commissioners do not currently have a request to steam clean the front of Donnybrook Garda Station. If such a request is received from An Garda Síochána, due consideration will be given at that stage, subject to the funding availability and competing priorities.
452. Deputy Nicky McFadden asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the measures taken by his Department to reform regulations and procedures in relation to public procurement in order to make it easier for Irish small and medium enterprises to gain access to public contracts; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37904/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn relation to improving access for small and medium sized enterprises my Department has issued guidelines (Circular 10/10) that require public bodies to promote participation of such enterprises in the award of public contracts. These guidelines set out positive measures that contracting authorities are to take to promote the involvement of smaller enterprises in a manner that is consistent with the principles and rules of the existing public procurement regulatory regime. The guidance also highlights practices that are to be avoided because they can unjustifiably hinder small businesses in competing for public contracts. The key provisions of the guidance include:
- supplies and general services contracts with an estimated value of €25,000 or more to be advertised on the www.etenders.gov.ie website;
- less use of “restrictive” tendering procedures and greater use of “open” tendering;
- ensuring that the levels set by contracting authorities for suitability criteria are justified and proportionate to the needs of the contract;
- sub-dividing larger requirements into lots where this is practical.
In order to promote and improve such practices the National Procurement Service (NPS), which will be transferring into the new Office of Government Procurement (OGP), established its 'Working Group to assist Small and Medium Enterprises' in February 2012 to facilitate open discussion on the issue of public service procurement. The Working Group consists of representatives from the NPS, the Health Service Executive, the Irish Business and Employers Federation, the Irish Small and Medium Enterprises Association, Chambers Ireland, and the Small Firms Association. The Group has met on a number of occasions and has raised many issues relating to procurement and particularly how these issues impact on SMEs. Resulting from these discussions the NPS has issued two circulars to all buyers in, and suppliers to, the public service with the aim of improving practice in the procurement arena.
In order to encourage greater SME participation the NPS, over the past three years, has conducted a targeted programme of education for suppliers who wish to learn more about doing business with the Irish Public Service. This programme consists of seminars, workshops and large scale 'meet the buyer' events hosted nationwide. To date the NPS has facilitated workshops and presented at seminars to over 4,500 SMEs nationwide. Parallel with these events the NPS also works closely with business representative bodies such as ISME and IBEC to provide briefings for their members.
In summary, increasing value for money through better government procurement is a key programme in the reform agenda. The reform of procurement across the public service is commencing and will continue to provide opportunities to the SME sector to win business, however it is important for the SME sector to understand how public procurement is changing and to engage the public sector buyers through the fora available. The procurement management team will continue to work with industry to ensure that winning government business is done in a fair, transparent and accessible way.
453. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of premises his Department currently rents; the locations of each of these premises; and the costs of the rent. [33246/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI understand that the Deputy's question relates to properties leased on behalf of the Department of Social Protection.
The Commissioners of Public Works currently lease 150 properties that are occupied solely by the Department of Social Protection. A further 13 leased properties are shared by the Department of Social Protection and other Departments or State Agencies.
Summary details of all 163 leased properties are shown in the Table below.

454. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform his views on correspondence (details supplied) regarding the failure of the Office of Public Works and the Chief State Solicitor's office to sign a lease. [37944/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Commissioners of Public Works are progressing this transaction. The fact that the lease has not been executed is not a failure on the part of the State. The matter has been delayed because certain terms and conditions within the lease have not been acceptable to the State. It is hoped that the lease can be concluded in the coming weeks.
