Attachment F Attachment F Read from top down I received an acknowledgement from the Department of the Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) to my communication (Attachment 1) that stated: "I acknowledge receipt of your email to the Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar T.D. Is mian liom a admháil go bhfuarthas do ríomhphost chuig an Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar T.D." Over two weeks later, I sent a supplementary note/email to the same people (Taoiseach, Garda Commissioner and DPP) stating: "Dear Taoiseach, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris, and DPP, Regarding my email communication below, I will be publishing my Final Report on Monday 9th September. If you would like to give a reply/rebuttal by then, I will include it in my Report. If not, I'll just mention that I didn't receive a reply from any of you. I think it only fair that you get the opportunity to reply. Kind regards, Maurice D. Landers" The same day I received the same acknowledgement as above, but a day later I received an email communication that stated: "On Tuesday, August 20, 2019, 07:43:07 AM EDT, Department of Taoiseach <[email protected]> wrote: Dear Mr. Landers, Further to your email to the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar T.D., I have forwarded your correspondence to the Minister for Finance, Public Expenditure & Reform, Paschal Donohoe T.D., for attention Yours sincerely, Maura Duffy Assistant Private Secretary to the Taoiseach Telephone: 01-6194000 E-mail: [email protected]" I replied: "From: maurice landers <[email protected]> To: Department of Taoiseach <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2019, 08:29:07 AM EDT Subject: Re: Reply Dear Maura, I had asked that my request not be passed on to somebody else, and that the Dept. of the Taoiseach would deal with the matter directly (with the Gardai and possibly DPP). Please respect my request. The Minister for Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform isn't going to do a damn thing about my case as you know very well from my first Report. I ask you again, please don't pass the buck, which I'm very disappointed that you did, and initiate an investigation into my case. Kind regards, Maurice D. Landers" I then received an acknowledgement from the Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform: From: Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform <[email protected]> To: Mr. Maurice Landers <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 23, 2019, 04:55:18 AM EDT Subject: FIN-MO-02340-2019 FIN-MO-02340-2019 Mr Maurice D Landers [email protected] Dear Mr. Landers, The Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform, Mr. Paschal Donohoe T.D., has asked me to acknowledge receipt of your recent correspondence which was forwarded from the Office of the Taoiseach. Yours sincerely, Michelle O’Connor Private Secretary to the Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform A Member of the Minister for Finance’s staff. The Minister is a Designated Public Official under the Regulation of Lobbying Act, 2015 (details available on www.lobbying.ie). After which I received an email communication from the NTMA, which I found unusual in that I had assumed our conversation had already ended as per Attachment C: On Friday, September 6, 2019, 12:16:21 PM EDT, NTMAFOI <[email protected]> wrote: Dear Mr Landers As my colleague Lorraine is currently out of the office I have been asked to pass on the NTMA response to your e-mails of 9 and 17 July 2019. The NTMA strongly rejects the allegations made against the NTMA/NPRF in your e-mail of 9 July 2019. As indicated to you previously, we are satisfied that the particular investment referred to in your recent e-mail correspondence was made in accordance with the legislation which governed the NPRF, i.e. the National Pensions Reserve Fund Act 2000 (as amended). We also reject any suggestion of fraudulent practices or wrongdoing on the part of the NTMA or NPRF Commission. In relation to your request for a copy of the PwC internal audit plans for the financial years ended 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011, you are entitled to request those records from the NTMA under the Freedom of Information Act 2014. As suggested previously, you might confirm by e-mail that your request for these internal audit plans should be considered as a request to the NTMA for records under the FOI Act. This will enable the NTMA to process your request in accordance with the terms of that Act.

What a pleasant surprise to see your response earlier today. Perhaps some Irish Government official was on to you recently that prompted your reply? Surely, it didn't have to take the NTMA almost two months to strongly reject my allegations and send this simple email reply? Did the NTMA have to give these allegations some serious consideration? But thank you for letting me know on a Friday evening coincidentally just before the deadline I had given the Irish Government. Okay, I'll entertain your FOI process one last time, but I'd like this processed immediately. I had planned on publishing my Final Report on September 9, 2019, but will extend this a week to give you plenty of time to review the audit plan document. Otherwise, I'll issue my Final Report without it and let others make their own determination based on the Report's contents. The released document will give some indication of the conviction behind your rejection of my allegations should I be unable to determine PwC's complete scope of services from it i.e. if PwC's scope of services is in any way redacted. Kind regards, Maurice D. Landers p.s. immediately below is copy of my email communication to you on July 17, 2019, which you didn't include in your email string below, just FYI. Better to keep everything in proper order.

Now that I have informed you that I believe ICAEW, ICAI and PwC lied about the internal audit plan's scope of services, I would like to know what you are going to do about it? According to PwC: “As referred in your correspondence, PwC Ireland was appointed by the National Treasury Management Agency (the "Agency") as internal auditors for the financial years ending 31 December 2009, 2010 and 2011." Therefore, you have to be aware whether the internal audit plan is legitimate or not, and have to take action based upon my credible accusation that the above mentioned bodies lied to you and me? Kind regards, Maurice D. Landers I received a final communication from the Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform: From: Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform <[email protected]> To: Mr. Maurice Landers <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2019, 11:04:50 AM EDT Subject: FIN-MO-02340-2019 Our Ref: FIN-MO-02340-2019 Mr Maurice D Landers [[email protected]] Dear Mr Landers The Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform, Mr. Paschal Donohoe T.D., has asked me to refer to your email of 19 August 2019 which was addressed to the Taoiseach, Mr. Leo Varadkar T.D. and forwarded to the Minister to respond to you on the matters contained within your correspondence that are relevant to his area of responsibility. On foot of your email the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA), which is a body under the Minister for Finance’s aegis, has advised the Department of Finance that it strongly rejects the allegations made against the NTMA/NPRF in your e-mail, and is satisfied that the particular NPRF investment to which you refer was made in accordance with the legislation which governed the NPRF, i.e.

    17 Kildare Street, Dublin 2. 27th January 2021 Ms Helen McEntee TD, Minister for Justice and Equality, Dept of Justice and Equality, 51 St. Stephen's Green, Dublin 2. Dear Ms McEntee, Firstly, may I express the hope that your recovery from recent infection is going well, and that you are suffering no lingering ill-effects. I am following up my submission to you of 9th December, and would appreciate some feedback from your officials on the content. However, in unrelated correspondence with the Deputy Data Protection Commissioner (DDPC), which is appended below, I also raised the data protection issue in the context of the proposed Integrated Insurance Fraud Database, which was officially referred to in the 10th progress update1 of the CIWG last March. While we are disappointed with the responses of the DDPC to the issue of the “gaming” of subject access requests in Ireland by personal injury litigants, he very clearly elucidates the legal position of the DPC. Nevertheless, it is very difficult for us to understand what precisely are the issues impeding the expansion of access to an extant database that has not, to our knowledge, fallen foul of the GDPR. Of great concern to us is the response of the DDPC to this issue. He states that “scant justification for the necessity and proportionality of the proposal or the identification and mitigation of risks to individuals has been presented to us.” We would have thought it self- evident that abundant justification for the Fraud Database is available from your Department, An Garda Síochána, and from the Personal Injuries Commission.

This year’s Conference will be the first YFG National Conference in the organisation’s 44-year history to be held online, and I also hope that it will be the last. The pandemic has forced all of us in YFG to adapt quickly and dynamically to remain relevant and on this front, I believe we have succeeded. Our policies and campaigns have focussed on advocating for sensible, practical solutions to issues relevant to young people. We have sought to modernise Young Fine Gael through the relaunch of our website, the expansion of our social media presence to new platforms and a larger audience and the launch of the YFG Women’s Network, placing a renewed focus on the importance of greater female participation in politics. For the first time in its history, YFG was forced to run the entirety of its recruitment campaign online as Ireland went into lockdown. Despite the challenges we faced, our branches across the country can take pride in the fact that together, we delivered YFG’s first year-on-year increase in membership since 2016.

  • Reply 18/134
    Our Ref: FoI/Req/18/134 Date 18 June 2018 Dear Requester, I refer to the request which you have made under the Freedom of Information Act 2014 for access to records held by this Department, as follows: ‘A copy of all minutes, notes, memos etc relating to a meeting Paul Hewson (Bono) had with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Tánaiste Simon Coveney, Minister Paschal Donohoe, and Mr Martin Fraser at Government Buildings bewto discuss ODA and Ireland as a global leader in the development field.’ I refer also to the acknowledgement of your request which was sent to you on 5 June 2018. I am the responding officer in this case. In processing this request I have identified two records that fall within the scope of your request. The records are listed in the schedule attached. I have made a decision to refuse both of the records at this time. More than one exemption applies to these records. Exemptions under section 29 1(a) of the Freedom of Information Act (2014) relate to records containing matters relating to the deliberative process of a public body. Exemptions under section 30 1(c) relate to the disclosure of positions taken by Government or a public body. In considering non-disclosure under Section 29 I have considered the right of the public to access information, to scrutinise the decision making processes and the contribution release would make to public debate. The arguments I have considered against release include whether premature release would contaminate the decision making process without any countervailing benefit to the public.
