Introduction

This fifth edition of the guidelines for public servants on compliance with the provisions of the Ethics Acts has been drawn up to take account of two Statutory Instruments enacted in 2006 which prescribe certain organisations as public bodies for the purposes of the Ethics Acts and revise the designated directorships and designated positions in public bodies. These regulations came into effect on 1 January 2007 and this fifth edition of the guidelines applies from that date onwards.

These guidelines deal with: annual statements of interests; statements of a material interest, and requirements regarding tax clearance.

Appendices 1 and 2 contain the formats for statements of interests and 'nil' statements for use by various categories of public servants.

Appendix 3 sets out the revised list of designated positions in civil service Departments/Offices with effect from 1 January 2007.

Appendix 4 sets out the revised lists of designated directorships and designated positions in the wider public service with effect from 1 January 2007. Appendix 4 also sets out the officer of the body to whom designated directors and the relevant authority to whom occupiers of designated positions furnish statements. These reporting arrangements apply to statements concerning any interest held on or after 1 January 2007 and replace those set out in the fourth edition of the guidelines.

Part 1 Relevant legislation

For the purposes of these guidelines, the Ethics in Public Office Act 1995 and the Standards in Public Office Act 2001 are cited together as the Ethics in Public Office Acts 1995 and 2001 (the Ethics Acts).

Ethics in Public Office Act 1995 (the 1995 Act)

1. The 1995 Act established the Public Offices Commission and the Committees on Members' Interests of Dáil and Seanad Éireann. It provides for the disclosure of interests by office holders, the Attorney General, members of the Houses of the Oireachtas, special advisers and holders of designated directorships and occupiers of designated positions in the civil service and the semi-state sector.

2. The 1995 Act also provides for investigation of possible contraventions and for publication of guidelines and giving of advice to assist compliance with the provisions of the legislation. It describes, in detail, the powers of the Public Offices Commission, the circumstances in which complaints can be made and the process by which a decision to commence an investigation would be undertaken.

3. The 1995 Act prohibits the retention of valuable gifts by office holders and amends the Prevention of Corruption Acts 1889 to 1916.

Standards in Public Office Act 2001 (the 2001 Act)

4. The 2001 Act amends the 1995 Act in several respects. It provides for the establishment of the Standards in Public Office Commission (Standards Commission) and confers on it all of the functions and powers of its predecessor, the Public Offices Commission, under the 1995 Act.

5. The principal functions of the Standards Commission, as inherited from the Public Offices Commission, are to publish guidelines, to give advice and to investigate and report in relation to possible contraventions of the Ethics Acts. These functions of the Standards Commission relate to office holders (including Ministers and Ministers of State), the Attorney General, special advisers and holders of designated directorships and occupiers of designated positions in the civil service and the semi-state sector. The same functions are discharged by the Committees

4

Page 5: SIPO guidelines

on Members' Interests of the Dáil and Seanad in relation to members of those Houses who are not office holders.

6. The 2001 Act includes new tax clearance obligations for the Attorney General and persons who are appointed to senior office [i.e., designated positions or directorships in public bodies prescribed under the 1995 Act in relation to which the remuneration is not less than the lowest remuneration of a Deputy Secretary General in the civil service (€160,942 with effect from 1 June 2007)]. Details of the requirements in this regard are provided in Part 6.

7. As compared to the 1995 Act, the 2001 Act provides for a wider range of circumstances in which a complaint can be made to the Standards Commission. A complaint can now be made to the Standards Commission not only in respect of an office holder, the Attorney General, a special adviser, a person who, at the relevant time, held a designated directorship of, or occupied a designated position of employment in, a public body, but also in respect of a person who held or occupied, at the relevant time, any directorship of or position of employment in a public body. The 2001 Act provides for immunity for complainants and establishes a basis whereby the Standards Commission can appoint Inquiry Officers to carry out preliminary enquiries into complaints.

8. Section 10 of the 2001 Act provides for codes of conduct to be drawn up for certain specified categories of person. The codes, which are published by the Standards Commission, indicate standards of conduct and integrity for the persons to whom they relate in the performance of their functions and connected matters. To date, following consultation with the Standards Commission, codes have been drawn up by the Government for the guidance of office holders, by the relevant Committees on Members' Interests for the guidance of members of Dáil Éireann and Seanad Éireann other than office holders and by the Minister for Finance for the guidance of civil servants. It is intended that the Minister for Finance will draw up a code or codes for the guidance of persons who hold or occupy directorships of or positions in bodies in the wider public service. The codes are admissible in any proceedings before a court or other tribunal or a Committee on Members' Interests of either House of the Oireachtas or the Standards Commission and any provision of a code that appears to any of the aforementioned bodies to be relevant to a question in the proceedings may be taken into account in determining the question.

Part 2 Introduction to the guidelines

9. These guidelines for public servants have been drawn up by the Standards Commission, after consultation with the Committees on Members' Interests of Dáil and Seanad Éireann, as required under Section 25 (1)(a) of the 1995 Act. They relate specifically to public servants.

10. Separate guidelines have been published by the Standards Commission for office holders (i.e., Ministers, Ministers of State, an Attorney General who is a member of either House of the Oireachtas, the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of each House and the Chairman of a Committee of either House or of a joint Committee of both Houses, where the Committee has been designated for the purposes of the legislation).

11. The guidelines provide information on the steps that public servants who are covered by the Ethics Acts need to take in order to comply with the requirements of the legislation. In addition to the guidelines, public servants may seek advice from the Standards Commission concerning any provision of the legislation or the application of any such provision in any particular case.

12. Public servants must act in accordance with the guidelines and any advice given by the Standards Commission, unless by so doing they would be contravening another provision of the legislation.

13. Where requested, advice must be provided by the Standards Commission within 21 days or, alternatively, it may decline to give advice. Ideally, to eliminate any risk of misunderstanding, requests for advice should be made in writing (including by e-mail to [email protected]). Normally, the Standards Commission will provide, or confirm, all advice of a substantive nature, in writing.

6

Page 7: SIPO guidelines

14. When a request for advice is made to the Standards Commission as referred to in paragraph 11, the provision concerned of the Ethics Acts will not, as regards the person who made the request, apply in relation to that person during the period from the making of the request to the time when the advice is given or the Standards Commission declines to give advice.

15. These guidelines will be admissible in any proceedings before a court or other tribunal or a Committee on Members' Interests of either House of the Oireachtas or the Standards Commission and any provision of the guidelines that appears to any of the aforementioned bodies to be relevant to a question in the proceedings may be taken into account in determining the question.

16. A number of key terms arise in the legislation and in these guidelines and a list of definitions from the legislation is provided in Part 8.

Part 4 Procedure for disclosing interests - General

18. A person who is covered by these guidelines is required to furnish a statement, in writing, of:

(i) the interests of the person, and

(ii) the interests, of which the person has actual knowledge, of his or her spouse or a child of the person or of his or her spouse

which could materially influence the person in, or in relation to, the performance of the person's official functions by reason of the fact that such performance could so affect those interests as to confer on, or withhold from, the person, or the spouse or child, a substantial benefit.(Statement formats are at Appendix 1.)

19. A statement of interests is not legally required where the interests could not materially influence the person in, or in relation to, the performance of his or her official functions. The Standards Commission has, however, recommended that a 'nil' statement, rather than no statement, should be provided in such circumstances. ('Nil' statement formats are at Appendix 2.)

20. The interests referred to above are set out in paragraph 66. In the case of occupiers of designated positions in the civil service, statements are generally furnished to the Head of the Department or Office concerned. (Details are provided at Appendix 4 of the persons to whom statements should be furnished by holders of designated directorships and occupiers of designated positions in other prescribed public bodies.)

21. In addition to the statement of interests referred to in paragraph 18, a person who is covered by these guidelines is required to furnish a statement, at the time, where an official function falls to be performed by the person and the person has actual knowledge that he or she, or a connected person, has a material interest in a matter to which the function relates.

10

Page 11: SIPO guidelines

22. There are variations in the procedures for furnishing statements as they apply to the different categories listed in paragraph 17. Accordingly, the procedure for each category is set out in Part 5.

23. Where a person who is covered by these guidelines has an interest that is not set out in paragraph 66, or the person has actual knowledge that his or her spouse or child or a child of the spouse has such an interest, the person may, at any time, furnish a statement of that interest to the person or persons nominated to receive such statements. Where such a statement is provided, the 1995 Act will apply and have effect as if the interest was an interest set out in paragraph 66.

24. Where a person who is covered by these guidelines receives advice from the Standards Commission or it appears from guidelines published by the Standards Commission that an interest of the person, or of the person's spouse or child or a child of the spouse, is a disclosable interest, the person concerned must, as soon as possible, furnish a statement of that interest to the person or persons nominated to receive such statements.

25. Where a person who is covered by these guidelines fails to comply with a requirement to provide a statement of interests, the person may, at any time, furnish a statement, in writing, of the interests to the person or persons nominated to receive such statements.

26. Where there is a change in the interests of a person who is covered by these guidelines, or in the interests of the person's spouse or child or a child of the spouse, the person may, at any time, furnish a statement of the change, in writing, to the person or persons nominated to receive such statements.

In the case of a special adviser appointed by the Government under the provisions of Section 11(1) of the Public Service Management Act 1997 to a Minister of State assigned to a Department/Office, the period of employment or contract terminates on the expiration of the assignment of the Minister of State to that Department/Office (whether by appointment as a Minister of the Government, by assignment to another Department/Office, by resignation, or otherwise).

54. You are required in each year, during any part of which you hold or held a position

The Standards Commission will accept the furnishing of a copy of your statement subject to an original signature.

First statement

55. Your first statement should cover the period from 1 January, or the date of your appointment in a particular year, if later, up to 31 December of the same year and should be furnished not later than 31 January in the following year.

In any case where a function of the position falls to be performed and you have actual knowledge that you, or a connected person, have a material interest in a matter to which the function relates, you must, as soon as may be, prepare and furnish a statement in writing of those facts to the office holder and to the Standards Commission. You should not perform the function unless there are compelling reasons requiring you to do so. If you propose to perform the function you should, before doing so or, if that is not reasonably practicable, as soon as possible afterwards, prepare and furnish a statement in writing of the compelling reasons to the office holder and the Standards Commission. The requirements set out in this paragraph apply whether or not an interest has been disclosed in a statement referred to in paragraph 54.

59. It is a requirement that the office holder for whom you act, or acted, as special adviser should lay before each House of the Oireachtas the following documents:

(i) a copy of the contract, or a statement in writing of the terms and conditions, under which you act or acted as special adviser,

Page 23: SIPO guidelines

(iv) a statement of your qualifications relevant to your functions as special adviser.

60. You are required to undertake that you will not engage in any trade, profession, vocation or other occupation which might reasonably be seen to be capable of interfering with or being incompatible with the role of special adviser.

61. The terms under which you (a) occupy a position to which section 7(1)(e) of the Public Service Management (Recruitment and Appointments) Act 2004 relates, (b) are employed under the contract for services concerned or (c) have been appointed by the Government under the provisions of Section 11(1) of the Public Service Management Act 1997, will be deemed to include a term that you will comply with the foregoing requirements and that your appointment or employment ends in accordance with the provisions set out in paragraph 52 above.

Part 6 Requirements in relation to tax clearance

62. A person who is appointed as Attorney General or is appointed to senior office [i.e. a designated position or directorship in a public body prescribed under the 1995 Act in relation to which the remuneration is not less than the lowest remuneration of a Deputy Secretary General in the civil service (€160,942 with effect from 1 June 2007)] is obliged to comply with the requirements set out below in relation to tax clearance. Special advisers are not required to comply with these obligations. In the case of an Attorney General and persons who occupy senior office by virtue of a directorship or position having been prescribed in the Ethics in Public Office (Designated Positions in Public Bodies) Regulations, 1996 (S.I. No. 57 of 1996) or the Ethics in Public Office (Prescribed Public Body, Designated Directorships and Designated Positions in Public Bodies) Regulations, 1997 (S.I.

In the case of persons who occupy senior office by virtue of a directorship or position having been prescribed for the first time in the Ethics in Public Office (Designated Positions in Public Bodies) Regulations 2004 (S.I. No. 698 of 2004) or the Ethics in Public Office (Prescribed Public Bodies, Designated Directorships of Public Bodies and Designated Positions in Public Bodies) Regulations 2004 (S.I. No 699 of 2004), the requirements apply to appointments made on or after 1 January 2005. In the case of persons who occupy senior office by virtue of a directorship or position having been prescribed for the first time in the Ethics in Public Office (Designated Positions in Public Bodies) (Amendment) Regulations 2005 (S.I. No. 673 of 2005) or the Ethics in Public Office (Prescribed Public Bodies, Designated Directorships of Public Bodies and Positions in Public Bodies) Regulations 2005 (S.I.

Accordingly, the tax clearance requirements set out below apply to any person appointed on or after 1 January 2005 to a position of employment in any public body meeting the above criteria (regardless of whether the public body is listed in the Schedules to S.I. 698 of 2004, S.I. 699 of 2004, S.I. 672 of 2005, S.I. 673 of 2005, S.I. 677 of 2006, S.I. 678 of 2006 or in any subsequent regulations) in relation to which the remuneration is not less than the lowest remuneration of a Deputy Secretary General in the Civil Service.

A person appointed to senior office or as Attorney General in accordance with the above must provide the following to the Standards Commission, not more than nine months after the date of appointment:

25

Page 26: SIPO guidelines

an Application Statement, which is issued by the Collector-General, following an application, and is to the effect that the person has applied for a Tax Clearance Certificate and that a decision on the application has not been made (the Collector-General would issue an Application Statement where it had not yet been decided whether to issue or refuse a Tax Clearance Certificate, or where the application for the issue of a tax clearance certificate had been refused and the refusal was the subject of an appeal or further appeal which was awaiting determination; an Application Statement that was issued to the person must have been made within a period of nine months before or after the date of appointment) and

a Statutory Declaration, which is a declaration made by the appointee

in accordance with the Statutory Declarations Act 1938, as amended, testifying that, at the time of its making, the appointee is, to the best of his or her knowledge or belief, in compliance with the obligations imposed on him or her by the Acts referred to above and is not aware of any impediment to the issue of a Tax Clearance Certificate (the Statutory Declaration must have been made by the person within a period of one month before or after the date of appointment to senior office).

For example, a person who is appointed to senior office on 1 March 2006 must:(a) make a statutory declaration not earlier than 2 February 2006 and not later

than 31 March 2006 and(b) furnish

(i) that statutory declaration and (ii) a Tax Clearance Certificate (which was issued not earlier than 2 June

63. Contravention of these requirements will lead to investigation by the Standards Commission and the drawing up of a written report of the result of the investigation. In the case of an Attorney General, the Standards Commission will furnish a copy of the report to the Taoiseach who will cause copies of it to be laid before each House of the Oireachtas. In the case of an appointee to senior office,

26

Page 27: SIPO guidelines

the Standards Commission will furnish a copy of the report to the public body concerned and will cause copies of the report to be laid before each House.

64. Where an Attorney General or an appointee to senior office contravenes the above requirements, he or she must provide, to the Standards Commission, a Tax Clearance Certificate and/or a Statutory Declaration as early as possible and, in any event, within one month of receipt of a Tax Clearance Certificate or the making of a Statutory Declaration, as the case may be.

65. Where an Attorney General or an appointee to senior office has not complied with the above requirements by the time the Annual Report of the Standards Commission for the year in question, or any later such report, is being prepared, the Standards Commission will, in the case of an Attorney General, specify the non-compliance in the report and, in the case of an appointee to senior office, notify the non-compliance to the head of the public body concerned. When compliance has been achieved, the Standards Commission will, in the case of an Attorney General, notify the Taoiseach who will cause copies of the notification to be laid before the Houses and, in the case of an appointee to senior office, notify the head of the public body concerned.
