Verona Murphy: Could he please submit them to the committee as well? I want to move to coastal erosion. There are very serious issues in Enniscorthy, as Mr. Casey will be aware. Could he please give me the status of the flood relief scheme for Enniscorthy?

Verona Murphy: I thank Mr. Casey. I want to ask about the PR consultant contract in respect of which the tender was withdrawn. Was there a reason for that?

Verona Murphy: Reports in the newspapers this morning indicate that Mr. Conlon was concerned about his reputation. I am sure he knows this already, but from the public's perspective and from our perspective in the context of value for money, it would be much easier to enhance his reputation if the mistakes made by the OPW are not continued. If we learn from them, Mr. Conlon will not need a PR consultant.

Paul McAuliffe: I want to return to the discussion we had earlier on the bike shelter. Ms Morrison informed the committee that there was approximately €120,000 for the adjacent EV charging project? Is that correct?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Greens say it.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: No, the Greens have never said that. I do not need to speak for the Green Party but it does not say that either because it follows the evidence. We saw figures published today that show more progress on emissions reduction, farmers yet again stepping up and, quite frankly, farming and agriculture making more progress than some other parts of our economy, which should be acknowledged as...

Mary Lou McDonald: It is great that we have it. You guys did not want it.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: We have it anyway - we can agree on that much - so it is now a matter of having a discussion about how to spend it. I am sure we will have that conversation again. That does provide opportunities in terms of how we will use that windfall tax revenue to invest further in infrastructure. I imagine we will have a longer debate in the not-too-distant future but I do not accept that this...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Richard O'Donoghue: The reason I got into politics - I have been a building contractor all my life and I am a block layer by trade - is that I want to help build for the future. I want to use my experience. I do not build for local authorities. I have always had our own jobs to do. For 40 or 50 years, we have been promised infrastructure. The Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins, who is sitting behind...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: When I became leader, I appointed a Minister from the Deputy's constituency to the Cabinet. The Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins, also serves the Deputy's constituency. Both of them advocate for the area. Statements of an absolute nature that no infrastructure has been delivered do not stand up to any degree of scrutiny.

Verona Murphy: Mr. Conlon's statement was very ill-informed. Most of the modular builds constructed by Shomera actually exceed the lifetime he mentioned. My question refers to the modular build. What is encompassed in the 45 sq. m, from a living perspective? Does it include toilets, bedrooms, sitting room, kitchen?
