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

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...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Will the Deputy allow the Taoiseach answer?

Simon Harris: I think the Deputy meant to say when I stepped up.

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

Richard O'Donoghue: Stepped up or stepped down, whichever.

Mattie McGrath: It is like Lanigan's Ball. He stepped out and I stepped in.

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.

Catherine Murphy: We will go for a second round of five minutes each.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024)

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?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: That means there are two bedrooms at €442,000. I do not care if it is the most expensive, worst site in the history of the State. There is not a site in Dublin that has cost €289,000 as Mr. Conlon said in reply to Deputy Kelly, for groundworks. It must be remembered, the same preparation occurs for all constructed houses. It takes less time and it does not come in at that...

Richard O'Donoghue: Michael Collins was born close to Clonakilty.

Simon Harris: Not the one beside the Deputy.

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

Richard O'Donoghue: No. Where Fine Gael was born was close to Clonakilty. He was born to the son of a farmer. Since it has come into government, for decades, Fine Gael has done nothing but close down farms around this country. We then go to Eamon de Valera, who was born in New York and raised in Bruree, County Limerick, and was for Fianna Fáil. Again, we look across the Governments over decades slowly...

Simon Harris: My party and this Government are proudly supporting farmers, rural Ireland and the agriculture sector. We meet them on a very regular basis. I meet them on a very regular basis. I regularly met them with the Minister for agriculture as well. We took a number of decisions in the budget to further support farming and farmers, including making sensible changes to the residential zoned land...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: I understand. I am referring to the one before that, which was in 2022. It was not on open sale at that stage and it was offered for sale to the OPW in advance of it subsequently going on the open market with a closed bid process.

Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: The concern was that there could be a hostile owner, and essentially this is what has subsequently transpired. Looking at the history of it in terms of it being a strategic purchase, would that have changed the valuation on it?

Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Obviously, the OPW must look at valuations. We are acutely aware of value for money. Would the valuation have been different if it was regarded as a strategic purchase as opposed to land that was zoned for agriculture or for amenity?
