- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Ciarán Cannon: It is.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Ciarán Cannon: Has there been a cost-benefit analysis carried out on the development of the project?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Ciarán Cannon: Bearing in mind that many of us are involved with communities across the country which have been subjected to serious flooding in the last couple of decades. When we approach the OPW as an entity to begin working with them and developing flood relief projects, these projects quite rightly are subjected to a rigorous and robust cost-benefit analysis process. I am at a loss to understand why...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Ciarán Cannon: The OPW does not have that right now?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Ciarán Cannon: The OPW was asked to provide a note on the failure to disclose the legally binding commitment in the appropriation accounts for 2022. Its response at the time was that the OPW was liaising with the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General on this issue in the context of finalising the 2023 appropriation accounts. Why is that commitment still not included in that 2023 appropriation account?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: We were at €289 million. Is this the same person who was contracted to provide the modular build? Is a different contractor providing the solar panels?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Mr. Conlon, as Chair of the OPW, is telling this committee and the public in general that the final cost of the modular build at an A1 rating, including solar panels fitted, is €442,000.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: That is not the question. The cost per unit is currently €442,000. Is Mr. Conlon saying that is without the fitting of solar panels? Is it the case that when that is completed, the cost is not going to change?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Will the cost change from €442,000 per unit?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: He expects it to stay the same.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: That is an undertaking that we have, even though the project is three times over the initial budget. What happened that meant an estimate of €100 million ended up costing nearly three times that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: It did not turn out to be much of an emergency response. It took nearly 20 months longer to put the units in place. As for the sites, ere they ever zoned for housing or serviced in any shape or form? Was the figure of €100 million a cost that went out to tender to Sisk or did Sisk come in with that price?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Was the figure of €100 million an amount that was tendered or was it the proposed cost of the project given to Sisk?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Did Sisk tender for €100 million?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: It was an open-ended contract.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Ciarán Cannon: I thank the witnesses for being here this morning and wish Mr. Conlon every success in his role. I want to focus on one element of the work in the ten minutes I have, namely, the proposed development of the National Children's Science Centre. What Mr. Conlon has presented to us is a debacle. If this goes ahead, it will dwarf bike sheds and security huts in terms of the commitment the...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Will Mr. Conlon answer the question I asked, please? If he does not, I will ask the Chair to intervene. Why did Mr. Conlon not seek an extension?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Maybe Ms Morrison is aware of why an extension was not sought. Is there anybody present who understands why the planning was not extended?
