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

Mary Lou McDonald: Young people and students working within the healthcare system are going to watch very carefully to see what we have to say and whether we are prepared to put our money where our mouths are. On this side of the House we certainly are. I will send on details of the individual case to the Minister. I hope the Taoiseach takes the point, which is made in good faith, that it is in all of our...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Now we will take Leaders' Questions under Standing Order 36. I call Deputy McDonald.

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

Mary Lou McDonald: I would first like to address information which I placed on the Dáil record last week relating to an incident where a Sinn Féin representative sent inappropriate text messages to a young person. It was then my understanding that the young person was 17 years of age because of the information provided on his application form when he applied to join Ógra Shinn Féin. That...

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

Mary Lou McDonald: Our student nurses and midwives are incredible. They do invaluable nursing work while on placement on wards and, in fact, they keep our hospitals going. They do a minimum of 28 hours a week and they work far beyond their training duties. The McHugh review of 2022 addressed pay for intern nurses. However, the new subsistence allowance for first-to-third-year student nurses does not go...

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

Cormac Devlin: Does the OPW not have a rolling contract with providers for portacabins and so on when required? It seems strange to me that that would be part of a project cost when, in fact, the OPW is doing this all the time right across the country, as Mr. Conlon said earlier. Would an existing contract not be in place so the OPW does not have additional costs on every single project, either a...

Cormac Devlin: Does the €335,000 incorporate all costs associated with the construction, design and the internal team costs? Is everything included in it?

Cormac Devlin: Although I heard what the witnesses said about the EV charging points, why were they not part and parcel of the cost if they were constructed at the same time? Obviously, if we include them, we are talking about €447,000.

Cormac Devlin: Ms Collier mentioned the actual charging points for the bike shelter itself earlier. They have not been switched on and that is a separate contract but is that all included in the cost?

Cormac Devlin: If it was finished in March 2024, at what point did the cost overruns become apparent? Was that through the public domain, via the media? When was it apparent that this was a runaway train?

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

Cormac Devlin: Okay, but the amount of money that was spent on the project was obviously hugely more than the average Joe punter would give for a bike shelter. In fact, a lot of commercial companies were memeing about the fact that the OPW spent €335,000 on a bike shelter and they could do it for a fraction of that cost. When did it become apparent internally in the OPW that this amount of money...
