- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (10 Oct 2024)
Seán Fleming: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. Ireland remains steadfast in our support for the people and Government of Ukraine. The conflict, since the illegal Russian invasion in February 2022, continues to drive the numbers of people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. As Ukraine faces into another harsh winter, Ireland's humanitarian funding will continue to target the most...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (10 Oct 2024)
Pádraig O'Sullivan: I thank the Minister of State. I acknowledge the announcement last month of that €36 million. It is very welcome. Perhaps the Minister of State will give the House an estimate on the overall contribution the State has made on that fund since its inception in 2022. One of the most reprehensible acts that has been done in the Ukraine-Russia conflict is the forced deportation of...

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: The witnesses are all very welcome. I remind everyone in attendance to ensure their mobile phones are switched off or in silent mode. To start, I wish to explain some limitations to parliamentary privilege and the practices of the Houses as regard references witnesses may make to other persons in their evidence. The evidence of witnesses physically present or who give evidence from...

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: Would somebody from the Department explain? Perhaps Mr. O'Sullivan can confirm that? Certainly at least some of the funding was off-balance sheet.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: Just to clarify, that is all capital expenditure, Mr. O'Sullivan.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: Off-balance sheet changes things.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: Take your time, Deputy. If we need to go over time by a few minutes that is okay.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: If it is useful at this point, the amount that came from ISIF is €1.25 billion. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: No, it is only that part of it. To clarify, it is only €1.25 billion. The LDA has to fund a plan with €6.25 billion. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: There will be a second round and I will bring the Deputy back in.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: I am conscious of people looking in here. There is a lot of back and forth. The Deputy has been trying to tease out the sources of funding and then what is and is not on the State balance sheet. In his opening statement, Mr. Coleman said, "We have already received funding commitments of €2.5 billion.", from Government and half of that is from ISIF. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: I am trying to keep it simple. Mr. Coleman said, in his opening statement, that the agency has received a commitment for €2.5 billion. One part of that is a commitment for €1.25 billion. Is that the ISIF money, "Yes" or "No"?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: From ISIF?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: There is €2.5 billion from ISIF. On the next part then, did Mr. Coleman say that there is a further €1.25 billion from budget 2025?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: In budget 2025, there is €1.25 billion. Where do the AIB shares fit in there?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: Is the AIB shares sum included in either that €1.25 billion from budget 2025 or the original €2.5 billion? Where is it contained?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Brian Stanley: AIB, that is okay. Let us hope I can get to the bottom of this. Now the agency has €3.75 billion. Then Mr. Coleman stated, "the Government ... has signalled its intention to raise our total capitalisation to ... €6.25 billion ...". The agency is at €3.75 billion. The agency needs another €2.5 billion, including the provision to borrow €1.25 billion. Mr....
