- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: I need that figure. I am surprised he does not have that figure. It is fundamental to what we are talking about in a housing crisis. Will Mr. Conlon provide that figure? Before the break, somebody could submit it. I put the question again: why did the OPW allow the planning permission to lapse and not seek an extension? Usually, planning of this scale runs into the hundreds of...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: I will start with Mr. Conlon's remarks about OPW staff. I agree that we have great staff around the country but, unfortunately, it appears that some staff in Dublin have let those staff down. I do not think the issues we are facing around the precincts of Leinster House actually occur around the country. The disregard seems to be Dublin based. I know several OPW staff who carry out their...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: That did not raise any red flags. Okay. The problem is the excuses given for that type of elaborate structure. I have no doubt that the materials in it warrant the cost. However, the question is whether the bike shelter warranted such materials and this question has not been answered. It appears that the answer from everybody is "No" except for Mr. Conlon and the OPW. Nobody is taking...

- Select Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 26 - Education (Supplementary) (22 Oct 2024) Sorca Clarke: I thank the Minister and I welcome her and her officials. My questions cover a number of different areas, so I do not know if she wants to take them as a block or one by one. Will the Minister outline to the committee what impact, if any, the Supplementary Estimate will have on the pay and conditions of school secretaries and caretakers? Will she also outline what, if any, impact the...

Vote 26 - Education (Supplementary) (22 Oct 2024) Sorca Clarke: It is just that it seems such a broad heading. I ask, through the Chair, that the Department come back with a greater breakdown of what it is. "Infrastructure" is a very general term.

Vote 24 - Justice (Supplementary) (17 Oct 2024) Thomas Pringle: I thank the Minister for her input. She said we will facilitate the entry of 800 to 1,000 new trainees to the Garda College next year. How close to maximum capacity for the college is that? Will 800 or 1,000 trainees mean the college is running at full capacity?

How much does the National Shared Service Office contribute to savings?
