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

Catherine Murphy: Yes, so some of these cost more than others. Were there particular ones the OPW drew attention to that were very significantly over the amount?

Catherine Murphy: The site at Backweston is a flat piece of land, is near services and is a larger one. I presumed that kind of one would have been more viable.

Catherine Murphy: It would be useful for us to see that comparison if Mr. Conlan could provide us with the information. Clearly, the Department was more than aware of this and decided to go ahead with it at senior official level. I move to the children's science museum. There has been quite a lot of money spent on that already given the cost of arbitration. There is a second arbitration. Is there a...

Catherine Murphy: I cannot for the life of me understand how the OPW was on the hook for this either. Deputy Kelly drew attention to the notion it should not have been on the hook for the modular homes either. There is no sponsoring Department, yet it is the OPW that is dealing with the arbitration. I cannot for the life of me understand how the OPW would have been advised that in 2013 in the middle of the...

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...

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

Catherine Murphy: If I wanted to buy one of these modular homes, and I am actually quite familiar with them because Backweston is very near to where I live and the biggest development is there. The modular units are very small. They obviously come in pairs. If I was to buy one of those, without the enabling works and all the rest of it, how much would one of those cost?

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

Catherine Murphy: The cost is €145,000. Mr. Conlon reckons the enabling works cost €55,000 or something like that.

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

Catherine Murphy: Deputy Kelly’s time is up. I will briefly follow on from that. I remember the OPW being before this committee previously talking about these modular homes before they started. We were told they could be picked up and lifted somewhere else. As has been pointed out, there is a huge amount of money that cannot be picked up and moved elsewhere, such as money spent on site works,...

Catherine Murphy: While Mr. Conlon may not have said it, it was said in a previous hearing of this committee when we talked about the prices of these homes going way back.
