Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Alan Kelly: We can check all of those out. For the benefit of members of the public watching these proceedings, a contractor came in to do work for the OPW. What has probably not been in the public domain is the fact that the contracts averaged out at €145,000 but that the actual cost averaged out at €442,000. This means a cost of €297,000 for site works. That is beyond...

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Alan Kelly: So there is nothing we need to be aware of. It is really an opportunity for Mr. Conlon because this is the Committee of Public Accounts. There is nothing-----

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Alan Kelly: In fairness to the three previous speakers, they have asked Mr. Conlon a number of questions and they have given him the opportunity and he said, as is his right, that he was not in position then. However, Mr. Conlon has been in position now for a while. Mr. Conlon has made it clear that he is not aware of anything else. That is fine. I find the situation with the modular homes...

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Alan Kelly: It is not a natural skill for the OPW if Mr. Conlon does not mind me saying so
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Alan Kelly: I understand that but to have to navigate the whole situation in relation to people coming into the country. With ground works and all of that sort of stuff, surely the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage was a more natural fit.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Alan Kelly: It is for the Government to answer. I just wanted to know how the OPW ended up with it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Alan Kelly: Okay. Can we get into the costs of the units? The OPW went out to tender and brought in John Sisk. Was it Sisk that won the tender?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Alan Kelly: From the notes I see it appointed five different contractors.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Alan Kelly: Yes. Were any of those contractors in any way owned by John Sisk as well?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Alan Kelly: I will briefly return to the bike shelter and I echo my colleagues' comments. The Leas-Chathaoirleach and I have been around this committee the longest. The biggest issue we have ever dealt with is the national children's hospital. As regards commentary among the public, a €2.2 billion project is put in the ha'penny place by a bike shed out at the back of this building when it comes...

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?
