- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: However, nobody ever entertained the idea of allowing somebody else to build on that site.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: I should hope so, because, given the OPW's record on modular builds, it is probably not something we should consider for the taxpayer's sake. Let us go to the modular build. This committee was previously informed, as the C and AG pointed out, that it was estimated that 500 units would cost €100 million. We are at nearly three times that figure. I recall asking about the sites...
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: That is correct. However., Mr. Conlon is now saying that these are State assets and can be used in the future for social housing.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Are these modular builds part M compliant? I am reliably informed that they are not, even though I see Ms Collier nodding her head. Does Mr. Conlon know what part M is?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Does Mr. Conlon know which regulation part M pertains to?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: They are not compliant when it comes to wheelchair accessibility apparently. Is there anyone here who can categorically say that they are? Ms Collier was nodding her head but she has stopped doing so. Does that mean she cannot categorically state that they are compliant in the context of wheelchair accessibility?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Who inspected them? I am reliably informed that they are not compliant. I am also reliably informed that they are not compliant with parts N or Z. Can the witnesses state whether or not they are compliant? The BER rating is significantly lower than would be the case for a three-bed house that meets the regulations. What is the BER rating for the modular builds?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: What is the PV facility?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Is that cost included or is it additional to the €442,000?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Will Mr. Conlon hold on and not go too fast? When he says it is under consideration, that would mean it is on top of the €442,000.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: That does not sound like confidence to me. It means it is under negotiation. There seems to be a discussion or a disagreement. Is there?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Now is the time to give us the facts.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Mr. Conlon said there was a heritage prospect to the whole project because it was in the confines of Leinster House and it had to be looked at from that perspective. How much did that cost?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Were those conservation aspects given to the two RoanKabins outside the back door of Leinster House? It looks to me like they are two very ordinary RoanKabins you would get in the middle of any haulier's yard in the country. I do not see the correlation between the RoanKabins and this bike shelter.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: This is the Merrion Square side. It is the same side. It is the back door of this building. It is right outside the back door.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Is Mr. Conlon familiar with those cabins?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Mr. Conlon is familiar with the portacabins. Yet, he persists in telling us there was a heritage element to the bike shelter. Does he believe that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: It is beginning to sound very much just like an excuse. I suggest the OPW is running out of excuses. The problem with not having accountability is that this is likely to happen again and again, which is the history of the OPW, as far as I have researched, going back 30 years. There has not been much improvement. Mr. Conlon is in a position to cure it. He will be back here next year. I...
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: I will move on. With regard to the OPW's land banks and modular builds, how much land for building houses does the OPW own or is within the OPW?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: At the back door, on the opposite side. They are ordinary RoanKabins. Has Mr. Conlon has seen them?
