- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: No, I think I understand the scheme. I just meant if I moved into the LDA's affordable two-bed in Shanganagh - though obviously, I would never leave Galway so I do not know why I would do that - and I wanted to own it outright, I would pay the €478,000. Is that right?

Mairead Farrell: How much is it for the three-bed?

Mairead Farrell: Will Mr. Coleman confirm that the open market value is more than the cost of delivery?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: I thank Mr. Coleman. That very much leads me back into the earlier conversation which I do not want to return to. The main thing I noticed on note 14 in the financial statements is that the Land Development Agency reclassified the site which was identified as an investment property to being property, plant and equipment. I thought that that was quite intriguing because I had never seen...

Mairead Farrell: Let us we are talking about the two- and three-beds, will Mr. Coleman relate it exactly to them because it would be easier?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: If I was buying it outright, I would be paying more than the cost of delivery.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: That has come from the Government side rather than from the LDA's own side. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: I thank Mr. Coleman. I just wanted to get that. Go raibh míle maith agaibh.
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Export Controls (10 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: Over the past year, as the genocide in Gaza in particular has intensified and as a global boycott campaign has grown, the Israeli economy contracted quite an amount. Its credit rating has been downgraded multiple times and its economy has suffered across virtually every sector. Yet, one area that is apparently booming is its trade in dual-use items with a military purpose with Ireland in...

Matt Carthy: Will the Minister explain precisely what human rights provisions are taken into account? To my knowledge, no such export licence has ever been denied.

Micheál Martin: The Department of Foreign provided observations in 31 export licence requests where the end use country was Israel in 2024. The Department of Foreign Affairs previously provided 116 cases of foreign policy observations generally across the board to the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment on dual-use export licence applications to Israel since 2020, over the past four years. In...

Matt Carthy: I am told there is a quote in respect of a number of licences and the fact that they have grown that they raise a higher or potentially more serious risk of misuse because they are going to state agencies or linked companies. That is in respect of dual-use items exported to Israel. To be clear, when a state, whether it be Russia, Israel or any other oppressive state, is currently engaged in...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Export Controls (10 Oct 2024)
Micheál Martin: I am not so clear the Deputy is correct. He needs to drill down and engage with the Department of enterprise on that question. Concerning dual use in the modern era, with the advance of technology people can assert a dual use for almost anything today, sometimes for negative reasons. I was at the Rafah crossing some months ago and saw built up in every warehouse a range of goods for...
