Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) James O'Connor: I do not for one second take away the serious security issues on Merrion Street. Somebody was able to drive around Dublin of an evening and drive into the gates of Áras an Úachtaráin. The same person was then able to come down to Merrion Street and drive into the gates of the Department of the Taoiseach and then into the gates of Leinster House, and get away with it. That...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) James O'Connor: We are not getting anywhere. I want us to reflect on the second part. In regard to the bike shelter, is information available yet on who the requests came from? Do we have to wait until afterwards?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) James O'Connor: That is perfect. In the final two minutes that remain to me, I am sorry to frustrate other members of the committee about domestic matters in Cork East, but Storm Babet was major. It flooded nearly 700 homes and businesses. I appreciate the amount of time Mr. Casey has spent down there. It has been noticed. I want the witnesses to keep coming. I do not want to continuously undermine...

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,...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) James O'Connor: I thank the Chair. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge that 12 months have passed since Storm Babet. A huge body of work has been undertaken locally by the local authority and in conjunction with the OPW in 2023 in trying to advance the Midleton flood relief scheme, which has been long overdue. I wish to acknowledge that at the start of my remarks. I might come back to Mr. Casey...
