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

Catherine Murphy: We are moving to Deputy Ó Cathasaigh.

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I do not propose to spend much more time on the bike shelter. I want to ask about the siopa at the front of Leinster House. Anybody who does cycle to this campus - and I was one of the signatories to that letter - knows the vast preponderance of the bikes arrive in through Kildare Street, not through the Merrion side, where the bike shelter is. Is there a plan for what is going to happen...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: That is the outside of it as opposed to the inside.

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

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: This may seem a facetious question, but I do not intend it facetiously. Did anybody look at the siopa for the provision of bike parking? When the OPW set about a project to say, "We need to build some bike parking", did anybody at any stage say, "The siopa has been chronically underutilised?" Was it factored in anywhere? No. Okay. It would-----

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: To me, it seems as obvious as the nose on my face, but there we go. Another thing that is as obvious as the nose on my face is climate change and sea level rise. What sea level rise is the OPW factoring into its forward planning?

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: What is the date on that, may I ask Mr. Mooney?

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

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: But Mr. Mooney is saying 2100. Is that the kind of timeframe within which the OPW is predicting these scenarios?

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

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I think most evidence would point towards around a metre by 2100. The witnesses can probably guess my next question. The last major coastal change study the OPW has done does not factor that in. Professor Peter Thorne, in a report from Caroline O'Doherty, said what we were announcing was "a plan to make a plan" in terms of dealing with coastal erosion. Our coastal erosion study does not...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (22 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: The Deputy said the HSE has said there is no resolution. I do not doubt what he has heard. What they are telling me is they are trying to do two things: they are trying to secure a property in the county and they - when I say "they", I mean the Brothers of Charity - in parallel are running a recruitment campaign to staff that service. That is what they are telling me is happening. The...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: As the Government Chief Whip will know, we dissented from the schedule last week. What I want to raise right now is the poll in The Irish News today that reveals that for the first time there is no longer a majority in favour of remaining in the union. In 2015, the figure was 59.1%. Now it is 48.6%. Will the Government hold statements on this matter and to commit to it? We need to talk...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Ivana Bacik: I welcome the Taoiseach's comments this morning that he is looking for a pathway to progress the occupied territories Bill. That is welcome. I also note, however, that he said it will be challenging to see it passed before the election, whenever that will be. On this side of the House, I think we would all be willing to facilitate the speedy passing of the Bill, given the ongoing...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Holly Cairns: I will speak on the same issue. As we speak genocide is happening in Gaza. We will probably never know the full extent of the death toll of the people lying under rubble. It is shameful that this State maintains economic, diplomatic and travel relationships with Israel, a state that is unashamedly committing war crimes by the second. The people of this country have wanted action for a...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Another day, another Israeli massacre in Gaza. Since dawn, another 45 innocents have been slaughtered by this terrorist regime. Almost certainly, the weapons that killed those people came from the United States and possibly travelled through Irish airspace. The US military, which supports all this, is also using our airports. Will the Government give us the debate we asked for about the...

Michael Fitzmaurice: I have acknowledged the person in the Taoiseach's office who has been in constant contact. I am not having a go at anybody here. I am having a go at the fact it has been meeting after meeting since then. There will be another meeting next Thursday. There has been plenty of talk, but there is only one thing the HSE has said, which is that it has no resolution. Imagine that. Those are the...
