Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: In order to own it outright, that would be the right price. If you wanted to own it outright, that would have to be because of the affordable nature of it. You would have be-----

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: Yes, I know that.

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?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

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

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

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...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: What is the cost of delivery then for the two?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: Which one does this relate to now?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

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: So the cost of delivery of the €478,000 two-bed houses is €426,000

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: What is the distinction?

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.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)

Fergus O'Dowd: Apologies have been received from Deputies Tully and Feighan and Sorcha Eastwood MP, Dáire Hughes MP and John Finucane MP. On behalf of the committee, I welcome our guests to our meeting today: Ms Andrée Murphy, deputy director of Relatives for Justice; Ms Orla O'Connor, director, Ms Kate Mitchell, head of development and policy, and Ms Rachel Coyle, head of campaigns and policy,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)

Fergus O'Dowd: The addresses from the witnesses were very powerful. I thank them for the hard work they have been doing in reaching out to people in their communities. I have been very impressed in particular by what the witnesses collectively say about the need for consent and representation - gender and otherwise. If we are to build a new Ireland, the issue that goes to the heart of the matter is that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)

Fergus O'Dowd: If the witnesses wish, they may reply to any of those comments at any stage. Senator Black has another function she needs to go to and asked if I could give her the Fine Gael space.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)

Fergus O'Dowd: There is a huge outbreak of racism. It starts in the political domain. They are using coded words and gathering negative momentum and causing strife and trouble. We are in a different Ireland now. The potential for negative outcomes is growing, certainly visibly on the streets and in our political discourse. We need to deal with it.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)

Fergus O'Dowd: That is a key point. The difficulty is that if we have a Border poll before the time is right, without having public buy-in, it will be hugely divisive. The consequences for relationships between people, whatever they might be before that, could be catastrophic. A negative outcome risks tearing everything apart again. That is the difficulty I see. It is so important to get it right....
