- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Danny Healy-Rae: The Greens say it.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: No, the Greens have never said that. I do not need to speak for the Green Party but it does not say that either because it follows the evidence. We saw figures published today that show more progress on emissions reduction, farmers yet again stepping up and, quite frankly, farming and agriculture making more progress than some other parts of our economy, which should be acknowledged as...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: It is great that we have it. You guys did not want it.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: We have it anyway - we can agree on that much - so it is now a matter of having a discussion about how to spend it. I am sure we will have that conversation again. That does provide opportunities in terms of how we will use that windfall tax revenue to invest further in infrastructure. I imagine we will have a longer debate in the not-too-distant future but I do not accept that this...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Richard O'Donoghue: The reason I got into politics - I have been a building contractor all my life and I am a block layer by trade - is that I want to help build for the future. I want to use my experience. I do not build for local authorities. I have always had our own jobs to do. For 40 or 50 years, we have been promised infrastructure. The Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins, who is sitting behind...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Will the Deputy allow the Taoiseach answer?
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: I think the Deputy meant to say when I stepped up.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Richard O'Donoghue: Stepped up or stepped down, whichever.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Mattie McGrath: It is like Lanigan's Ball. He stepped out and I stepped in.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: When I became leader, I appointed a Minister from the Deputy's constituency to the Cabinet. The Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins, also serves the Deputy's constituency. Both of them advocate for the area. Statements of an absolute nature that no infrastructure has been delivered do not stand up to any degree of scrutiny.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It states: A significant level of works is required to bring the site up to standard. The average cost per unit of developing sites, including connectivity to services - gas, water and communications - and extensive remediation works on suboptimal sites available is in the region of €150,000. I fail to grasp how I have €442,000, and if I subtract €150,000 for the...
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I will move on because it does not sound like Mr. Conlon is going to give me an answer. It is entirely unsatisfactory that he said that a unit is €150,000, which is the top end figure, and I am missing €150,000 in his calculations. I will move on. In terms of delivering value for money, Mr. Conlon said the cost is approximately €150,000 for 45 sq. m, which according...
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I had a look at HUF Haus, the German company that does really fancy, Dermot Bannon-type houses, costs €2,000 to €2,500 per sq. m. Shomera is another, although I am not necessarily comparing like for like but, including installation and construction on-site, the cost is €2,081 per sq. m. HUF Haus produces top-of-the-range units. Mr. Conlon is saying we are paying 150%...
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Had the OPW gone to Shomera, it would have cost €2,081 per sq. m.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I am flabbergasted by those answers. I had a number of issues to go into by way of contractors' lists but the Chair was very good to let me in when I arrived late.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Catherine Murphy: We will go for a second round of five minutes each.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: -----modular unit.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Each modular unit cost €150,000 and is approximately 45 sq. m. That puts the average cost per square metre – I am only running the calculation now - at €3,333. Am I correct?
