Catherine Murphy: I have a quick question. It is not on this but on something we talked about this morning, the EU funds that are not audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General. Who audits those?

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: It had to do with Castletown. I doubt we will be given the legal advice but we did ask for some additional information last week. That is probably the extent of what we will get. There is one item of note. What instruction was given to OPW valuers with regard to Castletown?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: I teased it out a little bit. I believe the Department agreed to give us the information I was looking for but it is not as clear-cut as I thought it was. I am happy to wait to see what it sends us.

Catherine Murphy: Did I not flag the correspondence regarding Tusla and Children's Health Ireland?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: I will be very brief. We are all aware of the money that was allocated for a specific purpose and was then not spent on that purpose. It would be worth our while to write to CHI to ask how that decision was made.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: I will raise a second issue very quickly. Tusla came back to us with the number of children and young people reported missing. A footnote states that they were in non-statutory, non-regulated and non-procured placements. We understand that non-statutory means that it was not a State agency. It jumps out at me that these placements were non-regulated and non-procured. How can a placement...

Catherine Murphy: Yes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: If we are adding another meeting to that list, Children's Health Ireland is one that comes to mind. CHI will also have responsibility for the national paediatric hospital and there are a few issues there that would be worth discussing with it. How money is allocated and spent is certainly an area I would like to explore further with it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Yes. I am very anxious that we do not push Uisce Éireann down much further because the amount of money involved is gigantic.

Emer Higgins: The Deputy is right that the initiatives he referred to are all really positive. Investing in the old Ambassador Theatre building and reopening the Iveagh Markets would be really beneficial to Dublin. Those are the kinds of projects the task force is considering. The task force has already met. It has 12 weeks to report to the Government. When we receive the report, we certainly will...

Gary Gannon: I completely agree with the Minister of State. I have had some engagement with the task force on changes I would like to see made in the city. It is a cross-departmental body, with involvement by the Departments of Justice and Health as well as the Minister of State's Department. One of the recommendations I expect it to offer is to do with making the city more vibrant. That will require...

Emer Higgins: The Minister, Deputy Burke, chairs a hospitality and tourism forum that looks at a lot of the issues the Deputy has raised such as access outside working hours to hospitality, including cafés, and the importance of having a vibrant night-time economy. The Minister co-chairs the forum with the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin. That initiative shows the level of cross-departmental...

Louise O'Reilly: 4. To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he is aware of the proposed decision of a company to transfer its manufacturing activities from its site in Balbriggan to Britain by the end of December 2024; if he will engage with workers and the community regarding the matter; and the measures that can be taken to stimulate the creation of good jobs in Balbriggan.

Louise O'Reilly: I previously raised the situation at the Wavin Ireland factory in Balbriggan with the Minister. At the time, in committee, I indicated my intention to raise it on the floor of the Dáil. I would appreciate if he would focus specifically on the steps and measures that can be taken to stimulate the creation of good jobs in Balbriggan. We are sorry to see the jobs go at Wavin Ireland. We...
