Simon Harris: I thank Deputy McDonald for raising this important issue. I will say at the outset, as the Ceann Comhairle has said to us before in this House, I am very conscious of discussing clinical details or, indeed, those of us discussing them who are not clinicians. I say that in a general sense but I say it in an important sense because Deputy McDonald asked me to provide operations when, of...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I welcome you all back. Apologies that the bells did not ring. Members might indulge me for a moment because I am conscious we are facing into an extremely busy parliamentary schedule with a number of very important items of business over the next number of weeks. Before we begin today's session, however, it would be remiss of me as Ceann Comhairle not to make a few remarks on the issue of...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)
Jim O'Callaghan: I have one or two questions. I am sorry if they have been asked already. I welcome all of our guests. My first question is for Mr. Carville. I am conscious that head 8 provides for the dissolution day of NAMA. I suppose it is a matter of ministerial discretion, but is it envisaged that the Minister will dissolve NAMA relatively quickly after the legislation is enacted?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)
Jim O'Callaghan: In terms of the assets and liabilities, head 9 states that they go to the Minister, are paid to the Exchequer or are transferred to the NTMA. What is the current thinking as to which line will be recommended to the Minister?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)
Jim O'Callaghan: This may have been answered previously, but do we have a headline on the assets and liabilities of NAMA at this stage?

Jim O'Callaghan: So it is clearly being wound down. In terms of the IBRC, what is the intention in respect of ongoing litigation? I know there are still some large pieces of litigation in respect of the IBRC. What is the intention in that regard? I am not asking about policy in respect of the cases but generally, under the legislation when it is enacted, what will be the consequence for the ongoing litigation?

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Renewable Energy Generation (18 Sep 2024)
Ossian Smyth: I thank the Deputy. The answer indicates the Department of housing has no plans to introduce more specific guidelines on how solar farms should be developed. The Deputy asked about that. The Department is saying it is bringing in regional capacity allocations. In other words, these are projections for the amount of solar power we have produced in each region of Ireland. Those are to be...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Projects (18 Sep 2024)
Ossian Smyth: The proof that road projects are proceeding and being completed in Kerry is shown by the Listowel bypass, which was completed this summer. This year, €4.7 million was allocated for the construction of new national roads in Kerry and another €9.7 million was allocated for the improvement of the existing network. This is in addition to approximately €119 million in...

Ossian Smyth: Due to the funding constraints for national roads this year, a prioritisation exercise was necessary. In line with the NDP and Government policy, the Minister for Transport has allocated national roads funding for 2024 in a manner which seeks to achieve the following outcomes: protection and renewal of the existing national road network; progressing major projects in or near construction;...
