- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: Midleton was promised flood defences after 2017. Obviously, there were horrendous floods there last year or the year before, which put lives in danger.

I know that this is not an OPW-particular project, but the Navan to Dublin rail line has been promised since 2002 and its projected completion date is in, I think, 2036. It was built in three years during the 1860s with picks and shovels. What is happening in this country in terms of the delivery of public infrastructure?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: I know that it is legislation, and I understand we are heavily regulated in these spaces and that there is a need for a change in the regulations, but we also need to make sure the organisations that are tasked with these jobs do their best to make sure they happen in a reasonable and sane timeframe.
