Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) Alan Dillon: One final question relates to the cost of building inflation. I had a specific case in my own constituency around Ballyhaunis primary care centre where we have a contractor offsite for the past two years. What is the process or protocol in place? Certainly, the people in Ballyhaunis and the surrounding areas of east Mayo have been left in limbo land, not knowing where this project is...

Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) Alan Dillon: I wish to raise the current Fórsa union embargo that is in place around their administrative and management grade staff, their continued industrial action and the fact that they are not engaging in the political forum. When will this be resolved or come to a conclusion?

Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) Alan Dillon: This has been going on since October. The drip-feed of information has been really concerning. We live in a democratic country. Access to information holding those to account is a primary function of our parliamentary activities. For employees of the HSE not to respond to basic-level queries through the parliamentary question forum is certainly really troubling to our function and to the...

Alan Dillon: When officials from the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform appeared before the committee previously, we discussed their remit as the competent authority to sign off on the consents in relation to projects covered by the Arterial Drainage Act. They then outsourced that to external environmental consultants. The real difficulty lies with the...

Alan Dillon: The Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform. When these consultants return their report and analysis, it then takes time for the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform to interpret the results and then get ministerial approval. The real frustration within the Oireachtas is that there is no accountability for...

We need a briefing on that consent piece. I ask for the timelines on various projects that are in progress and how long it is taking for the Department to get consents through on these projects.

Alan Dillon: Yes.

Alan Dillon: My only issue with that is that most local authorities are the lead authority in this regard, which means there might be an issue in respect of the requirements of the Arterial Drainage Acts regarding the independence of an external authority or Department and the issue of consent. The independence aspect might be an issue.

Alan Dillon: I would envisage difficulty with the committee's questioning and interrogation of the Grant Thornton report in that it is currently redacted and the names of people are anonymous so we do not know who knew what or who is referenced in the report. An enormous amount of time will be taken up with person 1, person 2, person 3 and the 26 different people involved. If the committee is extending...
