Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: I acknowledge what Mr. Conlon said in his opening statement about new financial thresholds being put in place of between €200,000 and €500,000. My colleague spoke earlier about the security hut beside Government Buildings. I heard what the witnesses said about all of the various ancillary services it provides and about its necessity. Nobody doubts the necessity of it. Mr....

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: By "near", does Ms Collier mean on the campus near the main building or off the campus, in the public domain?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: Was there a subsequent request for another bike shelter to be built before this one was constructed?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: A much-lower-cost project, I would hope, would involve the existing bike shelters beside the security hut. I will get to the other security hut in a second. At the security hut here in Leinster House, there are freestanding bike stands. Was any consideration given to expanding this site and simply attaching a roof to the existing security hut, maybe at a fraction of the cost?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: It is in a great location for those in the National Gallery of Ireland visitor area. These visitors are getting great photographs of the shelter. With regard to the location chosen, I made inquiries in the Houses of the Oireachtas because we were not aware of what the excavation works entailed and how long they were going on. It materialised that there was a huge amount of time between...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Mairead Farrell: That sounds good, okay. That was a good idea after that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Mairead Farrell: Is that because of cost overruns?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Mairead Farrell: No matter what happened with the bike shelter costing €336,000 and so on, is it correct that the OPW would still at this point have had to tender another framework? I just want to understand it.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Mairead Farrell: I note the external review of the OPW carried out in 2014. I understand there were two reviews; one of which had 60-plus recommendations while the previous one had 12 or something like that. How many recommendations from the second review related to recommendations that had previously been stated in the previous review? In the 2014 external review it states the "OPW operates largely on...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Mairead Farrell: Has the OPW looked at that whole issue of data collection in terms of the contractors, the tenders, what costs ran over when the taxpayer takes the risk, that kind of thing?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Mairead Farrell: Does the OPW look at that centrally?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: I welcome Mr. Conlon and all the other witnesses. Turning to the bike shelter for a few minutes, I do not know if Mr. Conlon saw anybody taking photographs with it on his way in. I say that in jest but I say it with a tinge of seriousness because I often see people, through the National Gallery fence, getting selfies with the bike shelter. That shows how serious the cost overruns on this...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Mairead Farrell: But Mr. Conlon would agree that it is strange.
