Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Who inspected them? I am reliably informed that they are not compliant. I am also reliably informed that they are not compliant with parts N or Z. Can the witnesses state whether or not they are compliant? The BER rating is significantly lower than would be the case for a three-bed house that meets the regulations. What is the BER rating for the modular builds?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Is that cost included or is it additional to the €442,000?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Will Mr. Conlon hold on and not go too fast? When he says it is under consideration, that would mean it is on top of the €442,000.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: That does not sound like confidence to me. It means it is under negotiation. There seems to be a discussion or a disagreement. Is there?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Now is the time to give us the facts.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Mr. Conlon said there was a heritage prospect to the whole project because it was in the confines of Leinster House and it had to be looked at from that perspective. How much did that cost?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Were those conservation aspects given to the two RoanKabins outside the back door of Leinster House? It looks to me like they are two very ordinary RoanKabins you would get in the middle of any haulier's yard in the country. I do not see the correlation between the RoanKabins and this bike shelter.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: This is the Merrion Square side. It is the same side. It is the back door of this building. It is right outside the back door.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Is Mr. Conlon familiar with those cabins?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Mr. Conlon is familiar with the portacabins. Yet, he persists in telling us there was a heritage element to the bike shelter. Does he believe that?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: It is beginning to sound very much just like an excuse. I suggest the OPW is running out of excuses. The problem with not having accountability is that this is likely to happen again and again, which is the history of the OPW, as far as I have researched, going back 30 years. There has not been much improvement. Mr. Conlon is in a position to cure it. He will be back here next year. I...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: I will move on. With regard to the OPW's land banks and modular builds, how much land for building houses does the OPW own or is within the OPW?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: At the back door, on the opposite side. They are ordinary RoanKabins. Has Mr. Conlon has seen them?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: No, not properties - land.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Why then did the planning permission lapse on the former Department of Health headquarters this year?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: I apologise to Mr. Conlon but on the basis of time, the question is: why did the OPW allow the planning permission to lapse? Why did the OPW not look for an extension?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: How much did it cost to submit the planning application for the site?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: I need that figure. I am surprised he does not have that figure. It is fundamental to what we are talking about in a housing crisis. Will Mr. Conlon provide that figure? Before the break, somebody could submit it. I put the question again: why did the OPW allow the planning permission to lapse and not seek an extension? Usually, planning of this scale runs into the hundreds of...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: I will start with Mr. Conlon's remarks about OPW staff. I agree that we have great staff around the country but, unfortunately, it appears that some staff in Dublin have let those staff down. I do not think the issues we are facing around the precincts of Leinster House actually occur around the country. The disregard seems to be Dublin based. I know several OPW staff who carry out their...
