- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) James O'Connor: I do not for one second take away the serious security issues on Merrion Street. Somebody was able to drive around Dublin of an evening and drive into the gates of Áras an Úachtaráin. The same person was then able to come down to Merrion Street and drive into the gates of the Department of the Taoiseach and then into the gates of Leinster House, and get away with it. That...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) James O'Connor: We are not getting anywhere. I want us to reflect on the second part. In regard to the bike shelter, is information available yet on who the requests came from? Do we have to wait until afterwards?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) James O'Connor: That is perfect. In the final two minutes that remain to me, I am sorry to frustrate other members of the committee about domestic matters in Cork East, but Storm Babet was major. It flooded nearly 700 homes and businesses. I appreciate the amount of time Mr. Casey has spent down there. It has been noticed. I want the witnesses to keep coming. I do not want to continuously undermine...
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) James O'Connor: I thank the Chair. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge that 12 months have passed since Storm Babet. A huge body of work has been undertaken locally by the local authority and in conjunction with the OPW in 2023 in trying to advance the Midleton flood relief scheme, which has been long overdue. I wish to acknowledge that at the start of my remarks. I might come back to Mr. Casey...

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) James O'Connor: There needs to be accountability on this. It is hard to know where to start. For an agency in charge of 2,500 properties across the State, there is an unmerciful amount of, what we call, blindfolded trust on the OPW's side of the table. This has done inordinate damage to the reputation of our national Parliament and to the public's perception of what the State is spending hard-earned...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Engagement with Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications on COP29 (22 Oct 2024)
Eamon Ryan: I thank the Cathaoirleach and members of the committee for inviting me to discuss COP29, which is scheduled to commence in Baku, Azerbaijan, in less than three weeks. I recently attended the pre-COP meetings in Baku, during which I was honoured to be formally announced by the COP29 presidency as one half of the ministerial pairing leading negotiations on adaptation. I thank the Chair for...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Engagement with Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications on COP29 (22 Oct 2024)
Eamon Ryan: I agree. We have an obligation on the international stage, wherever we are, to raise the concern we have about what is happening in the Middle East. I do not want in any way to minimise that, but we have similar concerns about what is happening in Ukraine, Sudan, South Sudan and elsewhere. However, "Yes" is the answer. We would look for whatever opportunity we can. We need to remember...
