- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (9 Jul 2024)
Catherine Connolly: We are staying with the issue of flood defences but this time in Galway city. I am following up on a series of questions I posed previously. I ask for an update on the Coirib go Cósta project. In particular, I ask for dates because the original plan has changed and the project has moved out into the future. If the Minister of State could be specific, I would appreciate it.

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (9 Jul 2024)
Claire Kerrane: Question No. 43.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (9 Jul 2024)
Kieran O'Donnell: This is a matter that Deputy Connolly has brought up on many occasions. I have a response here which really just deals with the scheme itself, with which the Deputy is very familiar. The Deputy has asked for specifics in terms of timelines-----
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (9 Jul 2024)
Catherine Connolly: My question is grouped with Question No. 58.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (9 Jul 2024)
Kieran O'Donnell: Yes, there are two questions but in terms of the answer I have here, the standard answer is basically dealing with the scheme but what the Deputy wants is to deal specifically with the timing on it.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (9 Jul 2024)
Catherine Connolly: Yes, I want the dates.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (9 Jul 2024)
Kieran O'Donnell: Obviously, I will deal with that. It is something that I will address for the Deputy. There have been three programmes for this scheme, namely, a baseline programme, an updated programme and now, a revised programme. Upon the appointment of consulting engineers in November 2020, an updated programme identified the need for coastal assessment, including on the extent of wave overtopping and...

Claire Kerrane: I am sorry to interrupt but I think that may be the incorrect question. Are you reading the reply for Nos. 43 and 58?
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (9 Jul 2024)
Kieran O'Donnell: Yes. I am reading the reply. I was called for No. 43 and am reading the reply. Sorry, I am not actually reading the reply because Deputy Connolly has brought this up on many occasions and I have dealt with it on many occasions. I want to deal with the particular matter she has raised. If I read the transcript as provided, it will not address the Deputy's concerns. The recently...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Development Plan (9 Jul 2024)
Paschal Donohoe: I will certainty keep that in mind. Every TD always makes the case for investment in their county and constituency but I am particularly aware of the funding and infrastructure needs Donegal has and the challenges it faces in making sure the road infrastructure and public transport links are in place. I have heard the Deputy make the case over many years that they are not. We will continue...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Public Expenditure Policy (9 Jul 2024)
Bernard Durkan: 39. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he is satisfied that expenditure targets in respect of all Government Departments remain in line with projections for the current year and subsequently; whether he has identified any deviations from these targets in any particular area of expenditure; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29515/24]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Public Expenditure Policy (9 Jul 2024)
Bernard Durkan: As a point of order, I bring to the attention of the House that my question is No. 39, not No. 40, and deserved to be taken first in ordinary questions. A precedent has obviously been set whereby somebody can convert from ordinary questions to priority questions. No disrespect to Deputy Pringle at all but I will not let it pass again. That should be brought to the attention of those...

Claire Kerrane: Point taken.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Public Expenditure Policy (9 Jul 2024)
Bernard Durkan: That is with no disrespect to the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach because she had nothing to do with it. The question is one I have raised before. It concerns the importance of ensuring all Government expenditure targets remain within their projected arena, that Departments have a good chance of achieving their targets and that the targets will not cause a problem for the economy. I will...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Public Expenditure Policy (9 Jul 2024)
Paschal Donohoe: I thank the Deputy for raising an important issue for me. Expenditure profiles for 2024 were completed by all Votes in February and submitted to my Department. Performance against these profiles is used in-year to monitor the expenditure position and details are published monthly in the Fiscal Monitor. At the end of the second quarter of 2024, gross voted expenditure stood at...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Public Expenditure Policy (9 Jul 2024)
Bernard Durkan: What is the extent to which the Minister - obviously continuously - monitors the performance of each Department, with particular reference to the areas he mentioned, in regard to infrastructure such as health services, schools, children and the disability sector? Is he satisfied, given the expansion of the population and ongoing demands, that targets are being met or will be met? Are...
