Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: I think the planning has been granted, or if not, it is in the process. My issue is that is what the €2.2 million would probably be going towards but we need that capital infrastructure. Is there any update on the medical centre for New Ross? No. Dr. Henry was putting his hand up to me there.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: I turn to the reality of what is happening in our mental health services across the board. I do not know what kind of key performance indicators the HSE is using, but I can tell the witnesses of an adult who has been separated from her children for a couple of weeks, inflicted by her mother, who took her in because she is not coping mentally. She visited local mental health services where...

The first item of business is the minutes of our meetings of 17 and 22 October, which have been circulated to members. Do members wish to raise any matters in relation to the minutes?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: This is to do with the train traffic management system. Originally, the estimate was for €148 million. The range could now be somewhere between €175 million and €205 million, with the project estimated to come in at approximately €188 million, which is obviously a substantial difference. I do not doubt that the system is needed, but can we write to the NTA to...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: We are being told in this correspondence that the current status of the development is commercially sensitive and the focus of the project is being reviewed. Essentially, the project has stopped. We should write to the Irish Strategic Investment Fund to get a status update. This is a non-answer. I am not satisfied with a non-answer. We need a status update. Approximately €24...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Oct 2024)

Mairead Farrell: I will come in on that. I totally agree. It is not good enough. I understand that as a result of it being a commercial entity, the Department is able to claim that some of the information cannot be given, but we need to see if we can get any more information. That is agreed. We will do that. It is to be hoped we will get some kind of response before we meet again. Updated actions are...
