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

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It really is a significant amount. If that maps out to the €4.2 billion, we are talking about close on €500 million that will en up being non-compliant procurement.

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

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: If I map those trends onto the €4.2 billion, we could be talking about a sum of the order of €500 million.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Marine Protected Areas (19 Sep 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: ..., but we need to have that underpinned. The Minister of State has done brilliant work on national parks too. That also needs to be underpinned by legislation. Simply writing a designation on a map, unless we understand in a comprehensive legal way what the protections offered for those areas are, does not amount to a great hill of beans. I will push the Minister of State again. When...

Written Answers — Department of Public Expenditure and Reform: Office of Public Works (18 Sep 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: 207. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if the OPW has a full and complete audit of its estate portfolio, with properties mapped and detailed, including whether a formal rental agreement is in place for all properties let; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36071/24]

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: ...another very expensive area. I know a farmer who put half a million into his slurry storage, and the repayments on those loans are predicated on the milk cheque. My concern is that we should be mapping this forward because if something happens to displace the sale of milk, then farm families are in real difficulty. Alternative meat is a while away because it is difficult to crack. I...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: ...transport a great deal. I use a private website instead, particularly for the No. 360 route, which has units within the buses. The website shows me where the bus is on the road. I can pull a map up and see that the bus is passing Clarinwood, so I had better get my skates on and get up the road. In the vast majority of cases, we do not have the same information in respect of Local Link...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Our Rural Future and Town Centre First Policies: Discussion (1 May 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: .... What are the witnesses' views on the lessons learned under the collaborative town centre health check and whether those lessons have really been learned at a Government policy level? Is that mapped through? On heritage-led regeneration, I will be at the opening of the Garter Lane centre on O'Connell Street right in the heart of Waterford city on Friday. It is an absolutely fantastic...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Our Rural Future and Town Centre First Policies: Discussion (1 May 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Will Mr. Doyle come in on the tracking question? I always get the abbreviation wrong. It is the collaborative town centre health check, CTCHC. Will Mr. Doyle comment on how it is mapped with the town teams now?

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: ...1 Secretary General. I will ask about the implementation of the Building Momentum pay increases. There has been quite a shift in terms of the pay that is received by Secretaries General. How quickly was that mapped onto the pay grade of Mr. Hill? Somebody else within the FAI might want to respond. As the pay grades for the Secretaries General moved under Building Momentum, how...

Report of Joint Committee on Social Protection, Community and Rural Development and the Islands: Motion (1 Feb 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: ...our discussion on this report. The sustainable development goals, SDGs, which were adopted by United Nations member states in 2015, are a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and planet, and a roadmap for how we might all, as a global community, live better together on an equitable basis. They committed to tackling poverty, hunger and inequality by promoting sustainable...

When I look at the work we are trying to do to get our RHAs to map more closely with our CHOs, I see the fragmentation that is happening with the CDNTs whereby one school will refer children to three different teams and the teachers are tearing their hair out...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Energy Poverty: Discussion (17 Jan 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: The housing estate that I referred to earlier would stand out on the BER map to which Ms Buggie referred. It is the same with places around Ballybricken and in towards the centre of Waterford city. They can all be seen because the map is colour-coded, is it not?

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I would be interested in having some sort of rough calculation on that because if one maps it over a figure of over €1 billion, it essentially means that by allowing it to sit there, we are losing money. We are bleeding taxpayers' money through the differential between the interest rate. I am aware of the clock. On the European Social Fund, ESF, we got nothing in 2022. In the...

We can focus on Uisce Éireann, and the EPA has been critical of its achievements this morning, but at least I have a picture of those. I can at least look at the map and see whether Kilmore Quay needs to be addressed. There are many areas that are not captured, for example, Bunmahon in my constituency and Tramore pier at the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Report on Participation Income for Family Carers: Discussion (11 Oct 2023)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: ...a long time for what seems to everybody at this committee to be the right thing. I found the presentations really interesting and I apologise that I am going to be a little bit all over the map, because I have noted points along the way. I found a lot of the presentations very thought provoking, in particular the idea of the big bang versus incrementalism. It is important as well to...

I understand the rationale behind that but from talking to people, I could identify on a map of Ireland where it is we are short of rangers. Those boots on the ground are absolutely critical. I ask about recruitment and retention particularly with regard to that. The strategic...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Local Link Transport Services: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: ...as I stepped off the Frankfurt train in Wabern, the bus pulled up. I did not have to think about it, worry about it or preplan. We need to get to that stage. I have a concern when I read the maps for Connecting Ireland that, in many cases, the route is shadowing routes a heavy rail connection. The route from Thomastown to Waterford city is an example. I would prefer people to be...
