Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: Given the remit of the Land Development Agency with regard to providing social and affordable housing, I ask the IFI to undertake to contact the agency again, given it is now in existence. Every opportunity to provide those types of properties from State agencies is important. Public housing is a priority of the Government. I ask Ms Campion to undertake to engage on that again to see-----

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the witnesses. For my sins I have been voting on the Planning and Development Bill next door so I apologise if I ask questions which have already been asked. I will review the transcript either way. There are three areas I want to talk about, the first of which is the capital budget for disabilities. Disability has been taken from health and is now with the witnesses'...

Paul McAuliffe: Mr. Ó Conaill got my hopes up at the beginning when he said it would be separate, but then he dashed them. The HSE capital plan process is so slow and one of the benefits of taking disability out of the Department of Health was the reason he just said, that it was not getting the priority it should and often capital projects were the poor relation of other capital projects. It would be...

Paul McAuliffe: My understanding is a service with a national remit still needs to be sponsored by the local CHO as part of the HSE capital programme. Is that correct?

Paul McAuliffe: I will give an example. A service in my area, Teach an Saol, provides resources and supports for those with acquired brain injuries. Its representatives met with the Minister several times and met with HSE estates. There is a real question around who is the decision-maker and the champion of the project. It is a national service so the benefit locally in the CHO is quite limited but...

Paul McAuliffe: I could understand the reluctance of a chief operating officer in a local CHO, with all the demands they have in their area, on being offered a project with a national remit. They are saying it will not be a priority for them because they have many other areas in their CHO. It requires a project like that to be carried at national level. Does Mr. Ó Conaill agree?

Paul McAuliffe: Excellent. My second question is on youth services. We have a funding system whereby youth services are funded with two streams. There is a justice stream and a Department of children stream. An analysis has to be done of those two streams. Many projects have both streams coming in. There are different models across the country, In Dublin, we have the old City of Dublin Youth Service...
