Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works
Chapter 8 - Contract payments in respect of Convention Centre Dublin

9:30 am

Mr. Ciaran O'Connor:

We have been given a list of a number of sites by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth goes through that list and determines which sites are appropriate from a social point of view and given other considerations they must take into account, such as ensuring there is back-up support for the people moving to those sites. We become involved in the technical assessment. I will be discreet here and say that there was an issue with a number of the sites we were offered, which were not quite the calibre of site we would look for. Some of the sites were very poor quality.
