Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Colm Burke: I welcome the witnesses. I thank them for their presentations and for dealing with the questions earlier. I want to focus on the issue of funding for sports capital projects and the co-ordination between the various Departments and local authorities. One of the issues we are focusing on is the building of additional housing and apartments. Is there a policy within the Department to...

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Colm Burke: FAI officials have written to the Department saying that they are not going ahead with it but they still have a lease on the land. Has the Department had any communication with, say, the county council, to know what it is proposed will be done with this 30 acres? We have a problem now in that the city boundary was extended. The urban development has been within the city, not in the county....

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Colm Burke: This goes back to the issue of co-ordination with the local authorities. That is an engagement with the FAI, but we now have a problem in that a huge number of houses are being built in this area. On one site alone, 600 new houses are being built. The local schools are bulging at the seams with the number of students that they have to accommodate. I am wondering about facilities then....

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Colm Burke: Could I ask the Department to communicate with local authorities? I am talking about both local authorities, because this land is on the boundary between the city and county. The main benefits would actually be for people living in the city whereas the land is in the county. I ask that this communication would take place.

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Colm Burke: With regard to forward planning where there are large-scale apartment complexes and housing projects, what level of engagement is there with local authorities once the planning process has been dealt with?

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Colm Burke: Do the witnesses think we could do more forward planning in that area? This committee is about getting value for money for the taxpayer. Having seen what has occurred in many areas around the country, that co-ordination is coming at a late stage. Could we get better value by having it at a far earlier stage?

The OPW, the Department and the National Gallery of Ireland were involved in that. There were issues to be resolved and there was an arbitration process. What was the outcome of the arbitration process? I know it was spread over a number of years but what was the final cost of the project?
