- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Cormac Devlin: To receiving planning. Mr. Coleman spoke about transparency for the organisation. As planning is achieved, is a pipeline visible on the LDA’s website for people to see how many LDA sites there are and which ones what have planning permission in order that the public are aware of these large sites being developed?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Cormac Devlin: Going back to Project Tosaigh and the sites the LDA has acquired that have planning permission, Mr. Coleman said some of them are not straightforward and I accept that. He said there were 8,000 units proposed to be constructed through Project Tosaigh by 2028. How many units were delivered under Project Tosaigh last year? How many are to be delivered by the end this year?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Cormac Devlin: How are these sites, with planning through Project Tosaigh, acquired? How do they come to the LDA's attention and what is the optimal number involved? What criteria apply in deciding whether a site should or should not be selected?

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)
Cormac Devlin: That makes sense. I thank Mr. Coleman for that clarification. Turning to the C and AG's report, one of the issues - this is also highlighted in the LDA's financial statements - is the reliance on the spreadsheet accounting system. On the basis of what Mr. Coleman said, we know that this is being addressed right now. The LDA was incorporated in March 2022. Obviously, there was an unfunded...

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Cormac Devlin: I only have one minute remaining. On the pensions arrangements, for, relatively speaking, a fledging organisation, there seems to be quite an array of pension arrangements for staff. There are 83 in total. Will Mr. Coleman outline the rationale behind that and indicate why there is such variance between the pension arrangements in place for different staff?

Cormac Devlin: I thank Mr. Coleman very much for all that. I appreciate it.
- Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Ukraine War (10 Oct 2024)

- Electricity Costs (Emergency Measures) Domestic Accounts Bill 2024: Second Stage (9 Oct 2024)
Cormac Devlin: I welcome the opportunity to examine the Electricity Costs (Emergency Measures) Domestic Accounts Bill 2024. The climate action committee waived pre-legislative scrutiny of it, as it has done for other Bills, to ensure the credits land on time for householders and that the work behind the scenes can be done for householders to benefit. The €250 energy credit will be spread over...

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: I welcome the witnesses. At the outset, I will say that we seldom have such a stark report and statement from the C and AG, but given the severity of the issues at stake here, the witnesses are back five months later to discuss these accounts. Speaking of accounts and echoing what the C and AG's opening statement discussed, what is the status of the 2022 and 2023 accounts today?

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: When were they due to be? Surely, the witnesses have a timeframe for PwC.

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: Is there any particular reason for that apart from the obvious one of why the witnesses are here today?

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: From the perspective of the committee and on this point, I would argue that within five months of today, the witnesses might be back before us to discuss matters when the Comptroller and Auditor General gets the report done on those accounts given what we are discussing at length here today and just last May. I think we will need to look at those accounts in more detail. Turning to the...

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: I appreciate that and that is true. In terms of the reforms that have been done, therefore, and this may be a query for Professor Kilcommins to speak to, I know they are under way and the report from Deloitte is dealing with that aspect, if I am not mistaken. The report from Mazars, then, is dealing with the cultural aspect.
