- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Kevin Moran: I totally disagree with the Deputy. In 1979, when a previous Pope came here, the State got very much involved in delivering that for the people of Ireland. In regard to the Pope's visit for the Gathering of Families, we worked closely, as we have done in the past and continue to do so, to make sure that everything was properly in place in terms of security, safety and all the works involved...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Kevin Moran: When the tickets went online, half a million people applied for them. Once that number of people applied for the tickets, the OPW took on the task of running the event. A management plan was put in place. We then set out how we would run the event. In terms of that event or any event we host, security is of vital importance to the people. There are two different types of stewarding...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Kevin Moran: The way in which we run these types of events is set out in the estate management plan. We are obliged to work with those plans. This is not something that just happens. It involves a great deal of organisation. A management plan running to 1,200 pages was put in place to cover this event. We have to adhere to that. We work with the Garda, fire service, local authorities, the HSE and...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Kevin Moran: The Taoiseach made a request to the OPW in relation to holding the event. It was estimated that 500,000 people would attend. The OPW put in place a management plan for the event. I will not be drawn into a discussion on church versus State or anything like that. My job, as Minister of State, was to fulfil the request of the Taoiseach and that is what I did.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Kevin Moran: As we know, it was necessary to take down the gates of the Phoenix Park for reasons relating to the management and control of the papal visit. Temporary gates were erected. For crowd control purposes, the temporary gates were taken down before the Pope arrived and put back up when the event was over. That is the source of that approximate cost of €200,000.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Kevin Moran: As the Deputy can imagine, it would have been very difficult for one company to provide sufficient stewards for the event. The services were divided into a contract for stewarding outside the event and another for inside. It also took into account the other areas the Pope visited.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Kevin Moran: There is another estimated cost of €700,000. First, we had to go out to tender for the gates. This does not come about by just sending out a tender; there were different people involved in heritage issues from other Departments to look at how we would go about this. The gates are a protected structure and are part of the Phoenix Park. In order to get the gates properly in place for...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018) Kevin Moran: That is to take down the gates, to put up temporary gates, to take down the temporary gates and put the proper gates back up when the papal visit was over. The other cost of €700,000 was put out to tender for getting the gates sprayed, done up and getting them back to their original use.
