Cormac Devlin: I thank Mr. Fitzgerald for this clarification. I now want to turn to the OECD report that accompanied the briefing documents. There is some very good reading in it. We had an extremely successful vaccination programme with the co-operation and support of the general public. It is stated that 70% of the population received two doses. Does Dr. Reid have an update on the second booster?...

Cormac Devlin: Does this include the older cohort as well as those at risk? There has been an advertising campaign for those at risk. Mr. Reid said there has been a slower uptake. Does he have a rough percentage?

Cormac Devlin: The HSE is right to look at other facilities such as pharmacies and GPs to support the roll-out programme and make it easier for people to access it. We do not know what the winter will hold. Is there a possibility of engaging outreach services for larger employers where employees will be based? I know it was not possible during the pandemic for obvious reasons but is this being...

Cormac Devlin: I ask the witnesses to forward the table. It would be very helpful to the committee. On the previous occasion we spoke about this we discussed cybersecurity. The attack was in May 2021 and in November 2021 the HSE sanctioned taking on a chief risk officer. Has this role been filled?

Cormac Devlin: In the annual report risk No. 13 specifically highlighted the cybersecurity ICT systems and infrastructure. With regard to the spend I hear what has been said about the roles being filled but they are individuals and the leads in this area. What other issues and commitments has the HSE made to ensure its ICT capabilities are up to scratch given that on the previous occasion we engaged on...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Reform of Insurance for Thatched Heritage Buildings: Discussion (29 Sep 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I thank both witnesses for their opening statements and for highlighting this issue. The power of this committee is that we can delve into these granular and important issues. As Deputy O'Donoghue said, this is our heritage. The witnesses may ask why a Deputy who represents Dún Laoghaire where there are no thatched roof cottages is speaking. Not too far from my constituency, in...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Reform of Insurance for Thatched Heritage Buildings: Discussion (29 Sep 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Obviously, that is not an option for everybody and it does not give them the exact cover they require, but the premiums of such insurance cover, as Mr. Darby pointed out, at between €2,000 and €6,000 are astronomical. Mr. Darby might speak to that further. It is not an ideal situation for anybody. Ms McNelis said that if insurance lapsed or people could not afford it, given...

Cormac Devlin: Dealing with the cost-of-living crisis is the top priority in budget 2023. The Government introduced a very significant €11 billion package on Tuesday to support households and businesses. The budget will continue to invest in public services, particularly our education, health, childcare and housing services, while increasing social protection and pension rates, supporting...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Reform of Insurance for Thatched Heritage Buildings: Discussion (29 Sep 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I thank Mr. McDonnell for his contribution. I have several questions. Mr. McDonnell mentioned there are between 2,000 and 3,000 thatched cottages in the Republic. To go back to the 2005 report, and taking it from what the witnesses have said that there has been little or no action on that, the executive summary at action 5 stated that a centralised database should be established. I assume...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I very much thank Mr. Fenlon and his colleagues for attending. The issue of the standing charge has come up quite a bit. I ask for a note to be sent to the committee on the calculation of that charge. I have received feedback, as have colleagues on the committee, regarding people who are extremely apprehensive about having no wriggle room in respect of that charge. It has increased over...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Is there an approximate figure? Electric Ireland has set aside a certain amount, so it must know, or even have a guesstimate, of how many customers it is looking at.
