Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Cormac Devlin: The donation of 365 ventilators to India is very welcome and was the right thing to do because the authorities there had a far worse situation on their hands than we did. To clarify, is Mr. Mulvany saying that approximately 600 machines were unusable?

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Cormac Devlin: What is the life span of a ventilator? I ask Mr. Gloster to excuse my ignorance on the topic. How long can the ventilators in storage be held onto for use in the future?

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Cormac Devlin: Are they well stored? I hope the committee does not have to deal with a situation at a future date whereby we discover they are in some sort of shed out in west Dublin or something like that.

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Cormac Devlin: That is fine. The advance payment issue was referenced by the Comptroller and Auditor General in his opening remarks. A weekly expenditure report was provided by the HSE to the Department of Health but the advance payments were not included in it. I have a question regarding the Department's perspective on this. It is a complete blindsiding of the Department when the figures that were...

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Cormac Devlin: From the HSE's perspective, what was the rationale for excluding the advance payments from the flash reports, as I think the Department refers to them?

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Cormac Devlin: I have less than a minute left. Could I just turn to the NTPF please? Mr. Flood is very welcome. Given the volume of waiting lists, he might furnish a note on the targets, if he does not have it to hand. In terms of the number of people applying for NTPF funding and availing of it, he might just furnish the committee with the last four years of the uptake of the NTPF service and also the...

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Cormac Devlin: What I am trying to get at is whether these are on target, in terms of the NTPF's set targets. Has the fund exceeded them, met them, or are the numbers less than the targets?

Cormac Devlin: 7. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence for a report on the work of the external oversight body for the Defence Forces; if membership is being expanded; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22686/23]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (16 May 2023)
Cormac Devlin: I have raised this issue on a number of occasions. I ask the Minister for a report on the work of the external oversight body for the Defence Forces and whether membership is being expanded. As he will be aware, following his meeting with the Women of Honour group, among others, there have been calls for that.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (16 May 2023)
Cormac Devlin: I thank the Minister. I want to acknowledge his swift action and engagement since the publication of the 13 recommendations, as well as his recent engagement with various groups. He will be aware of the opposition of the Women of Honour group and others to the IRG report recommendation that membership of the external oversight body of the Defence Forces should include the Secretary General...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (16 May 2023)
Cormac Devlin: I was one of the people welcoming the publication of the report, because it was eagerly awaited by all Members of the House. The Association of Retired Commissioned Officers, ARCO, while welcoming the establishment of the external oversight body, has expressed concern about the imbalance of the defence representation in its membership. ARCO says the inclusion of a civilian defence official...

Cormac Devlin: 82. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government how he is financing the construction of affordable apartments under cost rental; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23641/23]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (18 May 2023)
Cormac Devlin: This question concerns affordable cost rental. The matter of affordable housing was raised, as has cost rental in its own right. As the Minister will be aware, in my constituency of Dún Laoghaire, ground has finally been broken and progress made at Shanganagh Castle, which comprises nearly 600 units, and 42 units are under construction in Loughlinstown, to name but a few. However,...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (18 May 2023)
Cormac Devlin: I thank the Minister for that reply. He mentioned the rents for cost rental and it is a very attractive prospect for many people. For instance, I have been contacted by a number of individuals who are at the higher end of the social housing threshold. They are eligible for social housing support but they are really keen on the cost-rental model. Can flexibility be given to the local...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (18 May 2023)
Cormac Devlin: I thank the Minister for all that information. In particular, he mentioned the first home scheme. I am aware of constituents coming to my office regarding the various new schemes, including, first home and help-to-buy. All those initiatives that have been reformed over the past while are helping. Returning to the original point on the cost rental, it is very welcome and necessary that...
