Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022) Neasa Hourigan: As part of the service level agreement, was there a requirement that every staff member be Garda vetted?

Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022) Neasa Hourigan: I will move away from homelessness. There has been a project in Dublin City Council since 2019, when the new crop of councillors came in, to look at the remunicipalisation of waste. It is driven particularly by the difficulty with inner-city provision of waste services. It is difficult to get brown bins in inner-city areas. Many people live in terraced houses. We see a good model in...

Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022) Neasa Hourigan: Sorry. When Mr. Doyle says that, what he means is that if such an authority were to do that, funding would come from a source that is not the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022) Neasa Hourigan: As the Department has overall oversight of local authorities, however, is it an issue or a policy initiative that the Department would take any issue with or that it would have any concerns about?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022) Neasa Hourigan: I thought that Mr. Doyle might say that and the reason I am asking this is because the de-municipalisation of waste was mostly a cost issue for the majority of local authorities, in that this they simply could not make it work. Mr. Doyle’s Department has oversight over a great deal of that funding, which is why I ask this question.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022) Neasa Hourigan: Finally, in the minute of speaking time remaining to me, I suspect, even though I missed some of the earlier part of the session, that people have asked Mr. Doyle about the local property tax and the breakdown of how that is applied to different local authorities and to that Central Fund. I have a general question around not so much that aspect of it but around the calculation of funding...

Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022) Neasa Hourigan: Following on from that, I am very aware that the local property tax, having sat through the negotiations where we churned all of this out, is one aspect of this but there are other metrics and there is another calculation which is applied to local authorities which does not relate solely to the property tax, in terms of accessing funds. Outside of the property tax, does that calculation...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022) Neasa Hourigan: If Mr. Kelly wants to refresh his memory, I asked this question of the Department of Housing, Local Government in 2020 at a meeting of this committee, I believe. It would seem to me that trauma-supported or trauma-led care of people in homelessness is quite a complex issue. A bare minimum would be to include Garda vetting as part of a service level agreement when entering into a contract...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jun 2022)
Neasa Hourigan: I might pick up on Ms Weldon's points about the negative connotations when we talk about disability. A number of opening statements today identified how rich and diverse the lives of women with disability are. Many are parents. Many are also carers. People who are not engaged with this discussion may not properly identify that many people in our society have a disability of one type or...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jun 2022)
Neasa Hourigan: If I may, I would like to interject on a point of information. We have moved to a target of 6% in the Civil Service in Ireland, whereas the target is 10% in the UK, which is what we should be aiming for.
- Written Answers — Department of Public Expenditure and Reform: Office of Public Works (28 Jun 2022)
Neasa Hourigan: 232. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will ensure that graduate architects (details supplied) in a graduate training scheme at the Office of Public Works will receive the same pay rise as their colleagues at the same level in the same scheme in the Department of Education and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage; and if he will make a statement...
