- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: General Oversight of EirGrid: Discussion (30 Jan 2024)
Cormac Devlin: It was good that there was a response to temporary emergency generation. We had to have some sort of capacity within the market. Mr. Foley makes the point around Moneypoint as well. How long was this temporary measure or sticking plaster meant to be in operation? Given what Mr. Foley is saying about the latest auction, if the next one does not materialise with many bidders, we are relying...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: General Oversight of EirGrid: Discussion (30 Jan 2024)
Cormac Devlin: Exactly. That is fine. I will focus in on Dublin because Mr. Mahon mentioned powering up Dublin in his opening remarks. Mr. Mahon mentioned the Blackrock to Poolbeg connection. I thought Carrickmines was included that. Is that in the next phase or is that in the planning process? What stage is Carrickmines at?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: General Oversight of EirGrid: Discussion (30 Jan 2024)
Cormac Devlin: Mr. Mahon might send the committee a note on that element of it. I must commend EirGrid on the extensive engagement that was done. A lot of money was put behind that campaign and it was really well done. Obviously, there are still people who were not aware of it, but that is a different day's work. I will ask Dr. Ryan about his comments about the offshore. The Cathaoirleach mentioned...

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (8 Feb 2024)
Cormac Devlin: It is good to engage with the witnesses again. I thank them for the information they supplied. As has been said, GSOC is necessary. I understand the purpose of the organisation but, obviously, it is not perfect and the witnesses are striving to improve that. Mr. Justice MacCabe mentioned the 26 vacancies in the organisation. Given the issue that arose in the public domain in April last...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (8 Feb 2024)
Cormac Devlin: Yes, but it was surprising to many members of the public to see that this could have carried on in plain sight and, in theory, from what we have read, over a length of time. Given that GSOC is hiring new individuals, what new processes are in place to check their backgrounds?

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (8 Feb 2024)
Cormac Devlin: I understand, but I refer to internal reviews of what access the individual had and so on. Has that been thoroughly reviewed?
