Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital (18 Nov 2020)

Martin Conway: Essentially, then, there was a stand-off. The contractor refused to go on site until it got the money. Is that what happened?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital (18 Nov 2020)

Martin Conway: Was there a stand-off for a period of seven weeks where the contractor refused to go on site until it got the money and then, eventually, caved in after seven weeks?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital (18 Nov 2020)

Martin Conway: It is clear to me the contractor was not on site and was looking for money. Mr. Gunning can dress it up whatever way he likes but that appears to be the reality, which is a shocking state of affairs in terms of the board's relationship with the contractor. It seems to continue. In his opening statement, Mr. Gunning referred to hundreds of claims for hundreds of millions of euro and said he...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital (18 Nov 2020)

Martin Conway: What is the total cost of that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital (18 Nov 2020)

Martin Conway: All that has happened and we are still in a situation where there are significant delays and hundreds of claims for hundreds of millions of euro. It does not, therefore, seem to have worked. Colleagues here have tried to pin Mr. Gunning down in terms of a date as to when the building will be completed and when the board will be in a position to hand it over to Children's Health Ireland. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital (18 Nov 2020)

Martin Conway: With any development, a person has an indicative date. It should not be a situation that the board will be able to give us that indicative date in quarter 1 of 2021. In Mr. Gunning's view, what is the worst case scenario?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital (18 Nov 2020)

Martin Conway: Please do. We are attempting to move this project along. In the absence of a compliant programme from the contractor, it is extremely difficult to provide the committee with the level of detail it requires and that we ourselves require.

Martin Conway: The taxpayer requires it.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital (18 Nov 2020)

Martin Conway: In spite-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital (18 Nov 2020)

Martin Conway: Good. This will be my last question because my time is running out. Mr. Gunning has indicated that he expects the project to go beyond the €1.433 billion. I put a worse-case scenario to him. Does he expect we will have much change out of €2 billion when this is done and dusted?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital (18 Nov 2020)

Martin Conway: That is fine.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Nov 2020)

Martin Conway: I wish to have a debate on health, specifically general health with regard to vaccines, and the flu vaccine in particular. It is regrettable to have a situation where there is mixed messaging emerging about the flu vaccine. We are told by the HSE and the Department of Health that there is an adequate amount of the vaccine, but the circumstantial evidence throughout the country is that there...

Martin Conway: I move: "That Second Stage be taken now."

Seanad: Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (24 Nov 2020)

Martin Conway: I welcome the Minister of State back to the House. This legislation comes before the Houses annually.I welcome the fact that we are not to see any increase in stamp duty, at least as it affects customers of health insurance companies. Health insurance has been an absolute blessing for hundreds of thousands of families over many years. By and large, the health insurance industry has served...

Seanad: Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (24 Nov 2020)

Martin Conway: On Thursday, 26 November 2020.

Seanad: Credit Union Restructuring Board (Dissolution) Bill 2019: Second Stage (24 Nov 2020)

Martin Conway: I, too, welcome the Minister of State to the House. This legislation is a culmination of a lot of work that was done to restructure, tidy up and ensure there was proper and appropriate governance of moneys within the credit union movement. Today, it is appropriate to salute and acknowledge, as other colleagues have done, the founding pioneering people who developed the credit union model in...
