- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (27 Nov 2018) Joan Burton: Did the OPW get a full set of accounts? I am following up on what the Chairman said. We know there are costs involved, but is there a kind of financial construct whereby the venues get some reinvestment back through the State from hosting these events? As I have mentioned, when these mega-events happen, by and large, those who live in the neighbourhood are unable to move out of their...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (27 Nov 2018) Joan Burton: I am aware that the OPW has a very good history in the context of providing apprenticeships. The Pope's visit coincided with a period when the gates needed to be painted. My question goes back to my point about small traders, cafés and food providers. The gates have gone to England. Am I correct in saying that?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (27 Nov 2018) Joan Burton: Where are they being refurbished?
- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (27 Nov 2018) Joan Burton: Given that a great deal of money will be spent on the gates, could there be some kind of programme in Ireland? There is a long history of foundry work in the Dublin area and in Northern Ireland. As has happened in the past with the OPW, could some kind of training programme be put together so that young people or individuals without employment could become involved in a project in a...

- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2018

- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (27 Nov 2018) Joan Burton: I acknowledge that. The OPW is a great place in which to learn.
- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (27 Nov 2018) Joan Burton: Is it likely that the work will be done in Ireland, North or South? There are not that many foundries. I come from a family of foundry workers and I know much about the trade. There are not that many foundry businesses, although there are some, particularly north of the Border. My general understanding is that much of this work will go abroad. Has the Office of Public Works given any...
- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2018

- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (27 Nov 2018) Joan Burton: Quite a number of Defence Forces personnel were allocated to work, effectively for free. What was the cost to the Army of the Defence Forces personnel working in this way? There are barracks in the area and other public representatives and I received many complaints about how badly Defence Forces personnel were treated. They were bivouacked in the trees around Farmleigh and the weather was...

- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (27 Nov 2018) Joan Burton: Alongside that, could we also find out the revenue generated by the park in respect of Bloom? Given that the OPW gives it as a contribution to Bord Bia, I think we need to know the parameters. Public parks are important for families and everybody else to enjoy and we need to keep investing in them. I would ask the same about the arrangement with MCD for the Ed Sheeran concerts. I am...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Schools Building Projects (28 Nov 2018)
Joan Burton: Has the Minister an estimate of the cost which will be borne by the Department even in the case of future legal proceedings? Does he propose to introduce a Supplementary Estimate to cover the cost of the works on the schools? We do not want a further disaster in terms of the existing building programme being further delayed due to the significant amount of remediation work involved. As the...
- Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (Gender Pay Gap Information) Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (28 Nov 2018)
Joan Burton: I thank everyone who has spoken this evening for their support for the Bill but especially for their commendation of our colleague, Senator Bacik, who brought this legislation forward in the Seanad. It is part of her very long record in advancing the cause of women and men in the Seanad. St. Augustine was an early father of the Church who was reputed to have said "Lord make me pure, but not...
- Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (Gender Pay Gap Information) Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (28 Nov 2018)
Joan Burton: ----- but his contribution was straight from the school of St. Augustine. He must have been looking at the books last night to put it together. I have had this treatment from Fine Gael in the past, both in government and in opposition. What is happening here is the legislative equivalent of putting something in the fridge and then the deep freezer so that it becomes so covered over in...
