Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Taxi Regulations (18 Oct 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister of State for being here. The last question dealt with stakeholder engagement and this topic touches on it too. I refer to the representative groups who represent taxi drivers. The Minister of State will have met many of them in his constituency, as have I, Deputy Troy and many others, in regard to many issues. One issue that has seemed to come to the fore, mostly...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Taxi Regulations (18 Oct 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister of State. I welcome his clarification that the anomaly exists that those cars under section 31(2) will be older and yet we will be asking newer cars to come off the road. It is an anomaly.

Situation in the Middle East and the Occupied Palestinian Territories: Statements (18 Oct 2023)

Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: Yes, that would be very useful. There are many issues around the word "compliance". I will raise a different type of compliance.

I want to explore how that occurred. Will Mr. Gunning clarify the figures...

Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: Given all the legal and governance advice available to the NPHDB, why did the hospital board which deals with construction contracts not explore the possibility that the RCT system should have been retained? Mr. Gunning spoke of 2018, whereas the date I have is 2019. Why did the board not sit down with the Revenue Commissioners to discuss this until that date?
