- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Business of Joint Committee (23 Jan 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: We should note the exceptional nature of this committee dealing with correspondence with a whole array of different stakeholders, including the Department, in public session. Through complex legislation, this committee has always managed to deal with its correspondence in private. Our decision to speak in public about this matter indicates the strength of the feeling of committee members...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: Will I take my full seven minutes at this point? I apologise to Mr. Coleman and his colleagues. I had business in the House so I am only getting the opportunity to come in here now, although I was monitoring some of the debate. The breadth of this discussion can be divided into two pools. There are people on this committee who never believed the LDA should have the powers it has, did not...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency (23 Jan 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: It is a greenfield site. Every time I walk through Ballymun, I see a large site that could deliver public housing. At this moment, though, there is no plan to do anything with it. The market is not coming forward with a plan either. This is exactly what the LDA should be doing. Will Mr. Coleman give me a commitment to consider that site with DCC and then revert to me with an outline of a...

Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) Paul McAuliffe: I thank all the witnesses for their attendance. Like everyone else, I have a question or two about my own constituency which I will tuck in at the end but I will start at the beginning of the conversation. I have a graph before me of the votable spend for Vote 38 for 2019 through to 2022. It does not have specific labels on each bar but the trajectory of increase in health funding is very...

Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) Paul McAuliffe: Essentially, there are people in this room who voted for Vote 38 and there are people who did not. It is very difficult for those who voted for the budget and see a €6 billion increase in the health funding to listen to other people in the room talking about cutbacks. Yet, the narrative of cutbacks is out there. There are people out there talking about health cuts. People believe...

Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) Paul McAuliffe: Let me talk then about the issue of the recruitment embargo because there has been a lot of discussion about that and reference to there being no recruitment, people not being appointed and so on. I am not even using the term "recruitment embargo" but my understanding is that there were funded posts and unfunded posts.

Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) Paul McAuliffe: Let me turn then to the idea of unfunded posts. Can Mr. Gloster talk to me about what they are and what that term means? I have heard the Minister use the phrase that it would be like a principal hiring teachers for a ratio for which he does not have approval. Will Mr. Gloster explain that?

How much of the unfunded post was in some ways about forward-planning the recruitment problem?
