Chapter 5 - Expenditure on Night Vision Imaging Technology and Training for Search and Rescue
Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Imelda Munster: Mr. Spratt said there is a prioritisation process. Housing is deemed one of the three strategic priorities. This project would allow for the provision of more than 7,000 houses. They would accommodate a population of 20,000 in the north Drogheda area, which would be almost a second town, and some of those houses have already been built. Mr. Spratt can imagine the gridlock in Drogheda...

Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Imelda Munster: I am not sure if it was Mr. Mullaney the council liaised with. If it was, did he advise it of that possible strand of funding?

Chapter 5 - Expenditure on Night Vision Imaging Technology and Training for Search and Rescue
Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Imelda Munster: Okay. The situation is very frustrating. This road has been needed for 15 years. The need for it is crystal clear. The housing issue is a strategic objective to try to solve but the utter gridlock in Drogheda stops businesses setting up and it puts people off coming into town. The gridlock is a nightmare and has been for years. In what timeframe does the Department envisage the project...

Chapter 5 - Expenditure on Night Vision Imaging Technology and Training for Search and Rescue
Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Imelda Munster: Okay. Aside from that, there is an additional option if this is going take years to deliver, and Mr. Mullaney has not given me much hope to the contrary, but it must be pursued and delivered. The county manager ruled out a loan from the European Investment Bank to fund the project. She had suggested making use of the Connecting Europe Facility. Would the Department support and walk with...

Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Imelda Munster: I thank the Chair. I have three hopefully very short questions. On the strategic grant scheme, I do not think I got an answer on whether there is a maximum grant under that scheme and if so, what is the maximum grant paid? On the half-price public transport, I do not know if this was discussed before I came in but where is that at at the moment? Can the Department officials confirm...

Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Imelda Munster: Mr. Spratt's colleague, Mr. Mullaney, said that Louth County Council had been told that a scheme was available and it could apply. Given the cost of the infrastructure involved, what is the maximum grant? The council does not want to go down a road that will have bad news at the end of it. Is it realistic for the council to apply under that scheme, as Mr Mullaney said? Will it qualify...

Imelda Munster: We are all aware of the enormous pressures on our health service. Covid laid bare the enormous deficits.

Staff are reporting that morale is at an all-time low. Staff are completely burnt out. Paramedics often...

Dr. Quinn said earlier that the Department was reviewing the restart grant schemes weekly. Was it specifically the restart grant schemes or was it the Covid Brexit loans that were being reviewed weekly?

Chapter 6 - Covid-19 Restart Grant Schemes (18 Nov 2021) Imelda Munster: The Department service level agreement said the review for that scheme was to take place when grant approvals reached €200 million. When it was adjusted, in August I think it was, the Department said there was no need for that review at the time. The reform scheme was meant to trigger a review upon payment of €250 million but, despite €633 million being paid, the review...

Chapter 6 - Covid-19 Restart Grant Schemes (18 Nov 2021) Imelda Munster: Dr. Quinn is saying that it would have required more staff so that it would have been more thorough. The weekly reviews did not require more staff, so they were not as thorough as the review requirements in the Department's service-level agreement.

Those reviews were worth nothing because they were not thorough. If they had been thorough, the Department would have had to acquire more staff, despite that its own service-level agreement referred to action at the €200 million level and to when payments reached €250 million,...
