Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service: Motion [Private Members] (1 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: CAMHS and other mental health services in this State are so woefully underfunded that what happened in south Kerry should come as a shock to no-one. We spend 6% of our health budget on mental health. That is half the level recommended by the WHO. This needs to be increased as a matter of urgency. There are currently more than 3,000 young people awaiting appointments in a CAMHS psychiatry...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: I will raise the shocking announcement of 77 job losses at Hilton Foods in Drogheda last Friday. This news is bad at any time, but is especially so coming so soon after Christmas. It has been a devastating blow to those 77 workers and their families. I have appealed to the Tánaiste to engage with the company to explore all avenues as a means to protect those jobs. I ask the Taoiseach...

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: I will follow on with some questions around the PPPs and particularly the risk profile. Mr. Walsh advised that the risk related to toll income or road volume as well as construction costs that had been removed from the State and placed within those companies. What are the total potential unforeseen costs or losses of income that ended up being borne by these PPPs rather than by the State...

Imelda Munster: Perhaps we can get in totality the total potential unforeseen costs or losses of income. Mr. Walsh said that the risk associated was placed on these companies and removed from the State. Can we find out the loss of income that ended up being borne by the PPPs?

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: Inasmuch as it can, will TII give us the losses that the PPPs ended up paying for?

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: I would also like a breakdown of that, in as transparent a way as is possible. Can TII tell us the total income derived from these projects by the private partners?

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: Yes.

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: I ask TII to forward it on to us. This committee is interested in ascertaining the actual savings to the State and the costs that were incurred to these PPPs. I understand the version of TII's accounts that was laid before the Oireachtas differs from that on TII's website. It relates to salaries in particular. The CEO salary on the website version is different from that certified by the...

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: Okay, I thank Ms Keogh for that. On the former CEO's salary, it was €183,000 in 2019. The payment of €165,000 in the accounts initially laid would imply that when he left in September he had, I am assuming, nearly six weeks worth of holidays accrued. Is that correct?

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: How many weeks was that holiday payment for?

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: Will Ms Keogh explain again, please? The difference between the two accounts is an additional €29,000.

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: Is it six weeks holidays? He left in September 2020, which was nine months after the start of the pandemic. Did Mr. Nolan carry forward his entire holiday complement from 2019?

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: Okay. Will Ms Keogh forward us that detail so we can figure out the difference ourselves?

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: There was another thing. I know that Mr. Nolan began on a salary on €166,000 and it increased to €183,000 over the seven years. In September 2020, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform recommended that the role should command a salary of €190,000. How was that review instigated? Was it unsolicited from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform or did...

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: I believe it was €166,000.

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: That jump to €190,000 was the result of the 2% pay rise.

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: Can I ask in general about the regional road payment. TII had said earlier, in a response to my colleague about the national roads projects, that TII sits down with the Minister and says what it wants included in the national development plan and that TII might have made recommendations for particular things but they were not necessarily included. On regional payments then, has TII...

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: TII is just a payment agent then.

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Imelda Munster: I would like some clarification around the salary of the former CEO. Is it correct that Mr. Nolan retired in July and that his contract was extended until September?
