Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jun 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: Representatives of Home Building Finance Ireland were before the committee previously and there were issues over delivery and access to funding from parties that perhaps were not the primary reason the body was established. I wonder whether the issues have been addressed or whether it would be worth asking the representatives to appear before the committee again.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jun 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: I only flagged this because of the proximity of the meeting with the Peter McVerry Trust. It relates to a contractor who has not been paid. There may be valid reasons for that or there may not. I ask that we make that the Peter McVerry Trust be made aware of it in advance of its representatives attending so that they can answer questions on it if it raised.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jun 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: I was particularly concerned about the RTÉ programme because one of the nursing homes, Beneavin Manor, is in my constituency. I live five minutes' walk from that home. It is part of a campus comprising three nursing homes that are operated separately by Emeis. I took many calls this week from people who are genuinely concerned about the welfare of their relatives in the home. They...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Reports (17 Jun 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: I know that, as a Cork man, the Taoiseach will join me in saying how great Dublin city is, but as great as it is, we certainly have challenges, especially in the city centre. The task force report was an important way of identifying those challenges. The challenge now will be delivering them. Within the Dublin City Council structure, there certainly seems to be the appetite to establish...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Childcare Services (17 Jun 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: While the pay and conditions of staff are incredibly important, the physical buildings in which they operate are also important. While I particularly welcome the building blocks programme which was an important initiative, the Minister and I know the limitations of that. We could do with a few more bob from the Department of public expenditure - if it was giving it to the Minister - but...
