Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Children's Health Ireland
Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: If a clinician is managing the flow of treatment in a public list but has an ability to benefit financially by treating that person through an NTPF initiative, I regard that as a conflict of interest. While it may be difficult to avoid that conflict of interest, what steps has the NTPF taken to ensure that management, if you want to use that word, or mismanagement, of the public lists does...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Children's Health Ireland
Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: The concern lingers in the public, given all of the discussion, that in some way those people who are responsible for managing the flow of work through public clinics are organising that work in a way that other colleagues or they might benefit financially from it. What steps is the NTPF putting in place to make sure that does not happen? While I appreciate that Ms Brady has given me a...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Children's Health Ireland
Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: In some ways, we have discussed a lot of stuff. However, I appreciate the response. I return to Ms Hardiman's employment contract. It is unfortunate she is here as an individual and is also responding to what I think is a system-wide issue. If someone can accrue a contract of indefinite duration, which they have an employment right to do over two terms, it calls into question the sense...

Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: Does Ms Nugent have the same type of contract? Will we be facing the same scenario at the end of her ten-year period, should she last or - I apologise - should she serve that term? I apologise for misusing that word. I meant serve that term. I apologise to Ms Nugent.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Children's Health Ireland
Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: There is a system-wide issue for the Department with other public bodies. We are essentially having to resolve what should be a specific purpose contract, because a contract of indefinite duration, CID, is in place.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (10 Jul 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: This is an issue which the previous public accounts committee dealt with. It relates to Whitehall College, a building which has lain idle and unused for almost a decade. City of Dublin ETB has provided detailed correspondence with regard to the current position. Unfortunately, while the Department's reply is incredibly helpful in terms of the new project that will take place on the...

Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence: Statements (10 Jul 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: I also join others in calling out the scourge of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence in our society. It should be called out at all junctures - in WhatsApp groups, in sports clubs, in our local pubs and here in the Dáil. I acknowledge the work of the Minister's predecessor, Deputy McEntee, in terms of the legislation, which Deputy Connolly has previously referenced, and also the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Priorities of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage (8 Jul 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister for coming to the committee to update us. Deputies Hearne, Ellis and I met Dublin City Council to talk about the pipeline in our own constituency. I have to say there is a very strong pipeline of nearly 2,500 public homes all on public sites in our constituency. What was welcome to see on many of those was the mix of tenure. We have cost rental, social and affordable...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Priorities of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage (8 Jul 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: Given that they already have planning permission, some in bundles 3 and 4 - I think there were nearly 800 with full planning permission - given that they are all on local authority sites and given that we have enabled them in the Housing for All plan and have passed the Affordable Housing Act, we cannot really facilitate or accept any delay in delivering those. I know it is only a matter of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Priorities of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage (8 Jul 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: They have seen the designs and they want to participate in them. I will turn to a related conversation regarding ground floor units. In Ballymun, we have a large number of retail units that have yet to be used, which were built under the regeneration. Unfortunately, with regard to the design, the planners insist on ground floor spaces being animated by providing retail. The difficulty...
