Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Brian Stanley: I thank Mr. Bourke. One of the other projects mentioned in the report is the Morrison's Island project in Cork city and I know the delay in that regard is beyond the OPW's control. My understanding is that there are legal proceedings in train, on which I know the witnesses cannot comment. Will this matter be dealt with in the courts shortly? What stage are we at with this? That is one...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Brian Stanley: We will look for a written reply specifically on that for Deputy Burke. I will ask this briefly because Deputy MacSharry has a question. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked a question near the end of her contribution earlier about the final arbitration cost for Kevin Street Garda station. Will the OPW supply that to her in writing, please?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Brian Stanley: I will ask about decentralisation. One of the questions we submitted on the list for today was on the number of premises in Portlaoise the OPW has leased to Departments. What is the number of overall premises owned and leased?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Brian Stanley: Very well. The other question I wish to ask is on the vacant site that was bought for the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine on the Mountrath Road. How much was paid for it and what will happen to it now? There are pylons and a power line has now gone across the middle of that site. How much did that site cost? It has been lying idle now for a good few years.

Every one of us has experienced dealing with his staff and know that they went over and above the call of duty. Of course, there were problems but the scale of the challenge was huge and the response was excellent. We are now joined by...

The number of jobs created at that point was 20,000. It has already been outlined how if we divide the 20,000 jobs created into the overall sums, we get a figure somewhere north of 11,000. In...
