- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Joe Costello: I accept everything you say, but I would still ask you to bring my suggestion back to the board. I have one or two other brief points. What is going to happen to Temple Street and Crumlin hospitals now that they will not be satellite centres? I take it from the opening statement that the satellite centres will be Tallaght and Connolly hospitals.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts

- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Joe Costello: When you are procuring contracts, you want to know what you will be designing or building for. There could still be some specialist work going on at Temple Street or will those hospitals close down? Surely this is basic information for your board.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts

- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Joe Costello: Could I again get clarification on that? We have the two main providers of services at the present time: Temple Street and Crumlin, which apparently are going to go out of existence. We do not get any reference to it other than that other satellite centres will be developed. That has to inform your planning and development, so can we get a clear statement? Is that the way Temple Street...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Joe Costello: You are now operating in rent-free premises in Sir Patrick Dun's Hospital, but the old board did not. How did this decision come about? The old board paid for premises for the duration. I think it was a five-year period, was it not? Do we have figures on the expense incurred by the old board for the offices it rented? Why and how was the decision made to avoid any rental for the present...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Joe Costello: My last point arises from a remark by Deputy Fleming about ring-fencing funding for the hospital. Is Mr. Pollock aware that no funding, per se, was ring-fenced for the hospital prior to the present Government deciding that the proceeds of the sale of the national lottery - which I understand are in the region of €400 million - were to be ring-fenced? At least, part of it was to be...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (23 Oct 2014) Joe Costello: I understand there were a couple of elements to it. One element is philanthropic in that you have to raise a certain amount of money. I would like to know the amount of money that is expected to be raised. Second, can we confirm that the national lottery sale fund is now ring-fenced for it? Is Mr. Pollock satisfied that the funding is adequate from both those sources?

- Mortgage Arrears: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (5 Nov 2014)
Joe Costello: I am delighted to speak on this Private Members' motion and I commend the Technical Group on tabling it. It is important we debate an issue of such importance that deals with housing, mortgages and people's lives and families. This matter has been ongoing since the start of the recession. We know the background to what happened. During the Celtic tiger years, funding was thrown around...
