- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: Mr. Gunning has no fear that there may be concerns legally that this will delay the opening of the hospital. There is nothing with regard to these claims or legal actions that could possibly delay the completion date. Is that what Mr. Gunning is telling us?
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: We know there is a stand-off and there are claims disputed and all that. However, the fact that Mr. Gunning cannot give absolute clarity on it-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: Yes. By saying that, Mr. Gunning also cannot give absolute clarity on the completion date and opening date of the hospital and what the overall cost will be. Even years on, we still do not know when the hospital will be open, when the first patient will be treated and how much the hospital will cost. It that not ludicrous? This hospital will earn the title of the most expensive...

- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: This has been a complete and utter mess, and we are now looking at the National Maternity Hospital.

Would the board consider...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: I have to again raise the issue of the chaos caused by the Obelisk Bridge and the adverse affect it is having on traffic congestion in Drogheda. I have told the Taoiseach that I had liaised with Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, Louth County Council, the Minister for Transport and the Department, and they all passed the parcel. When I raised this matter with the Taoiseach several weeks...

In particular, I raised the issue of Louth local authority's scandalous waiting list for people who are seriously ill and who are waiting for wet rooms, stair lifts and so forth and that those waiting lists were carried year to year so people who were seriously ill had to wait years to get the basic...

Local authorities delivered 101 affordable purchase homes in the first half of this year and 22 affordable cost-rental homes were delivered by AHBs. The LDA did not deliver a single affordable home this year. The Government said it is committed to delivering 5,500 affordable homes this year. If we go by those figures, 123 homes were delivered...
