Imelda Munster: It is very strong. Regarding electric window openers, the ceiling runs from the ground to the sixth floor. Subcontractors said windows with electric openers were left out in all sorts of weather for over a year. If a problem arose with the windows in the glass ceiling which need to be opened or closed, whereby they could not be shut, a normal hoist would not suffice and a massive...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)

Imelda Munster: I am talking about the electric windows and the openers. I am seeking clarification. In a functioning hospital, if there was a problem with the design of those windows, in particular with the openers on the electric windows on the glass roof of the building, a scaffold would need to be set up inside the hospital, reaching to the top of the sixth floor and the glass ceiling, and that could...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Television Licence Fee (30 May 2024)

Imelda Munster: As the Minister knows, the issue has been rumbling on for years. We have had plans and reports, including Government-commissioned reports, but it appears there has been no political will to make a decision. The Minister initially rejected the Future of Media Commission recommendation. She certainly was not decisive on it, but it seems the recent scandals in RTÉ changed her mind. We...

Imelda Munster: If that will be at the end of June and the summer recess is to begin on 11 July, what will be the timeframe for the introduction? I am a tad confused in that, while the Minister has said publicly she is in favour of direct Exchequer funding for RTÉ, the thinking of her political opponents is certainly not in line with hers, as I noted at the committee meeting we had yesterday. My...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tourism Industry (30 May 2024)

Imelda Munster: The Minister referred to the €10 million support scheme that is open. That is a mere drop in the ocean compared with what is actually needed. That is for the entire country. The Minister is aware that Drogheda has lost its largest hotel, the D Hotel, and that is the second hotel it has lost. I hope she is aware that the number of bedrooms available for tourist accommodation in the...

Imelda Munster: If accommodation in Drogheda has reduced by 61% and we are left with only 91 tourist accommodation beds, that is a problem caused directly by Government policy. We need the Government to revitalise the town, attract investment and solve the accommodation issue that is crippling tourism in the town. Love Drogheda BID had asked that the Government work with stakeholders in the town to fix...
