- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)
Colm Burke: It is with the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform at this stage. That Department decides to make money available to the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science to create spaces. The big problem is that, if the colleges have already accepted applicants from overseas for the coming year, they are tied by that....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)
Colm Burke: There is full planning permission for it. The question is one of where the funding is to come from and how it can be fast-tracked. Obviously, if the go-ahead is given, tenders must be invited and that process, which would probably take six to eight months, got under way. However, if you build a new dental school, you can then look at expanding the numbers being taken in as well as...

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Colm Burke: I thank the witnesses for their presentation. Following up on uninsured vehicles, there were 16 of those. Surely vehicles have an indication they are insured on the windscreen. The other issue was about tax. How could there be so many? I could understand, though it should not happen, one or two, but this was 16, a substantial number. Surely there are checks and balances to make sure all...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Colm Burke: Is that not a complicated way of dealing with it. If a member of the IFI's staff needs a car at 6 p.m., how does it cover insurance?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Colm Burke: Say somebody suddenly requires a vehicle at 6 p.m., their existing vehicle is not functioning and they need to follow up something urgently. Is Ms Bradley saying they are not covered by insurance because IFI will not be able to get on to the insurance company there and then?

Colm Burke: If an emergency arose-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Colm Burke: Surely the policy needs to be looked at from the point of view of cover being there without having to necessarily identify the vehicle.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Colm Burke: And that was not the case before.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Colm Burke: Money was spent trying to make the insurance retrospective. My understanding is IFI engaged a firm of solicitors to deal with that and a cost was incurred. You cannot make insurance retrospective.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Colm Burke: IFI engaged a firm of solicitors.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
