Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Colm Burke: But it was October 2022 when that was supplied to the Department. It has been 12 months since then and there has still been no decision. That was October 2022. There are flood relief projects that need to be dealt with in a timely manner. Mr. Moloney said it already-----

2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Colm Burke: Mr. Moloney has to accept that there was a major mess-up in this project by his Department regarding the time delay as well as the fact that there are now businesses that cannot borrow money, let premises, develop premises or sell premises. This has now been going on for 13 years, while the Department sat on the vine. This is the real world we are now dealing with.

2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Colm Burke: I ask for a process to be put in place to deal with this issue, not just for this project but for other flood relief projects. This is a matter of saving money for the State. We are now deciding - and rightly so - to give support to households and businesses that have suffered flood damage. This is going to continue and therefore this must now be a priority within the Department regarding...

Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Colm Burke: Is it now time to do a full comprehensive review to see how this can be done? Rather than saying what the Department is going to do, they should set out a clear plan of action in relation to all the flood relief projects that are currently with the OPW. How can we expedite them? How can we deliver? How can we make decisions so that real efficiency is displayed and so the people’s...

2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Colm Burke: If the Department feels it cannot make decisions because of the restrictions of existing legislation, is it not time for the Department to come to the Minister and tell him that they need particular legislation to be amended to allow them to deal with these issues? We have used the planning Acts. For instance, we used different areas of legislation during Covid-19 because it was an...

Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Colm Burke: There was. There was a judicial review. The OPW set out its plan back in 2021. There was a judicial review. It is my understanding that the OPW withdrew the application on the basis that they conceded the judicial review issue. Then, it was referred back to the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform regarding how it would be managed from then on....
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Nov 2023)
Colm Burke: The issue is why it was not offered to us. Why did we have to go to the stage we had to go to before it was eventually given to us?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Awareness, Prevention and Services for the Treatment of Sepsis: Discussion (15 Nov 2023)
Colm Burke: I thank the witnesses for the work they are doing in this area. One issue that arises is the changeover of junior doctors in our hospital system. Are the witnesses satisfied that we have comprehensive programme for dealing with that changeover, which tends to happen in January and June or July? Are they satisfied that we have enough processes in place to make sure the new doctors who are...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Awareness, Prevention and Services for the Treatment of Sepsis: Discussion (15 Nov 2023)
Colm Burke: Am I correct in saying there were something like 13,000 cases of people admitted to hospital with sepsis in 2021? I know there may have been other complications but I have seen that about 2,700 people died in 2021 in hospitals who had sepsis. I am not saying that sepsis was the sole cause of death but it was a contributory factor. Am I right in respect of those figures?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Awareness, Prevention and Services for the Treatment of Sepsis: Discussion (15 Nov 2023)
Colm Burke: Everyone tends to focus on consultants and junior doctors. If you go into a hospital, the same nursing staff will be there ten years later, so there is that continuity. What programme is in place for nurses on an ongoing basis to make sure they are able to get up-to-date information, including about the new challenges that arise in respect of dealing with something like this?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Awareness, Prevention and Services for the Treatment of Sepsis: Discussion (15 Nov 2023)
Colm Burke: One of the other challenges we face in the health service, particularly at weekends, is one I referenced at the start of the meeting. A young boy of eight who died recently was admitted to hospital but, unfortunately, the degree to which he had sepsis meant there was little the hospital could have done. I understand that he immediately went on life support when he was admitted to hospital....

Colm Burke: Dr. O'Dwyer accepts there is a problem, particularly at weekends, getting access to GPs. Three to four crucial hours may be missed.
