Financial Resolutions 2021 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (14 Oct 2021)

Cormac Devlin: I welcome the opportunity to discuss budget 2022. The underlying macroeconomic forecast for next year is positive and the outlook strong. The State expects to take in approximately €94 billion in revenue, which has given the Ministers for Finance, and Public Expenditure and Reform scope to invest an extra €4.7 billion in public services. The Government proposes to focus this...

We need reassurance that the NBP is going to address those blackspots. Many consumers have contacted all Deputies, in particular in urban...

Cormac Devlin: I know it is extensive. It would be good if Mr. Mulligan could organise a deputation for Dublin Deputies on those issues, but that can be for another day. I will turn to the NCSC and staffing. A total of 20 new posts were announced in July, following the cyberattack on the HSE in March. That would bring the total number of staff from 25 to 45. What progress has been made on their...

Chapter 9 - Remediation of Landfill Sites (14 Oct 2021)

Cormac Devlin: The only change was around salary and conditions. Is that not too long a timeframe given the sensitivity and urgency of this position? I accept that is the role of the Public Appointments Service and not Mr. Griffin.

Cormac Devlin: On the process, the position was advertised earlier this year, there was a further discussion around the post which ended in mid-July and it took until mid-September to re-advertise effectively the same post. This is not good enough given the sensitivity and scale of the attack on what is arguably our most important Department and potentially others.
