Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Estimates for Public Services 2016
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (Supplementary)
Vote 22 - Courts Service (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2016)

Alan Farrell: Okay. I will not ask any further questions on that. I expected that but just wanted to check. I am always critical of underspending by Departments and I do not think I should be any less critical of the Department of Justice and Equality. Normally, I reserve it for the Department of Education and Skills, which is overspending this year. My query relates to the capital building programme....

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (Supplementary)
Vote 22 - Courts Service (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2016)

Alan Farrell: I have a supplementary question which I forgot to ask. It relates to individual cameras for gardaí on the beat. Can the Minister outline or determine whether there is a sufficient allocation within the budget to investigate the use of cameras? It was done previously, but does the Department wish to pursue it further with the Garda Commissioner? Has a formal or an informal report been...

Personal Explanation by Member (7 Dec 2016)

Alan Farrell: The Ceann Comhairle has not heard what I have to say.

Personal Explanation by Member (7 Dec 2016)

Alan Farrell: I thank the Ceann Comhairle. It is entirely appropriate, given the fact that Deputy Adams has been afforded the opportunity to explain to the House his involvement and-or discussions with individuals relating to this case, that the two other individuals who are Members of this House who he himself has named-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation (12 Jan 2017)

Alan Farrell: If Deputy Cullinane is going to take that approach, I would like to mimic it. I suggested that the sets of questions that have been asked be answered and that Cullinane come in afterwards.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation (12 Jan 2017)

Alan Farrell: I thank our guests for attending. I appreciate that Mr. McNicholas efficiently covered the question of the €100 million savings benchmark. Some of my questions relate specifically to the contractual position that has been reported in the media on metering, which I am not entirely sure is the case. Perhaps Mr. McNicholas can clarify that. Irish Water entered into a contractual...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation (12 Jan 2017)

Alan Farrell: Okay. Some 884,000 meters have been installed so, give or take, 116,000 meters have yet to be installed. I understand that the total cost of installation is €465 million, which, I appreciate, based on a wholly inappropriate average, works out at €526 per meter. The installation of the remaining 332,000 meters would - on the basis that meters cannot be installed in 20% of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation (12 Jan 2017)

Alan Farrell: Of the 330,000 plus remaining households that can have meters installed, would it be fair to say that these are properties in which it is slightly more difficult to install meters?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation (12 Jan 2017)

Alan Farrell: Based on experience and knowledge of metering gained over the past two and a half years, the potential cost of on-demand metering to Irish Water would be in excess of the current average cost per unit.
