Public Accounts Committee: Oversight and Implementation of Capital Projects and the Role of Public Officials on State Boards: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Office of Government Procurement (7 Mar 2019)

David Cullinane: It is not unusual, but it is not unique. It is actually very unusual to use it.

Public Accounts Committee: Oversight and Implementation of Capital Projects and the Role of Public Officials on State Boards: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Office of Government Procurement (7 Mar 2019)

David Cullinane: All of the other ten projects we have discussed have not come in above cost. My point is, as a consequence of using not a unique but a very unusual process, that, lo and behold, it resulted in an overspend of €400 million.

David Cullinane: Perhaps that was not the right thing to do.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (12 Mar 2019)

David Cullinane: Since the Brexit referendum result became clear almost three years ago, Sinn Féin has been crystal clear in stating that the approach from the Government and the European Union has to be guided and underpinned by the very obvious fact that people in the North voted to stay in the European Union. That vote has to be recognised and, in our view, respected. My party's approach to Brexit...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (12 Mar 2019)

David Cullinane: The Tánaiste quite rightly described the joint instrument as a legal instrument which has a legal effect and impact. People outside this Chamber want to know that the legal meaning of the backstop agreed last December and since, on which the Dáil voted and under which the North cannot be unilaterally taken out of the customs union and Single Market unless and until something of...

Tributes on Retirement of Member of Staff (12 Mar 2019)

David Cullinane: I have not had the same level of engagement that party leaders would have had with Patricia but I recognise, and we in this House all know, that she has been a very professional and committed public servant for a long number of years. The Ceann Comhairle and others have outlined the different roles that she has held in the Oireachtas. She has been a very honourable and decent public...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Mar 2019)

David Cullinane: It has been reported that the Minister for Finance met officials from KBC Bank Ireland in January to reassure them of his and the Government's support in the wake of the forced eviction of a Roscommon family last year and the controversy that followed. A document released by thejournal.iesuggests that the Minister would "fully accept that repossessions are part of the normal financial...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Mar 2019)

David Cullinane: Last night the Westminster Parliament again overwhelmingly rejected the withdrawal agreement agreed between the British Government and the European Union in November. That same withdrawal agreement was adopted and supported by this House. It is regrettable that it was rejected for a second time, but not surprising given the chaos in Westminster and in the British political system. What...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Mar 2019)

David Cullinane: I thank the Tánaiste. He might answer the questions on precisely what the European Commission and the European Union are considering in regard to state aid rules. We have been hearing about this for months and yet we have not seen any practical proposals. For many businesses and farmers the crisis is here and now. I also asked the Tánaiste if the Government would consider a...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (13 Mar 2019)

David Cullinane: Earlier, I asked whether the Government is considering establishing a Brexit stabilisation fund and I want to ask the question again. It is important that we use all available resources of the State to ensure we protect the Irish economy and ensure businesses, exporters and farmers are protected. We have called for a €2 billion Brexit stabilisation fund and we state it should come...

Recent Developments on Brexit: Statements (13 Mar 2019)

David Cullinane: Since the Brexit referendum result became clear almost three years ago, Sinn Féin's position has been crystal clear. The Government and European Union had to be guided and underpinned by the very obvious fact that people in the North voted to stay in the European Union. It is very difficult to have an honest conversation about the North with some parties in this House - Fine Gael...
