Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (11 Nov 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I raise with him the issue of animal welfare. Yesterday, the DSPCA said we need to do far more on the issue of exporting puppies bred on puppy farms. Representatives of the North Dublin Cat Rescue have told me that we need to do far more to support voluntary organisations spaying feral cats. Will the Minister raise these matters with the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Marine, as I also...

Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Nov 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: Sometimes in this Chamber we face deep levels of frustration and I wonder whether we are making any progress on the issues before us. Today is not one of those days. While this is a very wide-ranging Bill that in many ways will help us meet some of our key climate action targets, I want to focus on the amendments relating to scrambler bikes. The term Teachta Dála, messenger of the...

Chapter 5 - Expenditure on Night Vision Imaging Technology and Training for Search and Rescue
Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank Mr. Spratt and all those attending today. I will start with the easy questions, including with regard to the metro. I am sure the witnesses are very familiar with the greater Dublin transport strategy in draft format that was presented this week. I have read it and been briefed on it by the National Transport Authority and I know the headlines that indicate the metro has been...

Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: My question was whether the business case that Mr. Spratt will put to the Government will be included in a timeline. This is because the NTA appears to have no timeline applied to the project. I do not know if that is because it is afraid to be bound by timelines that it project, or if there are no timelines at all. However, from transparency and public spending perspectives, surely...

Paul McAuliffe: The difficulty with that is that the NTA has consistently missed timelines in advance of the first gate. In 2018, there was the emerging preferred route. It was indicated in 2018 that the railway procurement order would be applied for in 2019. That did not happen. The question that many people are asking is why the NTA missed that key date of applying for the railway procurement order in...

Paul McAuliffe: Before we move on. Mr. Spratt says that the date he has now is the best. Honestly, after the NTA briefing, many public representatives are scratching their heads wondering if there are any dates. We have not been given any dates. The only date that has been given is that the project will go to a railway order in the early quarter of 2022. That is welcome. Other than that, we have no...

Paul McAuliffe: Was the 2018 delivery schedule inaccurate. The schedule that I just read out that was in the NTA announcement in 2018 was part of the national development plan. Was that inaccurate? Was it underfunded? Why have those dates been missed? This goes to the heart of confidence in this project. If we are missing deadlines now, when we have not even passed gate 1, there are real concerns. I...

Paul McAuliffe: I appreciate that Chair, but it is clear that answers also need to come from the NTA. I would ask that we revisit our request that the NTA come before the Committee of Public Accounts, because the Department of Transport is obviously operating this from a procurement side. We need the operational issues from the NTA and TII before us.
