Róisín Shortall: I want to raise with Professor Butler the decision of NIAC on AstraZeneca. When the advice was given the understanding was we would continue to get Janssen supplies.. Given that there are issues with Janssen, although they may be resolved today, has NIAC considered revisiting the advice?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
Róisín Shortall: I want to go back to Professor Butler about the issues I raised earlier. Given the public interest in the availability of vaccines, with the momentum that is there now, how much of life and the economy is riding on the vaccine programme? Will she give an indication as to when they are likely to be able to give advice about the Janssen vaccine and also about stretching out the interval...

Róisín Shortall: 48. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the status of the recoupment of the €10 million overpayment of rent for the Miesian Plaza; the specific engagement that has taken place with the landlord; the details of the way in which that overpayment will be repaid; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Róisín Shortall: I want to raise again the building in the Miesian Plaza, Baggot Street, that houses three Departments. An error that was made by the Office of Public Works, OPW, in measuring that building has resulted in an overpayment of rent of approximately €344,000 per year, amounting to an estimated total overpayment of €10 million over the lifetime of the lease. What progress has been...

Róisín Shortall: I am afraid the Minister of State's response does not align with what has been reported in recent weeks on this ongoing matter. It is one thing for the OPW to regret the mistake it made but what the public wants is for it to recoup the public money that has gone to the overpayment and ensure it does not continue. When I raised this matter with the Minister of State six months ago, he told...

Róisín Shortall: Putting an advertisement in the newspaper does not sound like being serious about proper dialogue. We all know the constraints arising out of the Covid restrictions but they do not preclude a meeting from taking place with a small number of people in a large room. Can the Minister of State give an undertaking that this meeting will take place within the next month? That is reasonable. It...
