- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (31 Mar 2022) Paul McAuliffe: I was attending the meeting of the Joint Committee on Gender Equality in which we were discussing the issue of domestic violence. I could probably spend the entire ten minutes speaking on that issue. I will route the request to that committee, but perhaps there will be an opportunity for that committee to engage with the Garda Commissioner on that issue separately. However, I will come...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (31 Mar 2022) Paul McAuliffe: Given that there was a statute bar element to those, and I may have missed the answer to this already, how many prosecutions does Mr. Harris think might result from the 134 reports?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (31 Mar 2022) Paul McAuliffe: Of course, there will always be a discrepancy between reports and prosecutions with all numbers.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (31 Mar 2022) Paul McAuliffe: I accept that. Given the context of the discussion I have just come through about domestic violence and the difficulty and fear for a woman to lift the telephone in that situation, the idea that there is nobody at the other end to take that call is a concern. I take from Mr. Harris's contribution this morning that it is a matter he is taking with utmost importance. I ask him to continue...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (31 Mar 2022) Paul McAuliffe: It has been a major game changer for Members of the Oireachtas and members of the force, because the idea that in 2018 the best way of me contacting my local community garda was to telephone the station and my name would be entered in a book that would be observed by a member when he or she attended work, depending on what the member's shift was, was archaic. The project was much needed. I...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (31 Mar 2022) Paul McAuliffe: What level of spending will continue to be committed to the project for its full roll-out across the entire force?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (31 Mar 2022) Paul McAuliffe: The Comptroller and Auditor General put it very well. He used the figure of approximately 80% - I apologise if I am misquoting him - for personnel and staffing costs. The more ways we can get personnel to work better, the more value for money we can get from that 80%. Technology is something the Garda has been significantly lacking over time. It is a criticism but it is a necessary...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (31 Mar 2022) Paul McAuliffe: As an Oireachtas Member who votes for these budgets, I am one of those who wants to see more gardaí on the streets. We all want to see this. I am a great believer that technology is the way to leverage the resources we have. I encourage Mr. Harris to keep spending in this direction. People often quote the Commissioner back to him. When he was first appointed, he stated that crime...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (31 Mar 2022) Paul McAuliffe: I absolutely accept this, and I have seen the work done in the north-east inner city. There are other areas where the illegal drug industry has agency capture of communities. Ballymun and Finglas are two of those areas. The Commissioner has already considered the Ballymun - A Brighter Future report. The assistant commissioner for Dublin has met me to discuss it. I ask the Commissioner to...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Mar 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: I thank the witnesses for coming before us. I apologise as I had initially requested as part of our work programme that they would be asked before the committee but, unfortunately, I had two oral parliamentary questions selected to be put to the Taoiseach today. One does not fail to show up for the Taoiseach. I thank the witnesses for their contributions so far and I apologise for not...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Mar 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: It is a frustration on our side. The legislative and funding work has been done so now we expect to have the houses in six months; I appreciate that this is not possible. The Kildonan Road site is in Finglas and everybody is saying the social housing component will absolutely go ahead and there is no problem but there are still some questions on the affordable housing site. Again, there...

Paul McAuliffe: Is there an indicative figure for Dublin?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Mar 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: I want to come back to that issue of staffing because I certainly appreciated that indicative figure of 50. I am not nailing Mr. Taaffe to numbers - broad terms are all right. I welcome how he talked about gearing up the particular teams, particularly within Dublin City Council, which has a majority in my area. I would just like to clarify, whether 50 is the total overall number he...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Mar 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: Mr. Taaffe envisages the overall figure being greater than 50.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Mar 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: That is fine. That concept of mixed tenure is very crucial. I represent Ballymun and Finglas and we know building mono-tenure and mono-income, particularly low-income, is not the way forward. However, sometimes the complexity of the mixed tenure and mixed income provides a real challenge for local authorities to get their head around and get implementation. What I believe the AHBs are...

Paul McAuliffe: Is that a space AHBs want to be in?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Mar 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: Absolutely.
