Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (6 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I welcome Mr. Mulvany. I want to stay with the National Ambulance Service because it has formed the main part of our questioning today. My question may be most appropriately directed to Professor O'Donnell. In the Dublin metropolitan area, there is obviously cover from the National Ambulance Service as well as the Dublin Fire Brigade. However, there is an anomaly in CHO 6 or the...

Cormac Devlin: That works really well across the rest of Dublin, but there is an anomaly in the catchment area of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown where there is no additional cover. If a person suffers a stroke or is involved in a car accident or, God forbid, some other sort of incident anywhere else apart from the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown area, they have dual cover under the NAS and the Dublin Fire...

Cormac Devlin: That worries me more now that Mr. Morton said that the ambulance base in Loughlinstown will be relocated. That will leave the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown area with one service whereas the rest of Dublin enjoys two services. As I do not have enough time to delve into it today, I ask him to send on a note on the future plans for the NAS in the Dublin region, specifically the south-east area....

Cormac Devlin: Staying with that point, Mr. Mulvany mentioned ventilators. The figure of €42.5 million was provided for the procurement of ventilators, and according to the financial accounts of 2021, I understand €12.1 million of that amount was recovered. How is the recovery of that money proceeding?

Cormac Devlin: I have a little over a minute left and will have a rapid-fire question section. I refer to the annual report and appendix No. 4 starting on page 100. The second MRI machine for St. Vincent's is extremely welcome and it is good to see it included under the projects completed and operational by the end of 2021. I was struck by a completion delay until after 2021. The report refers to a...

Cormac Devlin: I saw that in one or two of them, but some of them were quite low. It is something to take note of. There was one where the attendance was ten. There was one with two. That was a resignation, I understand, after a short period on the board. There was another where the average was seven and the attendance was four. A number of them seem low.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I very much thank Mr. Fenlon and his colleagues for attending. The issue of the standing charge has come up quite a bit. I ask for a note to be sent to the committee on the calculation of that charge. I have received feedback, as have colleagues on the committee, regarding people who are extremely apprehensive about having no wriggle room in respect of that charge. It has increased over...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Is there an approximate figure? Electric Ireland has set aside a certain amount, so it must know, or even have a guesstimate, of how many customers it is looking at.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I have just a minute left. The difficulty during Covid was that people were still in receipt of money and, in the vast majority of cases, were still working. This is a cost-of-living crisis. People may be working but they do not have enough set aside to cover the cost of energy. That number may exceed what Electric Ireland earmarked for Covid. Mr. Fenlon made a point about individuals...
