The motion calls for a roadmap towards abolishing the carer’s allowance means test...

Kieran O'Donnell: Gleann Fia. Specific works are being carried out there at the moment in terms of hydrological tests. We want Cork County Council to be in a position to submit a minor works application to us shortly for funding for mitigation works in Mogeely. I hope this will happen.

Pat Buckley: That is no bother. I thank the Minister of State for his response and there is a lot of work in it. He has mentioned that he is meeting with Cork County Council again, and I welcome that. Reference has been made to the Owenacurra and Dungourney rivers, the Lidl bridge and the old Cork Road bridge. Deputy O'Connor and Deputy Stanton will be aware that years ago we used to dredge the slob,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)

Róisín Shortall: It is a fundamental principle of procurement that you have your design settled at the beginning. The aim has to be that you have the full detail as far as possible on the project nailed down beforehand because of the additional costs incurred with each change in design.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)

Róisín Shortall: The developer is claiming it is all those design changes that have run up this bill. The board, on the other hand, is claiming it is project delivery. There is now a stand-off between the two sides. That is not really of much use to any of us, especially the children that are waiting to get treatment in that hospital. The matter has to be resolved and it is very hard to understand why...
