Aidan Farrelly: Could we write to the regulator seeking clarity as to whether there was a capacity review and whether this is the project referred to on page 2 of the report, on which Pobal did a scoping exercise, and whether the committee can get the costs associated with that project?

Aidan Farrelly: I seek clarification on the extent of noncompliance. Were the projects fully delivered and were any issues raised relating to the contractors, particularly in regard to Version 1, which is on the list quite often? Can we seek clarification from the Department, first, on whether all these projects were fully delivered within budget and then whether there were any issues with the suppliers?

Aidan Farrelly: I did not flag that.

Aidan Farrelly: We had a couple of issues to raise relating the NTA.

Correspondence said there was an increased fleet capacity on some lines but fleet capacity has also reduced on others. We need to see how that correlates. That related to No....

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Aidan Farrelly: With regard to risk management and the potential lack of regard to that in this case, it seems the Arts Council sought assistance on numerous occasions. Is Mr. Ó Coigligh confident the Department provided adequate assistance to the Arts Council at different times?

I put in a series of parliamentary questions to the Department with regard to IT projects, and the rationale that was cited for not providing details on those was that due to an issue of national security or cybersecurity, the Department and the Minister would not provide the details of contractors...

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Aidan Farrelly: I thank Ms Kennelly again for her testimony this morning. I appreciate the briefing document. I found it very informative. What stuck out to me was the number of times she and the Arts Council sought assistance from the OGCIO. It seems assistance was granted in late 2019 or early 2020. What happened after that?

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Aidan Farrelly: Assistance had initially been offered and then there were no-shows at meetings. I have another question. I am struck by Ms McGrath's remarks in her opening statement about the competency requirements for such significant projects in areas that perhaps are not the natural expertise of the board. Mr. O'Sullivan mentioned that there have been project managers at different times. How many...
