Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Brian Stanley: Okay. As regards the costs Mr. McCarthy outlined earlier, it was over €70 per head for private providers and over €30 for something else. Can McCarthy give us those figures again?

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Brian Stanley: I understand that the Department could not magic-up new buildings or acquire new buildings or whatever and have State-run facilities staffed and up and running in a matter of weeks or even months, but there is a substantial differential. I am looking at the briefing notes that the Department provided. If one looks at the costs for international protection, the figure for 2022 was...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Brian Stanley: Of course, €1.49 billion. Okay. There is a White Paper. There was discussion around this and there were recommendations. A commission was put in place. Where is that at in terms of moving to try to acquire? Presumably, these facilities will have to be bought because if we are waiting to build them, it could take five, six or seven years to get them in place, given the current...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Brian Stanley: There is a huge problem I wish to address.

The Montague Hotel, which is located on the old Dublin to Limerick and...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Brian Stanley: We are looking at nearly €2.2 billion in total. That is a large amount of money. The Exchequer figures are good at the moment, but if there was a dip in the economy - we have seen a dip in some revenue streams in the first quarter of this year, for example, corporation tax, and they may or may not recover - or it tilted in the wrong direction, trying to fund this €2.2 billion...

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Brian Stanley: There is another area of concern. We want to help genuine applicants, and I understand that takes time. We have been told this morning of it taking 16 months, with an average time of 14 months. That is certainly different information than we have seen in answers to questions in other forums. The impression given to the public is that it only takes a number of weeks. I understand there is...
