- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: It seems like common sense.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: Yes, but at the moment the board is saying that with the baseline programme, there is an absence of a commitment by BAM to even do that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: I hope this does not happen, but is there a situation where this just goes on and on and the hospital is never finished at the level of final details. While there is intransigence from BAM, could this go on and on until the Government says that if BAM is not going to complete the job it will have to get somebody else in? That would delay the project for years, I assume.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: On the claims that are in litigation, there is a concentration of claims. I think 18 was the figure given. What is the dispute between BAM and the State? What is at the heart of that dispute?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: That is fair enough.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: How common would it be in big civic projects such as this to go into that amount of litigation and dispute?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: I know.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: Based on Mr. Gunning's experience, why is that? He has obviously-----

Gino Kenny: What is the ER?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: That is a fraction.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: Have any of the disputes via the court been resolved?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: Do they all have to be resolved before BAM will hand over this project to the State?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sports Facilities (25 Sep 2024)
David Stanton: I thank the Minister of State for his response. He has seen my frustration. This is exactly the same response I got last July when I submitted a parliamentary question on the matter. There has been no change. In fact, the reply is an awful lot shorter. It is almost an insult. The final sentence reads: "These lands are designed to retain overflow flood waters during periods of heavy...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sports Facilities (25 Sep 2024)
Alan Dillon: I again thank the Deputy for raising the matter. I will refrain from reading the scripted closing statement. I agree with some of the points the Deputy made. He has a very strong argument in respect of the issue at hand. I will go back to the Minister and her officials on it. We need proper usage of State land when it comes to the provision of services. As already stated, we are...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Flood Risk Management (25 Sep 2024)
Catherine Connolly: I am not sure if Deputy Buckley's colleague is going to turn up.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Flood Risk Management (25 Sep 2024)
Pat Buckley: He probably will turn up. I thank the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, for attending. We are here again to raise issues relating to flooding in Midleton in east Cork. I acknowledge the work that has been done on the rivers and so on and so forth in the Moore's Bridge area. The engagements we have had with some of the Departments and Cork County Council have been exemplary, but I have...

Kieran O'Donnell: Is the Deputy talking about IPP?
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Flood Risk Management (25 Sep 2024)
Pat Buckley: Yes. Lets be realists about how the long term flood mitigation plan is long term, but I wanted to flag that with the Minister of State because many people are worried they will not have enough money to even pay for those prevention measures. Gleann Fia is slightly different because of the timber-frame structures there. There were suggestions to the effect that the adjacent land be used,...
