Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I will be brief because I will have a final word again next week and I do not want to repeat myself too much. What motivated me and drove me towards this approach is that there are larger problems we will face as a society and as a species that cannot be solved in a five-year time horizon. Dr. O’Mahony said to me a number of years ago that we might all disagree and be at each...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (3 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Waterford is unique among the five cities in Ireland for not having a stand-alone university. Other cities have a university and a technological university. The reality is SETU, or WIT as it was, has had to play that role within the region. We made a promise to the people of Waterford, and the wider south east, that SETU will be a university of scale and of substance. We had a very...

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City
(3 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Before I go into questioning, it occurs to me that there is not an answer to this question that could be produced for the committee on the amount of money this governance issue is going to cost the taxpayer. We have it in black and white in terms of what it is costing us in impairments and so on, but I would love to know how much it cost to produce the special report for the C and AG. I...

(3 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I think it is €175,000 since January 2024, if I am correct, and if people are on the same pay scale as Dublin City University, DCU, which is what I was looking up. Therefore, the step-down has been to €175,000 per year. Can Professor Laffan describe to me her duties?

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City
(3 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I can tell Professor Laffan that if people from any of the technological universities are watching this debate, who are killing themselves to get professorial roles in place, which Deputy Verona Murphy will know well about in the context of South East Technological University, SETU, it will hugely stick in their craw. I accept what Professor Laffan is saying, but it is very difficult to...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick
Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City
(3 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I have reviewed both opening statements, and what I found difficult to accept was this idea that there was a level of benign incompetence that happened here and that we should accept that a bunch of bad decisions were made by people who were acting in good faith. There was a deliberately manufactured sense of haste in both of these cases. They were brought to the governing authority with the...

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City
(3 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: A recurring feature in Irish political life is that we get these things and then people sail away into the sunset and we do not actually see anyone held to account in any way, shape or form, which is very frustrating. I want to ask Dr. Wall about section 64. I know he is in a peculiar position because he is expecting this process to come to a conclusion relatively soon and therefore he...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Okay. We have a long way to go with it. In his opening statement, the Comptroller and Auditor General identified some issues regarding calculation of remuneration for senior staff.
