Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I appreciate that.

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: That is fair enough. Mr. Masterson can send that information in a note to the committee. Does the money for fines go to TII, the Department or the private entity, the operator?

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Mr. Masterson might send on those numbers in a note. I noted that TII's legal fees have doubled since 2018. The figures I have are €1.7 million for 2019 and €2.5 million for 2020. What was the reason for the increase in legal costs?

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: That is for legal fees, is it?

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Consultancy fees have also increased. Is that for the same reason?

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: That illustrates Deputy McAuliffe's point about it being under way. I noted TII receives a quarterly report on road traffic collisions and fatalities. TII meets with the Road Safety Authority, RSA, and the Garda. How frequently does TII meet with the Garda and the RSA? In their documentation, our guests referred to high collision locations. How are they dealt with and how fast are they...

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Keeping with security, I notice that TII has provision for security on the Luas line. That is under its remit. I raised this with the NTA last week. We are aware of incidents on the Luas. While there is good security, they do not have powers of arrest or detention. The engagement that Mr. Walsh spoke about with the gardaí is important. I would argue that there is a need for a...

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I would ask TII to continue that dialogue. It is important that we see a change in policy there.

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: On national roads, is the N11-M11 upgrade being done through TII?

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Does Mr. Walsh the timeframe or a cost on that? I know there is a preferred route.

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Mr. Walsh might send a note on that, please. The second option is the route and upgrade of N11-M11 junction.

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Yes, I know that.

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Yes, I would like an update on its current status.

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: On the Luas, I noticed there were 34 trams purchased at a cost of €22 million, although I do not know in which year. I know there are further trams due. I think they have been ordered, if I am not mistaken.

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Is there sufficient capacity, then, for a return to pre-pandemic levels on the Luas system?

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: There are a number of issues in relation to the TII website. I ask the witnesses to look at that because there is some incorrect data on it. In the time remaining to me, with regard to the internal financial controls, I commend TII on alerting us to the issue with the contract for technical design services and non-procurement. I think the Comptroller and Auditor General referenced that...

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: It was not in Mr. Walsh’s time anyway.

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Mr. Walsh might come back to us with a note on those two issues.

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petitions on Unauthorised Developments: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: As a member of the Committee of Public Accounts, I am very familiar, as is the clerk and the other members of the Oireachtas staff, with Standing Order 218 and the implications that an Oireachtas committee, albeit a different one from this one, had for the nature and course of engagement of Oireachtas committees with witnesses. I am struck by two other aspects. One is the correspondence...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petitions on Unauthorised Developments: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: On a point of information, based on our discussion before Deputy Buckley came in with a more general question, the agenda for today is quite specific and relates to a particular site. We are all aware of which one it is. Plenty of county councils border the River Shannon and, presumably, have unauthorised development along it, but this is very specific. Before we proceed, I, along with...
