Gaza: Statements (21 May 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: A few weeks ago, I raised the issue of Gaza here on the occasion of statements in respect of the European Council. I noted that we needed a united European voice in response to the conflict. Unfortunately, across the Continent we have not seen that united voice. I certainly welcome yesterday's news regarding the review of the trade deal but, sadly, since then the situation in Gaza has not...

Assessment of Need: Statements (20 May 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister for her statement. As Fianna Fáil spokesperson on disability, I attended a fairly powerful workshop held by the Independent Living Movement Ireland and the Dublin City Council public participation network.

Paul McAuliffe: I want to raise the issue of the proliferation of gaming arcades, a phenomenal number of which have opened in recent months. From her time in the Department of Justice, the Minister will know that the establishment of the Gambling Regulatory Authority was an important step forward in terms of supporting people with gambling addictions. I want to see the authority take further steps in...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 May 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: For the benefit of other members, normally when Mr. McCarthy presents the accounts we might tease out issues he has drawn to our attention, we might seek clarification from the relevant body in advance and we might make a recommendation about whether we want to invite it to appear before the committee. On that basis, there are three issues I would like to tease out. Did Mr. McCarthy say...

Paul McAuliffe: In UCD, was it specific to a project or was it part of a wider issue of non-compliant procurement?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 May 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: I agree that writing to UCD to seek clarification would be useful. The second issue relates to the Technological University Dublin, TUD, at Grangegorman. I do not recall whether it was at this committee or in public commentary in the media that issues were raised about the amount of debt published in its accounts in any one year. Is the Comptroller and Auditor General satisfied that...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 May 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: The stuff that sits with the Grangegorman Development Agency is separate from TUD, although they are on the same campus. They present two different sets of accounts. Is that correct?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 May 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: The last issue is in regard to the €6.5 million in the non-interest-accruing account. I suggest that we write to seek an explanation. It may have been that the ETB predicted funds would need to be released sooner, but we should get some details from it.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 May 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: I support the suggestion to write to the pre-hospital emergency board. I ask that we get details of the number of people impacted and, on an anonymised basis, of the liability, so that we can get an idea of the scale of the impact. The total turnover is €4 million and €800,000 is 20% of that. It is a very significant amount of money and we need to get to the bottom of it. ...
