Chapter 3 - Vote Accounting and Budget Management
Chapter 4 - Reallocation of Voted Funding (20 Oct 2022) Paul McAuliffe: This may stray into housing policy and Mr. Moloney may not wish to comment, but has the Department examined the use of the HAP scheme? An issue that has come up many times at the committee is that the people who are procuring one of the largest amounts of spending, namely, HAP, are some of the most vulnerable people in Ireland. They are the procurement manager for their own rents, yet the...

Chapter 4 - Reallocation of Voted Funding (20 Oct 2022) Paul McAuliffe: I thank Mr. Moloney.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Oct 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: I agree with Deputy Colm Burke on workforce planning. Under the Department's approach to section 56 and section 39 organisations, the national pay agreement does not automatically apply to staff in that sector. In the longer term, this poses challenges to recruitment and retention in those areas. Deputy Burke made a valid point that, beyond apprenticeships and such, it is about the broader...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Oct 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: It is fascinating to follow this discussion. This committee is starting to look at what beyond quotas will look like. The question of what happens when 50% or 50 plus one is reached needs to be considered. We are still a long way off that in many places but it is about that idea of sustainability. I was at the unveiling of a portrait of Kathleen Clarke, the first woman Lord Mayor of...

Paul McAuliffe: I agree on the data and that should be a given. It is something we should take up directly. How do we prescribe the outcome while at the same time not getting into the nitty gritty?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Oct 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: In Ms Duffy's experience, do those red flags go up? Do those red lights go on?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Oct 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: Of course, but in general, in Ms Duffy's experience, does it happen?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Oct 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: The collection of data itself is the driver without having specific prescriptions in place.

Paul McAuliffe: I think the Chair would agree that is also the experience of the Seanad. Now that we have more women in the Chamber, it has broadened the discussion. It has also happened at local authority level.

Paul McAuliffe: The point on tokenism is really important too. It is something that we really struggle with in politics. Even with a quota system, we still have to challenge that. I imagine it is also why the witnesses did not bring a man with them today to provide a bit of gender balance on the panel.
