- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2024)
Paschal Donohoe: It is worth making the point that in terms of the total value of claims that have been adjudicated in this period, the net change in the value of the contract is a small amount of the total claims that have been made by the contractor.

Alan Kelly: I referred to the independent adjudicator.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2024)
Paschal Donohoe: Standing or independent; it is the same point. It is not really a question for the board as to whether it has confidence in that independent adjudicator. Indeed, it has challenged the decisions that were made by the adjudicator recently through the initiation of High Court proceedings. As I said in answer to questions earlier, I expect and support the board to take all the steps it needs...

Marian Harkin: Ballynacarrow is a village on the N17 in County Sligo that immediately needs traffic-calming measures, yet nothing is happening. In 2024, Sligo County Council allocated €264,000 to safety improvement works for the entire county. That is a great deal less than the cost of the bicycle shed out the front of this building. While there is no traffic calming in Ballynacarrow, Sligo County...
