Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: All right. It has significant capital projects. For example, is it not engaged in a project on modular housing that is due to start shortly?

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Yes, it is quite shortly and I think the OPW was given that responsibility in May and it is now October. I understand the OPW may have rectified the absence of qualified engineers, chartered surveyors and so on, because this came up at this committee before. It obviously needs a measure of technical expertise to be able to manage projects and so on. However, that is in respect of the OPW...

Chapter 4 - Reallocation of Voted Funding (20 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Okay. I cannot ask Mr. Moloney a policy question, but would he have any desire to see a stronger oversight role in this regard? For example, is he satisfied that all the projects his Department is funding are being delivered efficiently and correctly?

Chapter 4 - Reallocation of Voted Funding (20 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Yes, I accept that. I am not suggesting that the Department should get into project delivery. What I am suggesting is that when the Department is testing how the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage is doing in respect of delivery, it should have somebody who can ask probing questions about the delivery of different projects. The spending of the Department of Housing, Local...

Chapter 4 - Reallocation of Voted Funding (20 Oct 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I appreciate that. The Department has visibility of where the money is going, but it does not sound like there is a conversation about whether that is enough spending, whether it is correct and whether it will deliver at the end of the year. If there is constant visibility, is spending of 30% under profile acceptable? Are other Departments under profile? Which Departments have spent above...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: -----because there was Covid-19 and all sorts of things were closed. Mr. Moloney said that himself. I am interested in this year. The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage is 30% below profile, while the Department of Education is ahead. Where is the Department of Transport?

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage is 30% under profile. That is a considerable gap and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform is not testing how it is spending. Officials are not sitting down with an engineer and asking what the projects are, which are behind and what is not getting delivered. At the end of the year, as happens at the end of every year in...
