- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2020 (16 Jun 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: I have done some very rudimentary calculations here. It could go as high as €100 million. This is a very significant risk to the overall cost of the project. It is not a small percentage we are talking about here.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2020 (16 Jun 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: I am familiar with it, yes. Turning to Mr. Tierney, the Minister, Deputy Michael McGrath published the inflation co-operation framework in early May to ensure the viability of projects. I think everybody would say the national children's hospital is beyond that point of viability. It is unlikely the contractor would walk away from the entire project at this time. The question is on how...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jun 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: If Mr. Dunne keeps making references from George Orwell to Dumbo, he will feature in Miriam Lord's column very soon. I thank the witnesses for being with us today. I have a few questions, the first of which is about how carers connect with supports that may or, in often cases, may not be available. From my experience, initial contact is through the public health nurse. What issues do...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jun 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: I am thinking about more practical things like social welfare supports and the former respite care grant we have talked about. Often people do not know about those things. I am thinking about almost a Citizens Information for carers that is tailored to the interactions of carers when they present. As Mr. Dunne rightly said, it is not just the caring element but also the financial element...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jun 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: I hear everything Mr. Dunne says. This is sometimes very much akin to the issue of rough sleeping in that there are supports there but for various reasons people fall between the cracks or do not know where to access those supports. Does Mr. Dunne think that separating the caring support connection from the public health nurse structure might be of benefit? The public health nurse has a...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jun 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: I cannot get my head around the contract and the tender for the service where people arrive for 15 minutes of professional care. With most tenders and contracts, the provider inflates the tender such that it is often bigger than what is required in order that they can gain profit and so on. However, the system we currently have seems to be such that they have almost cut the costs out of...

- Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: I appreciate the Leas-Cheann Comhairle was not here for the portion of the debate to which I am going to refer. So much of the discussion tonight has not been about the substance of the amendments. So much of it has been about certain accusations being made by members of the Opposition. I suggest they refer those to the Standards in Public Office Commission, SIPO, to the Garda or to...
