Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (2 Jun 2022) Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am curious about the process that the Department went through in terms of that contract.

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (2 Jun 2022) Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: What I am hearing on the ground is concerning. I am curious about the process that the Department went through in assessing not only value for money, but also the range of food that was going to be provided to people who had come here in traumatic circumstances. In this regard, what consideration was given to issues of diet, culture, religion, how long a person might be in the...

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (2 Jun 2022) Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That is why I am asking Mr. McCarthy this now. I imagine if I was a Ukrainian person there, the last thing I would have the energy to do would be complain about food. I might just absorb it. It is probably appropriate that we proactively ask the questions. It might be helpful if the Department provided the committee with the weekly menu in order that we can see it and for people to have...

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (2 Jun 2022) Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I ask that it include whether the food is fresh and whether other things had to be purchased to support that. Does the Department know who is doing the catering? Is it an Irish company?

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (2 Jun 2022) Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: One of the questions that was asked about the provision of services, especially in those centres, was whether any commercial partnerships or donations had been considered in that respect. Is that something the Department considered at any stage?

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (2 Jun 2022) Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I understand and appreciate that. What I am interested in is that we can see the parameters of that at an early stage. I do not want the Committee of Public Accounts to have to come back to this in a year when we could have asked these questions now. It is my understanding that the Department will provide us with a sense of the parameters that it put around the contract when it was...
