Chapter 3 - Vote accounting and budget management (10 Jul 2025) John Brady: The reason I raised that is there is a concern. There is an issue I imagine Mr. Moloney is familiar with in relation to the public services card. Concern has been expressed by the Data Protection Commissioner about the collection and usage of biometric data. That issue has been going on for a lengthy number of years. Mr. Moloney will be aware of the recent ruling by the Data Protection...

Chapter 3 - Vote accounting and budget management (10 Jul 2025) John Brady: Mr. Moloney is aware of the considerable fine of €550,000 by the Data Protection Commissioner concerning the use of that biometric data in respect of the public service card. It has been suggested that the fine will be appealed. Experts in the field have said it does not amount to value for money and could potentially end up in the European courts. Has the question of appealing the...

Chapter 3 - Vote accounting and budget management (10 Jul 2025) John Brady: Okay. In regard to public private partnerships, there has been a lot of focus on the recent decision to scrap bundle 3 of the PPP that would have provided for the construction of 486 houses. We had officials from the Department of housing before the committee some weeks ago and we asked them specific questions about this. What role did the Department of public expenditure play in the...

Chapter 3 - Vote accounting and budget management (10 Jul 2025) John Brady: Mr. Moloney is indicating that the Department of public expenditure has no role in this. It has been cited that there were value-for-money issues, costs had grown considerably and a particular decision was taken. Is the Secretary General saying there was no engagement between the Department of housing and the Department of public expenditure in regard to this PPP bundle?

It states that the officials "repeatedly sought" a meeting on the project with housing officials, later "requesting discussions as soon as possible" as a decision was due to be made on the future of...

Chapter 3 - Vote accounting and budget management (10 Jul 2025) John Brady: A key infrastructural project that was curtailed back in 2021 was the N11-M11 upgrade scheme, which is key not only for my constituency but also key for the greater good. Concerns were expressed when the decision was taken in 2021 to mothball that project. A particular concern was expressed by the Road Safety Authority at the time in respect of the N11-M11 scheme and a number of other key...

Chapter 3 - Vote accounting and budget management (10 Jul 2025) John Brady: I have engaged with the Minister on this issue but I wanted to flag it here. It is a key project and mothballing it back in 2021 was the wrong decision not just for Wicklow but for the greater good. It has a negative economic impact on the wider economy when thousands of commuters are stuck in traffic and delivery of goods and services is delayed. It is an oxymoron that vehicles are left...
