Catherine Connolly: Tá mé thar am. Tiocfaidh mé ar ais.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cúrsaí Tithíochta (30 May 2024)
Thomas Byrne: Maidir leis na treoirlínte, tá an ceart ag an Teachta. Tá an jab sin le déanamh agus tá sé á dhéanamh ag an Roinn tithíochta. Tá idirchaidreamh agus comhrá ag tarlú idir an dá Roinn agus idir na hoifigigh maidir leis na treoirlínte a chur chun críche, a fhoilsiú agus a chur i bhfeidhm chomh tapa agus is...

Catherine Connolly: Tá muid ag súil leis an tríú rúnda Fatima, freisin. Tá muid ag fanacht agus ag fanacht agus tá sé ag éirí i bhfad níos deacra dul taobh amuigh den Dáil agus éisteacht leis an rud atá á rá acu. Ceapann siad nach bhfuil rud á dhéanamh againn. Chun é a ardú os comhar na Dála arís,...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Connolly as ceist na dtreoirlínte a ardú. Gealladh iad seo dúinn breis is dhá bhliain ó shín. Níos luaithe i mbliana, dúradh linn go raibh siad críochnaithe agus go mbeadh siad foilsithe. Níl iontu ach dréacht. Dúradh linn gur dréacht atá iontu agus go mbeadh siad ag dul amach do...

Thomas Byrne: Caithfidh mé a rá arís go bhfuil oifigigh ón dá Roinn i mbun idirchaidrimh. Maidir leis an ábhar seo, tá siad ag iarraidh an obair sin a chur chun críche chomh luath agus is féidir. Tá me ag rá anseo go bhfuil an obair seo práinneach agus go gcaithfidh muid déileáil léi. Tá géarchéim thithíochta...

James O'Connor: 8. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if her Department has considered giving further support for community, local and regional radio stations in Ireland, including the broadcasting levy; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24323/24]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Broadcasting Sector (30 May 2024)
Pádraig O'Sullivan: I am taking this question on behalf of Deputy O'Connor. Has the Minister's Department given any consideration to further supporting community, local and regional radio stations in Ireland, including the broadcasting levy?
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Broadcasting Sector (30 May 2024)
Catherine Martin: Radio continues to play a key role in our society, as evidenced by the latest JNLR report showing 80% of adults in Ireland tuning in daily. Radio news is a vital and trusted source of information for the public, particularly for local and regional services. Given the importance of the radio sector, at my request Coimisiún na Meán have prepared a report into the economic viability...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Broadcasting Sector (30 May 2024)
Pádraig O'Sullivan: As the Minister has rightly said, 80% of people get their news information from local radio stations. That is worth bearing in mind. I assume Deputy O'Connor was referring to the likes of Radio Youghal. I would refer to Cork City Community Radio and CUH FM Hospital Radio, not to mention bigger broadcasters like Cork's 96FM and C103. This type of funding is fundamental for them to continue...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Cormac Devlin: I welcome back our witnesses this morning and thank them for the information they have supplied. Things have progressed since our most recent engagement. It is clear from the imagery the board has supplied and from our site visit that things have substantially progressed, which is good to see, but so too have the costs and so too has the timeline. I will take the Cathaoirleach's last...

Cormac Devlin: Correct.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Cormac Devlin: In a nutshell, would Mr. Gunning agree that the State is in a true bind here, contract or no contract? Whatever about elements and clauses of the contract, and repercussions of elements not being adhered to in the contract, the State is at the behest of BAM in order to finish this project out. Is that right?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Cormac Devlin: No, I appreciate that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Cormac Devlin: I will explain what I am trying to say. When we are sitting here at the Committee of Public Accounts in February 2025, Mr. Gunning might come before us again to say that BAM has now told the board that it will be June 2025 or December 2025 before this is substantially complete. It does not matter when or what year for the purposes of the point I am making. Is Mr. Gunning really telling us...

Cormac Devlin: That is the crux of the position. I know.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Cormac Devlin: In an ideal world, it would be someone from BAM sitting in Mr. Gunning’s seat. I am sure Mr. Gunning would love if someone from BAM were sitting in his seat, just as we would prefer to have someone from BAM in here. From what I am hearing - we also heard this at our previous engagement, as colleagues said earlier - the number of staff who have been allocated to this project has...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Cormac Devlin: I appreciate that but the costs when this hospital was first mooted are unrecognisable from what they are today. I understand that there are physical changes - we saw this when we were on site - and I accept that needs in the design have changed as well. Mr. Devine made the point earlier about the 23,000 new drawings and so on. I appreciate that things change. Anyone who has been involved...

Cormac Devlin: We wish you well with that. We hope not to be in this position again with further increases. I have another question for Mr. Gunning. His opening statement referred to the fact that the board is co-ordinating the 52-bedroom Ronald McDonald House. How does that fit into the project? It is obviously a not-for-profit building and organisation. It is not incorporated into the actual physical...

Cormac Devlin: It is not as big as some of the others.
