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...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Broadcasting Sector (30 May 2024)

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)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I apologise that I missed some of the contributions. use I was speaking in the Dáil, so I apologise if I repeat some questions that were put previously. Deputy Kelly began by citing “Room to Improve”. Unfortunately, a different programme comes to mind here. It is one of the episodes of "Killinaskully" in which the Pat Shortt character is selling concrete frogs. The...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Regarding that timeline, what is the baseline date? We see it slip and slip. We are now hearing February 2025 for a substantial completion date, which is a difficult date to believe when we do not have a baseline programme. If we are pursuing the contractor for these damages after the fact, what is the baseline against? What was the expected date?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Okay, so we can expect the process after the fact, and probably a contested process after the fact, to seek-----

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Which will cost time and money, as all of these things do. The last time Mr. Gunning was with us, he was quite sanguine about the number of contractors on site and the substantial completion date we had been given at that time, which has slipped as of this morning. He felt that, through robust engagement with the contractors, he was seeing enough boots on the ground to make that timeline...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Regarding when Mr. Gunning was supplied this, I assume that in preparation for his appearance before the Committee of Public Accounts today, he engaged with the contractors and told them, “We will be answerable to the Oireachtas; please give us updated substantial completion dates,” or whatever it is. When did that process happen? Where my question is going with this is there...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: When was that most recent information provided to Mr. Gunning?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I am stating the obvious but it becomes clear that the relationship between the development board and the contractor is not the one that we would hope for, whereby Mr. Gunning could pick up the phone to somebody and say, “How are you there, Tom? How are things going? What is the latest?” Of course, it has to be a formalised process because of the amount of money we are...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Good. That is better than what was existing in my head, so I am glad Mr. Gunning clarified it.
