- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (22 Feb 2023) Pearse Doherty: Please. Has it sought approval? That is the question; it is not about the Minister of State's conversations. I know Ministers are having conversations all the time. He met the officials and he told me that 20 minutes ago. Has they sought approval?
- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (22 Feb 2023) Pearse Doherty: It is excellent that the Minister of State is open to additional resources for Donegal County Council. However, I will ask the question again, because this is a committee of the Oireachtas and this is scrutiny on the Estimates and the outcome of those Estimates. Has the council at any stage requested approval to advance to the next step with the Donegal town scheme?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (22 Feb 2023) Pearse Doherty: But there is no progress in respect of the CFRAM programme, which was the point I made. Does the Minister of State accept that is the case?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (22 Feb 2023) Pearse Doherty: We will see when we get all documentation on it from Donegal County Council and the Department. At the end of the day, I take the Minister of State at his word on this. Why would he not do this? There is money to spend and it seems to me he wants it spent. I am not suggesting in any way that there is ulterior motive on this at all. However, what people cannot understand is that we had...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (22 Feb 2023) Pearse Doherty: I am not finished. There has been no progress over the past year. The Minister of State’s point is that it is Donegal County Council’s responsibility and its officials need to prepare the report. Donegal County Council will tell us that it is the Department that needs to allow them to do the necessary works and prioritise this. In the middle of this, we could have another...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (22 Feb 2023) Pearse Doherty: It is the Minister of State who is playing politics with this. We are talking about my constituency. I know these people. Many of the people in these communities vote for me, and they are at risk of their properties being flooded again. I tell the Minister of State not to make those accusations. He knows fine well what I said.
