- 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: Of course, it is appropriate to build in a contingency. The Minister of State should not throw away glib comments about building extra floors to lie empty.

- 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: Let me deal with this. A total of 1,090 were assigned to headquarters and needed to be moved. The Minister of State said the OPW built in a contingency of 20% which means it should build for about 1,300, yet it built for 880. That is why 500 gardaí are without a place in Military Road. It is not rocket science.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (22 Feb 2023) Pearse Doherty: The Minister of State asked a question; he does not want to hear the answer. If 1,090 gardaí needed to be moved from headquarters, at the very start I would build enough accommodation for those individuals and then build in a contingency, which is probably appropriate, of 20%.
- 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: First of all, the OPW has already had to go to the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform with a request to rent out more accommodation because the place it built and turned the key for last November does not have enough spaces in it.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (22 Feb 2023) Pearse Doherty: Exactly. When 1,090 gardaí need to be moved, the starting point for me if I were Minister of State would be to build accommodation for at least the 1,090 individuals and then build in a bit of contingency. The Minister of State decided not to do that.
