Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Transport Policy (24 Jun 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: It is very welcome that we will have a planning decision by 30 September. The Minister is right that the decision to bring it to the Cabinet for gate 1 was really important. The Minister, Deputy Lawless, really assisted us in doing that. He came on site and examined the potential of it. I was pleased the Cabinet signed off on that. Almost all the Luas projects that have happened have...

Paul McAuliffe: I compliment my colleague from Dublin 15. Representatives from that area have been working on the issue of drones for some time.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Jun 2025)

Paul McAuliffe: Like Deputy Connolly, I am very reluctant to say what I am about to say. The Peter McVerry Trust has done, and continues to do, huge amounts of good work, but there is no doubt that when an organisation is the subject of an inspection report, significant amounts of public controversy and, on top of that, the injection of €15 million of public money, there is an obligation on it to...
