Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Rare Diseases: Discussion (26 May 2021)

Neasa Hourigan: I have one follow-up question for Dr. Lynch. I am aware that genetics is a very specialised discipline. I assume that what is involved in the programme for Government is a centre of excellence, but is there a need for regional points of knowledge within the system so that they can be directed towards the centre of excellence?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 May 2021)

Neasa Hourigan: In reading that letter, I see that the board has agreed a moratorium on all further disputes with the contractor until June 2021. That should be borne in mind when scheduling any meetings because we might find ourselves reviewing what happened in 2020 and a raft of disputes at a time when we are facing into a new set of disputes. I just wanted to flag that. The June 2021 deadline is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Human Rights and Mental Health: Discussion (25 May 2021)

Neasa Hourigan: Good afternoon everyone. I will ask my questions and the witnesses may respond as they prefer. Before doing so, I reiterate the point made by Mr. Herrick that An Garda Síochána has been asked to walk a tightrope in the past year and has done so quite well but this is not a great long-term solution, as it puts much pressure on the force. In the submissions today we have heard...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Planning Issues (20 May 2021)

Neasa Hourigan: I thank the Minister of State. As he said, build-to-rent makes up 16% overall but that figure is 65% in my constituency. That is a predominance of build-to-rent. I take the Minister of State's point about Maynooth but we might just stick with the issue around the quality of build-to-rent accommodation. It is a lower standard and there are lower requirements for storage and public...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Planning Issues (20 May 2021)

I do not like the fact there is a two-tier standard of housing that differentiates between what you might need when you are renting and what you might need when you own a building. I do not like the...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Public Service Performance Report 2020: Discussion (20 May 2021)

Neasa Hourigan: I might ask some questions of my own of Mr. Downes. We talked this morning about value for money. When the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform undertakes a value-for-money exercise, what are the timeframes involved? This is possibly different across Departments. I am asking the question with an eye to the future and the use of capital funds to address environmental issues such as...
