Appropriation Bill 2017: Second and Subsequent Stages (14 Dec 2017)

Dara Calleary: We will be supporting the Bill. As the Minister of State said it is a very technical Bill, but it is important.

Other Questions: Public Procurement Regulations (14 Dec 2017)

Dara Calleary: I thank the Minister of State. It is in this morning's Irish Mirrorand I recommend that the Minister of State look at it. It sends a very bad signal as people are still struggling. We have discussed the shortage of money for section 39 organisations but in some sections of the State there is a level of extravagance.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Capital Expenditure Programme Review (14 Dec 2017)

Dara Calleary: While I know it is not the responsibility of the Minister's Department, the national planning framework is a document that is causing serious concern. It has laid out choices with regard to the cities that are being selected but is leaving everything else to the regional assemblies in terms of spatial planning and, one would imagine, in terms of capital investment. Were we to publish the...
