Catherine Murphy: The staff are paid by the NTMA but the staff are seconded.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 May 2022)

Catherine Murphy: That is what jumped out to most of us. On the table, there is quite a variation in the cost. Does that include land costs by county? For example, the third most expensive one was County Waterford. It may have been what they were building or whatever. If it is an average and that was a small number, that would be different.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 May 2022)

Catherine Murphy: Maybe we will ask HBFI for clarification on that.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 May 2022)

Catherine Murphy: We need to know whether there are projects that are not going to proceed because they are no longer viable and inflation costs have not been taken into consideration and TII has been notified of this. Ideally we want to see the projects done for the amount contracted. There would want to be a very good reason they would not proceed. We are starting to see points of concern that would add...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 May 2022)

Catherine Murphy: What correspondence is this?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 May 2022)

Catherine Murphy: I have asked about the sanctions that might be applied, given that the contract is a two-sided process and that there is an obligation on the contractor's side. The contractor was slow to get the thing up and running, and we are now into an inflationary period. What I feel we are getting is an attitude of "Trust us" that all sanctions are being applied. This committee is required to...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 May 2022)

Catherine Murphy: I can probably ask UL representatives next week whether the Department has suspended funding, as I think it has done, and what it would take to reinstate that. Those are questions I can put to them next week. It may be worth alerting them that they are required to have responses to those questions as to what it would take to reinstate funding if it has been suspended.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 May 2022)

Catherine Murphy: If we cannot see that report, is there an alternative route?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 May 2022)

Catherine Murphy: Okay. The whole idea of getting them in was that we were going to have that report in advance. If they are going to come along and pretty much tell us that we cannot talk about it, that it has gone to law and so on-----

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 May 2022)

Catherine Murphy: What are we talking to them about? This could be a very short meeting.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 May 2022)

Catherine Murphy: Except the very thing we want to talk about.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 May 2022)

Catherine Murphy: When we get the strategy, we might go back to the NTA. The paragraph in regard to the updated greater Dublin area transport strategy 2022 to 2035 is due to be provided shortly. What it refers to is some extensions to the DART+ programme, both of which are in my constituency, one to Kilcock and the other on the Kildare line to Sallins. Those will be at minimal cost. In fact, for DART+, the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (5 May 2022)

Catherine Murphy: Is there an international comparison with regard to the collection of tolls? If, for example, a person goes through a toll collection point and does not have a tag or whatever, the toll has to be paid by the following evening, which is when most people will do it. However, penalties arrive very quickly if, say, somebody does not get to pay the toll. How do we compare with other...
