- Seanad: Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage (13 Feb 2019)
Kevin Moran: The Judicial Council Bill is due to introduce a sentencing committee. The Minister is proposing that it is given the power to draw up sentencing guidelines.

- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (12 Feb 2019) Kevin Moran: My Department has received no information on funding from the Cabinet. However, it has been widely flagged that a number of Departments have been asked about cutbacks in allocations. The information given to my Department is that a figure of €3 million is with the Cabinet, but I have received no information back on it. We have no role whatsoever in the children's hospital project....
- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (12 Feb 2019) Kevin Moran: My answer is we have no role in the children's hospital project. The chairman can deal with the other question. On construction inflation, costs have gone up by 3.95% nationally. This will have an impact when we price a job. For example, on a scheme we announced some time ago we saw that because of inflation some extra funding might be required. My apologies - I think I am reading it...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (12 Feb 2019) Kevin Moran: Expenditure of €15 million was provided for the works on Leinster House. Having seen the work on a tour with Members today, the amount of work involved is apparent. The figure will exceed €15 million but I do not know by how much. A certain amount of work was not foreseen. This is evident when one peels back the lead flashing to see the damage, particularly around the...
- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (12 Feb 2019) Kevin Moran: It would be wrong for me to give a figure at this time. Faults were found when the flooring was peeled back and work was needed to address them. The ceilings had to be pinned up again, which takes time. Leinster House is a protected structure so the work is time consuming and costly.
