- Public Accounts Committee: 2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Of the one in six found to be non-compliant, how many of them came back into compliance subsequently after the engagement with the Department? Are these all faults that are quickly remedied, as in, there has been a misunderstanding here, the paperwork has been wrong and so on, or are there repercussions for people who continue in a state of non-compliance?

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Apr 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I do not think we will be at cross-purposes in this discussion. It looks like I would be lead questioner on that issue. We should flag active travel as it has been an area of huge growth in expenditure and I would be very interested in that issue. Active travel teams have been put into every council and they are supposed to recruit into those roles and build in-house capacity. I would be...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Apr 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: They have all been given additional engineers. The problem is that many of those roles cannot be filled and they cannot find the competencies, because, whatever about engineers, behavioural change people are also needed who are experts at community engagement. We all know about active travel in our communities, that if we get out and explain it to people, there will be much better buy-in....

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Apr 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I imagine that this will be dealt with in correspondence next week. I wrote to the committee secretariat about the Road Safety Authority. This can be checked with the secretariat, but I believe the authority's representatives have not appeared before the committee since 2006. I know the matter is topical and that the Minister is doing a job of work in respect of it.

To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if, with regard to the TAMS scheme, he will consider allowing farmhouse and farm bills to be linked in one bill, allow unused electricity sold to the grid to be offset at full price to electricity purchased from the grid or any other measure which would make the scheme more viable for farmers of all types regardless of the amount...
- Road Safety: Statements (17 Apr 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Something that has struck me in this debate so far is the emphasis on drivers only. Automobile traffic is the only thing that has been mentioned. Members have not spoken of the fact that many of the people who have died on our roads are either pedestrians or cyclists, nor has our definition of what we understand road safety to be been broadened to include all people. It reinforces for me...

However, to see that we need to see the money....
