Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Sorry. I have a couple of questions on the contractors list in relation to a parliamentary question to which I received the answer yesterday. I refer to the contractors list and the criteria the OPW has set out where contractors are removed, including if they do not match the criteria in the application form. Reference is made to an application form including details such as insurance,...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I do not propose to spend much more time on the bike shelter. I want to ask about the siopa at the front of Leinster House.

Is there a plan for what is going to happen...

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: This may seem a facetious question, but I do not intend it facetiously. Did anybody look at the siopa for the provision of bike parking? When the OPW set about a project to say, "We need to build some bike parking", did anybody at any stage say, "The siopa has been chronically underutilised?" Was it factored in anywhere? No. Okay. It would-----

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: To me, it seems as obvious as the nose on my face, but there we go. Another thing that is as obvious as the nose on my face is climate change and sea level rise. What sea level rise is the OPW factoring into its forward planning?

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: But Mr. Mooney is saying 2100. Is that the kind of timeframe within which the OPW is predicting these scenarios?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I think most evidence would point towards around a metre by 2100. The witnesses can probably guess my next question. The last major coastal change study the OPW has done does not factor that in. Professor Peter Thorne, in a report from Caroline O'Doherty, said what we were announcing was "a plan to make a plan" in terms of dealing with coastal erosion. Our coastal erosion study does not...
