Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024) Cormac Devlin: I thank the Tánaiste for his opening statement. I will touch on a few items. He mentioned the European Peace Facility and the increased funding for it. I note last Wednesday that, with the co-operation with the Lithuanians, €3 million was committed to providing for a bomb shelter for a school in Ukraine. That was a joint initiative. I am not sure if that is under the European...

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: Does the OPW not have a rolling contract with providers for portacabins and so on when required? It seems strange to me that that would be part of a project cost when, in fact, the OPW is doing this all the time right across the country, as Mr. Conlon said earlier. Would an existing contract not be in place so the OPW does not have additional costs on every single project, either a...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: Although I heard what the witnesses said about the EV charging points, why were they not part and parcel of the cost if they were constructed at the same time? Obviously, if we include them, we are talking about €447,000.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: Ms Collier mentioned the actual charging points for the bike shelter itself earlier. They have not been switched on and that is a separate contract but is that all included in the cost?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: If it was finished in March 2024, at what point did the cost overruns become apparent? Was that through the public domain, via the media? When was it apparent that this was a runaway train?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Cormac Devlin: Okay, but the amount of money that was spent on the project was obviously hugely more than the average Joe punter would give for a bike shelter. In fact, a lot of commercial companies were memeing about the fact that the OPW spent €335,000 on a bike shelter and they could do it for a fraction of that cost. When did it become apparent internally in the OPW that this amount of money...
