Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Public Service Performance Report 2022: Department of Rural and Community Development (12 Jul 2023)

Denis Naughten: With all due respect, it might be more useful if we had this engagement with representatives from the Department or the CSO after the small area data become available in September. We will then have the most up-to-date information. At the moment, we are talking about the data from 2016, which are irrelevant today. This may be a topic that the committee might wish to put on its work...

Denis Naughten: Absolutely, but we might refer back to the Department at that stage in this regard. I wish to raise a couple of points. The first concerns the report we are considering. There is slow spending in respect of large capital projects. This has been acknowledged by the Department in the opening statement and the documentation provided. The committee plans to look at this matter in the autumn....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Public Service Performance Report 2022: Department of Rural and Community Development (12 Jul 2023)

Denis Naughten: The metric Deputy Ó Cuív has suggested might be better than my one. In fairness, we both probably represent as many islands but he represents ones that are actually occupied while none of mine are. That might be a better metric to use. We need a metric of access to the islands. I am open to Deputy Ó Cuív's better understanding of the situation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: General Scheme of the Civil Registration (Electronic Registration) Bill 2023: Department of Social Protection (5 Jul 2023)

Denis Naughten: I think Senator Burke is asking the procedure with regard to marriages and the obligation of registering. Traditionally in Ireland, many marriages were in churches. After the end of the marriage ceremony, the civil registration aspect took place. I know it is different legislation. I recall when we were bringing in the legislation expanding it to include solemnisers of marriages. Is the...
