- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) David Cullinane: Again, this is part of the hard sell to convince us that we are turning a corner on the housing crisis. Some €100 million is being made available over three years as part of this, but in 2019 there will be no delivery whatsoever. There is no target and there will be no delivery. There is a pilot project in Dún Laoghaire consisting of a cost rental scheme for affordable rent...

Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) David Cullinane: This is my final question. What is the total amount that the State has spent on subsidising private accommodation for people with a social housing need? I imagine that would include the housing assistance payment, HAP, the rental accommodation scheme, RAS, and perhaps some leasing. There are two elements to the leasing scheme, lease-to-lease and lease-to-own. What is the total projected...

Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) David Cullinane: It is projected to increase again in 2020. I saw a prediction that it will increase to €900 million. I refer to the total spent on subsidising people in private accommodation, including leasing.

- Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2019: Second Stage (Resumed) (27 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: The Border.
- Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2019: Second Stage (26 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: Hear, hear.
- Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2019: Second Stage (26 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: The point is we are very close to D-Day. This State, and every member state, is planning for a no-deal Brexit. We are being told these are the contingencies. On the other hand, we are also being told that there might be some solutions down the road for the agrifood business and farmers. They have not seen them, however. We have also not seen any bespoke solutions for this State to be...
- Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2019: Second Stage (26 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: This omnibus Bill is the bare minimum needed in terms of Brexit planning. It is a steady state solution that does not plan adequately for the economic consequences of a hard crash-out of the EU by the UK. This is despite the fact that the Bill is being portrayed as a comprehensive response to the disruption Brexit will bring. However, it does not engage with the realities that many...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: A number of times in this Dáil I have raised the issue of the need for a second catheterisation laboratory, cath lab, at University Hospital Waterford. The Taoiseach will be aware that in October of last year the Minister for Health signed off on that proposal. It was also in the health Estimates, so that the funding, we understand, is there. It is caught up with all the other capital...
- Written Answers — Department of Health: Brexit Issues (26 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: 331. To ask the Minister for Health if Irish citizens in Northern Ireland will be able to apply for a European health insurance card through the HSE post-Brexit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9243/19]
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: I wish to make a wider point. I realise we are dealing with the letter from the Secretary General of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. I will deal with that in a moment. I raised this matter at the last meeting and I need your guidance, Chairman, on how we will proceed with it now. When we first dealt with this we discussed the matter with the Secretary General of the...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: Yes, but primarily the Minister is responsible to the sectoral committees. The Accounting Officer, who is the Secretary General, is accountable to the Committee of Public Accounts. We are dealing with issues to do with process failures, systems failures and procedural failures, all of which fall under the remit of the Committee of Public Accounts. There are times of course when they also...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: It was done for the right reasons. In regard to the responses from Mr. Watt and Mr. Quinn, it is not acceptable for Mr. Quinn to simply say that the Accounting Officer, that is, the Secretary General, is coming in so that covers him. The Accounting Officer did not sit on the board, Mr. Quinn did and he is the person who must answer the questions. How can the Accounting Officer answer...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Feb 2019)
David Cullinane: At some point, we will report on the initial hearing we had with the Department and the board. I cannot sign off on that report because I do not think we were able to do our job. Furthermore, as was said by Deputy Kelly, whatever discussions we had are almost insignificant now because of all the information that emerged afterwards. We have to have that meeting again. The contributions made...

David Cullinane: Does Mr. McCarthy have any tips?
