Verona Murphy: Correct. That should happen well in advance of any cuts. I thank Mr. Gloster.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: I think the planning has been granted, or if not, it is in the process. My issue is that is what the €2.2 million would probably be going towards but we need that capital infrastructure. Is there any update on the medical centre for New Ross? No. Dr. Henry was putting his hand up to me there.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: I do not want to take advantage, Chair, but I would appreciate a little latitude.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: I turn to the reality of what is happening in our mental health services across the board. I do not know what kind of key performance indicators the HSE is using, but I can tell the witnesses of an adult who has been separated from her children for a couple of weeks, inflicted by her mother, who took her in because she is not coping mentally. She visited local mental health services where...

Verona Murphy: I would like to ensure I get an update on the medical centre in New Ross.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Mr. Conlon is running down the clock. Could Mr. Conlon please submit it to the committee?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: That is fine. Is it correct that it includes the names of those Mr. Conlon made aware of the expected detailed cost overruns, and the non-viability of this project?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Will Mr. Conlon please submit that to the committee? Was it a similar contract to that relating to the children's hospital in that there was no actual contract other than saying "Get on with it"? Was it a base contract?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Could Mr. Conlon get the details for us?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Could he please submit them to the committee as well? I want to move to coastal erosion. There are very serious issues in Enniscorthy, as Mr. Casey will be aware. Could he please give me the status of the flood relief scheme for Enniscorthy?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: I thank Mr. Casey. I want to ask about the PR consultant contract in respect of which the tender was withdrawn. Was there a reason for that?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Is Mr. Conlon going to reappoint the current consultants for another year? I believe that is allowed.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Reports in the newspapers this morning indicate that Mr. Conlon was concerned about his reputation. I am sure he knows this already, but from the public's perspective and from our perspective in the context of value for money, it would be much easier to enhance his reputation if the mistakes made by the OPW are not continued. If we learn from them, Mr. Conlon will not need a PR consultant.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Mr. Conlon's statement was very ill-informed. Most of the modular builds constructed by Shomera actually exceed the lifetime he mentioned. My question refers to the modular build. What is encompassed in the 45 sq. m, from a living perspective? Does it include toilets, bedrooms, sitting room, kitchen?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: That means there are two bedrooms at €442,000. I do not care if it is the most expensive, worst site in the history of the State. There is not a site in Dublin that has cost €289,000 as Mr. Conlon said in reply to Deputy Kelly, for groundworks. It must be remembered, the same preparation occurs for all constructed houses. It takes less time and it does not come in at that...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: We were at €289 million. Is this the same person who was contracted to provide the modular build? Is a different contractor providing the solar panels?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Mr. Conlon, as Chair of the OPW, is telling this committee and the public in general that the final cost of the modular build at an A1 rating, including solar panels fitted, is €442,000.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: That is not the question. The cost per unit is currently €442,000. Is Mr. Conlon saying that is without the fitting of solar panels? Is it the case that when that is completed, the cost is not going to change?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Will the cost change from €442,000 per unit?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: He expects it to stay the same.
