Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Facilities (9 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister for stealing my punchline because I am taking this question on behalf of Deputy Troy. I welcome the arrival of Maria Ginnell Troy, his daughter.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Facilities (9 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: The use of rapid build is increasingly important in both housing and the delivery of infrastructure but it can pose a challenge at constrained sites. In my constituency, Beaumont Hospital is an increasingly constrained site, although it once had a lot of land around it. The Mater hospital, which is nearby, is beyond maximum capacity. The big challenge will concern how rapid build can be...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I share the frustrations of everybody else here on the committee. As I said to RTÉ representatives on the day, this note either backs up their case or it undermines it. Their case is that this meeting, and the key decision to underwrite, was the crux of the entire issue, and who knew what on that. Therefore, for RTÉ not to provide it puts a doubt in our minds that this position...

Paul McAuliffe: I raise with the Tánaiste the issue of the public counter of the Probate Office having been closed since Covid. As he is aware, the death of a family member and the processing of probate can be a difficult experience for many families. It is not acceptable that a public counter is not available.
