Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I apologise if there is any overlap in my questions; I had to miss Deputy Burke's contribution. I am going to dwell on the idea of the public sector spending codes a bit, for me to be clear in my own mind. There is a 2013 document, a substantial revision in 2019, and then this updated circular in 2023. I have all the parts. I will quote from the national development plan, NDP, from a...

2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: If Mr. Meaney says it is in the detailed technical documentation, why is it not front and centre? There was this high-level review among secretary generals in key capital spending Departments in April 2022, which led to this updated circular in 2023, and six key principles are referenced there. I contrast that to the national investment framework for transport in Ireland, NIFTI, for...

Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: This high-level review among the Secretaries General happened in April 2022. The climate Act was in place at that stage. There have been several climate action plans. Why am I not seeing climate in the key principles if this next piece of work is right there? When is this going to land?

Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I am hearing an awful lot of jargon. I am aware of the shadow price of carbon. Let us not have smoke and mirrors on this. This is a key document on how we direct and spend public money for the public good, but at the moment it is entirely silent on climate and the life-cycle emissions impact. Deputy O'Connor referred to metro north. That is key infrastructure that should, in the longer...

2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I might put a couple of questions on the chief information officer to move to a different subject. We were all very worried and affected by the HSE briefing that happened, and I wanted an overview of what kind of investment we are putting in subsequently. I know it is sometimes a case of closing the door after the horse has bolted, but what kind of investment are we now putting in to...

Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Turning to the gender pay gap information, the Department would have a strong role in how other Departments report on their expenditure. This committee previously recommended that gender pay gap information be included but the Department is doing it differently, publishing the information mid-year and not in the appropriation accounts. Is there a reason gender pay gap information is not...

- Employment (Collective Redundancies and Miscellaneous Provisions) and Companies (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (15 Nov 2023)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on this Bill. I am not a member of the Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment, so I would not be as close as some other Members to the gestation process the Bill went through. I think it has been shown that the pre-legislative scrutiny process produces better and more robust legislation. I am certainly much wiser from having sat...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Dental Services (14 Nov 2023)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: As the Deputy will understand, I am not in a position to make a commitment one way or another from where I am currently sitting. I will speak to the Office of the Ceann Comhairle. I agree with her sentiments that it is unacceptable.

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I will certainly undertake to do that.

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I will reiterate that point to the Ceann Comhairle.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Dental Services (14 Nov 2023)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: With respect to Topical Issue No. 3, I am afraid there is no Minister to take it. I will have to refer this to the Ceann Comhairle's office and ask him to take the submission of the Deputies' Topical Issue into consideration, be it tomorrow or Thursday. Currently, there is no Minister to take their Topical Issue.

Deputy Jennifer Murnane O'Connor - To discuss the expansion of dental...
