Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Colm Burke: Mr. Moloney has to accept that there was a major mess-up in this project by his Department regarding the time delay as well as the fact that there are now businesses that cannot borrow money, let premises, develop premises or sell premises. This has now been going on for 13 years, while the Department sat on the vine. This is the real world we are now dealing with.

Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Colm Burke: I ask for a process to be put in place to deal with this issue, not just for this project but for other flood relief projects.

Chapter 5: Vote Accounting and Budget Management (16 Nov 2023) Colm Burke: If the Department feels it cannot make decisions because of the restrictions of existing legislation, is it not time for the Department to come to the Minister and tell him that they need particular legislation to be amended to allow them to deal with these issues? We have used the planning Acts. For instance, we used different areas of legislation during Covid-19 because it was an...
