- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Rose Conway-Walsh: I move on to the contest and impact indicators there. Under the third indicator, financial damages avoided, the first has remained the same despite being a cumulative figure over 2022 and 2023. Why has that not increased?
- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Rose Conway-Walsh: It is the third indicator. I do not think we have page numbers on this.

- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Rose Conway-Walsh: I would hope so. In A5, the flood risk management covers the cost of flood relief schemes and compensation. What is the breakdown of the flood relief cost versus the compensation in 2022 and 2023?

- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Rose Conway-Walsh: If the Minister of State can do that and give it back to the committee, it would be great. Under A5, €85.5 million was spent in 2022 and that dropped off substantially in 2023 to €59 million. The allocation is now back up to €82.7 million. What was the reason for the drop-off in spending?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Rose Conway-Walsh: Is the Minister of State concerned about the estimated €19 billion hole in the NDP? I have asked that of the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, when he has been here previously. He says it will not be as much as that. What would the Minister of State estimate it to be? IFAC says it is €19 billion.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Rose Conway-Walsh: The OPW had five new leases last year for the cost of €8.4 million. We will take it up on another day.
- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Rose Conway-Walsh: I know what the Minister of State is saying but we have to increase the pool. I want to ask him about the 330 leases that we paid €106 million for in rent last year. Is there a plan or strategy in place to reduce the reliance on leased properties? Is it an explicit aim of the OPW to move away from leasing, which is recognised as the most expensive option?
- International Court of Justice and Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (30 Jan 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: Last Friday, the International Court of Justice made a historic ruling. It ordered Israel to take action to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza. The court said Israel must stop killing Palestinians and causing serious physical and mental harm to them. Israel must also prevent its troops from committing genocide, prevent incitement to commit genocide, allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza and...
- Services for those Seeking Protection in Ireland: Statements (30 Jan 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate. I agree with the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment that Ireland has done an extraordinary job. The people have done an extraordinary job over recent months and years. Immigration can mean different things. It can mean people from Great Britain living and working here under the common travel area arrangements or people...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Schemes (25 Jan 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I am coming back on this again to the Minister because too many of the people who are on the Minister's list for 26 months do not have that length of time, unfortunately. Will the Minister please look at this to prioritise people, especially those people who have cancer or are terminally ill? Will he please do that, even from a humanitarian perspective? It has to be done. We cannot sit...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Environmental Schemes (25 Jan 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I put it to the Minister that the warmer homes scheme is not a priority. The reason I say this is because the pre-works take eight to ten months, the survey takes 14 months, the works completed take 24 to 26 months and the post-works BER assessment takes two to three months. I appeal to the Minister, particularly with regard to people on the warmer homes scheme waiting list who are...
