Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 Dec 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: Yes, but I am also referring to my understanding of the private document I read. I say that because I want people to believe that in all the sources available to me, I can find no corroborating evidence for the answer that is clearly given in question No. 4. In fact, it is troubling that this reply would be given in the documents provided to us by RTÉ. Of all the different answers,...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 Dec 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I think all members would have hoped there would be no requirement for any further public meetings. It is disappointing, as we approach the end of 2023, that the decision was made not to make those reports available to us before the end of this calendar year when our specific remit to hold public hearings allows us to do that. It is problematic for us that a decision was made by RTÉ...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 Dec 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: On the point on the answers to questions Nos. 4 and 39a regarding the provision of a guarantee at the meeting of 7 May, the principal argument of RTÉ is that the guarantee was given at the meeting of 7 May. It has been its position from the very beginning. I cannot recall any primary evidence from anybody before the committee, given that Dee Forbes was not here and many of the people...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 Dec 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I cannot reflect on Mr. Kelly's evidence because I do not have all of it and I do not know whether he referenced it or whether he was asked about it. He is the only other person who could provide the information. From RTÉ's perspective, I do not recall any evidence it provided for its principal defence.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 Dec 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: The Peter McVerry Trust issue warrants discussion with regard to the answers provided by the Secretary General, which indicated the Department and the wider public will be in possession of a larger number of facts following the conclusion of the reports. Depending on the content of the reports, we should consider inviting the Department to come back to discuss this specific topic. I do not...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Waste Management (13 Dec 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: Like all my colleagues, I call for the remunicipalisation of bin services in our city because this is one of the issues raised most regularly with us on the doorsteps. While I might disagree with some of the narrative about how we got here, I do not disagree that the way forward is certainly not clear. The Taoiseach has indicated that this is within the power of the local authorities. With...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Waste Management (13 Dec 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: The Minister of State has crystallised the argument. He said there is nothing to stop Dublin City Council or any other local authority from re-entering the market. Then, he produced a litany of reasons it should not happen. The officials in all our local authorities hear this. They hear the Custom House saying why this cannot happen rather than why it can. We should have more devolved...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (7 Dec 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: From the very earliest days of this Dáil I have been pushing for the establishment of the Finglas primary care centre which is part of the Sláintecare plank of improving healthcare through primary care. We have received an update on the very slow process of transferring land from the diocese to Dublin City Council and then on to the HSE. We have been promised that a planning...
