John Cummins: That is fine. I will not take the full time, but I want to tease out the question I asked in the first round on the opinion on section 57. I think Dr. Clinton previously used the words "conflict of interest" in response to another question. I suggested that a suitably qualified graded conservation architect could sign off on such works under section 57. Is there an inherent suggestion in...

John Cummins: Yes. I am going wider and I appreciate that. However, it is relevant to the work we are doing as a committee on dereliction and vacancy. Yes, under section 57 of the Planning and Development Act, it provides for that with approval of the local authority, obviously, with the architect. At the moment, as Dr. Johnson well knows, there is under-resourcing in that space, which causes lengthy...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Monuments and Archaeological Heritage Bill: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (3 Feb 2022)
John Cummins: In the case where it is, are we suggesting that just because a graded conservation architect is being paid for by the owner of the property, he or she could not do an adequate and sufficient job to oversee such works? Does Mr. Lumley not believe that would be appropriate, given the resources constraints that are there? We have to acknowledge that it is all well and good to present the...

John Cummins: I do not know if I will get an answer to the question.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Monuments and Archaeological Heritage Bill: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (3 Feb 2022)
John Cummins: I appreciate that I have gone wider. However, it has a bearing and we have An Taisce before us here.

John Cummins: If we took it a step further and we opened up the transparency of that dialogue between both, would that address some of the concerns Mr. Lumley has?
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Feb 2022)
John Cummins: In July 2020, the board of Waterford Airport made an application to lengthen the runway by 491 m at the northern end, and 363 m to the southern end, and to widen it from 30 m to 45 m, which would facilitate the landing of Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft. It is an essential component to the future development of the airport. The Government also decided at Cabinet to support this with...

John Cummins: I propose to share time with Senator Ward.
- Seanad: Search and Rescue Policy: Motion (2 Feb 2022)
John Cummins: I question the wisdom of having such a motion on the Order Paper. It creates a dangerous precedent that this House can be used to threaten and undermine the integrity of the public procurement process. Senator Craughwell should know better than to be looking for commercially sensitive documentation during a tender process. He also made some very serious allegations both on the record of...
