- European Parliament Elections (Amendment) Bill 2019: Second Stage (6 Feb 2019)
Shane Cassells: They do not have any. They have the longest-suspended parliament in the history of the world. Sinn Féin's voters would be disappointed with what it is after.

- European Parliament Elections (Amendment) Bill 2019: Second Stage (6 Feb 2019)
Shane Cassells: There may not have been much interest among Deputies in contributing to the debate, but the Bill is exceptionally important, not least because of what is happening across the water. As the Minister of State stated, it is the first item of legislation that will be affected by Brexit which will have a direct impact on this country. We all believed the impact would be straightforward, that the...

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Shane Cassells: I welcome our guests. A lot of figures have already been quoted. I want to keep things straight so we can focus on drilling down into the figures. In answering the Chairman's question about the €637 million, Mr. Breslin said that was not inclusive of VAT. That is at odds with what the then Minister for Health, Deputy Varadkar, said in April 2016. He said it was an all-in figure,...
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Shane Cassells: Yes, certainly.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Shane Cassells: One cannot get more conclusive than the Minister saying "all in". I want clarification on the €637 million, which has been referred to and asked about. What were phase A groundworks at the time of the business case being priced at?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Shane Cassells: Okay, so €100 million all in. Phase A works are nearing completion. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Shane Cassells: What are they likely to come in at? Are they likely to come in on budget, at around that €100 million mark?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Shane Cassells: It is important to note that they of course had a detailed design. They are coming in pretty much on budget which means that phase B of that €637 million was coming in at €500 million plus, yet we see a project where the add-ons alone are now equalling or exceeding the original business case price. Correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Shane Cassells: Yes. It is quite amazing. Mr. Breslin referred to table 3 in terms of the comparison of the business case versus the guaranteed maximum price. The difference there, I think, comes in at 40%. That is surely a misleading of this committee, or indeed any other committee, when we see that that is quite frankly not the case.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Shane Cassells: Anyone can accept a small change in price, but this is a business case that was coming in at €637 million and in respect of which the groundworks were actually going to come in on price, and then there was more than a doubling of the construction costs. This is simply quite unfathomable to the rest of the public. I ask the witnesses to talk to me about the €346 million that...
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Shane Cassells: No. This is not a political charge.

Shane Cassells: I do not care about the man's politics, but he went on the "Six One" news and told the people €650 million-----
