National Children's Hospital Costs: Statements (17 Apr 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I have three or four specific questions for the two Ministers. On page 65, the report states: "The Public Spending Code requires that a revised cost effectiveness analysis, cost benefit analysis or re-appraisal be undertaken in the event that serious additional costs arise". There were serious additional costs which were brought to the Government's attention. Who was responsible for not...

National Children's Hospital Costs: Statements (17 Apr 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Did the Minister carry out a cost-benefit appraisal?

National Children's Hospital Costs: Statements (17 Apr 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I have praised the Minister for Health in the past when praise was due to him but I cannot praise him on this occasion. The speech he has read - I do not think he wrote it - is an insult. The Minister has not dealt with any of the issues raised in the report we are discussing, which cost over €500,000, or indeed by PricewaterhouseCoopers in a previous report. I will come back to the...

Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (17 Apr 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil leis an gComhaontas Ghlas as ucht an rúin seo a chur os comhair na Dála. Sílim gur fear stuama é an Aire a thuigeann rudaí nuair a dhíríonn sé isteach orthu. Tá sé soiléir go bhfuil easpa tuiscine i measc lucht an Rialtais ó thaobh cé chomh práinneach is atá sé go...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (17 Apr 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Following on from Deputy McDonald's comments on the mother and baby homes report, I also request a full debate and not just questions and answers. The Taoiseach has spoken about this as if it in the past. It is not in the past. I spent two hours reading the report and I will go back and read it in detail. The report states: "The Commission is surprised by the lack of knowledge about the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Apr 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I agree. I took the trouble to read it. We cannot get into the minutiae but it highlights the nature of governance and the gaps if what is in the letter is accurate, notwithstanding that representatives of the board were before us and the direction from the Department of Education and Skills. While we cannot get into the minutiae, the response of the Department will be very significant.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Apr 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the publication of the business case evaluation. I would like an opportunity to revert to it at some time in a general way in regard to how business cases are made. It is dated 17 November 2017. I tried to get this before and I welcome that it is now on public record. Perhaps with the Chairman's indulgence I will come back to it some time, but not today.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Apr 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I am glad the Chairman raised it. I did not read the report. I just glanced at it today and saw that. I had it marked. I brought in the report with me. It is not up for discussion today but I am glad the Chairman raised it because it ties in with the conclusions made. It seems to me that PwC was never asked to make conclusions. It was given terms of reference to look at governance and...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Apr 2019)

Catherine Connolly: PwC was one of a number of advisers. It would be interesting to know who were the other advisers.
