Nursing Home Care: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)

David Cullinane: ...told with regard to the extent of the crisis. The Ministers quite rightly spoke about the additional funding that was made available for PPE, oxygen and the temporary assistance payment scheme, TAPS, and the temporary inflation payment scheme, TIPS, all of which I welcomed.

Long-Term Residential Care: Motion [Private Members] (13 Jul 2021)

David Cullinane: ...We must get it done and ensure that legislation is delivered. We must empower HIQA to issue compliance notices and give it more teeth to do what it needs to do. I agree with previous speakers about the TAPS funding. It cannot be money that is provided forever, but it was premature to cut that funding at a time when nursing homes are still obliged to put infection control measures in...

Chapter 23: Accounts of the National Treasury Management Agency
National Treasury Management Agency: Financial Statements 2017 (12 Jul 2018)

David Cullinane: ...we had a rainy day fund before. That rainy day fund was meant to ensure that if there was an economic downturn of if there was any economic turbulence we would have some money to invest or even to tap into to be able to pay for day-to-day spending if there was a shortfall, but certainly it was more of an investment. That did not happen. It did rain. The economy crashed and the money...

David Cullinane: ...and ports. The Minister knows that Rosslare Europort provides real opportunities for this State in a post-Brexit world, as does the Port of Waterford, which has massive capacity that can be tapped into in many ways. I met the chief executive officer and the staff of the port a number of months ago and great progress has been made in Waterford in recent years, where activity is up. The...

Topical Issue Debate: Schools Building Projects Status (14 Dec 2016)

David Cullinane: ...informed that there were major exceedances of lead in the water supply, even after a five minutes' flush. As it was the BOM belief that major work was soon to begin on the school, an external temporary drinking water tap was installed on the school grounds and no other structural work was done to the pipes. This single tap provides the only drinkable water on the school grounds for a...

David Cullinane: ...history and should be able to borrow to spend on badly needed infrastructure. IBEC is saying this. It then went on to say that it was unconcerned about the associated rise in national debt as capital investment taps into a wider economic dynamic. We will leave to one side my astonishment at IBEC suddenly advocating public investment after being supply-side cheerleaders for so long but...

David Cullinane: ...the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Brendan Howlin, who said the referendum was unnecessary, and not only unnecessary but a grave mistake, because essentially it turned off the tap on the banks.

Seanad: Water Services (No. 2) Bill 2013: Report Stage (17 Dec 2013)

David Cullinane: ...spoke about unaccounted for water. The only way we can deal with unaccounted for water is if we upgrade the system and have significant capital investment in it. Rather than putting a till on the taps of householders or cash registers outside their doors and spending money on water meters, it would have been much better had the Government used that money to fix the system, which is the...

David Cullinane: ...to conserve water and use it more appropriately and that charging for it is one mechanism that will do this. This in turn will incentivise people to then invest in technologies, be they automatic taps with sensors, auto-flush toilets, rainwater harvesting and so on. The Minister of State asserts this would be a good thing but he will not provide grant aid to them to do it. My point is...

Seanad: Water Services (No. 2) Bill 2013: Committee Stage (Resumed) (16 Dec 2013)

David Cullinane: ...properties or their business premises with water conservation measures such as rain harvesting, grey water harvesting or other measures one can take within a building, such as auto-flush toilets for taps and so on.

David Cullinane: ...be better to spend the money on improving the water infrastructure in this State rather than use taxpayers' money to put meters outside people's doors which the Government can use as some sort of tap to get more taxes from them? At the same time, the Government will not introduce any new taxes for higher earners or will not look at the concept of a wealth tax. It has no difficulty...
