Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick (9 May 2024)

Cormac Devlin: ...and his response to me at the time was that, "There is a governance process in place between the HEA and the university. We have paused funding while we await the KPMG report". The same question applies to the HEA. This is a new Department looking specifically at higher and further education. First, what has it done to liaise with the HEA? Second, what has it done after reading...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Cormac Devlin: What is the timeframe after the NTA meets them? Last year fines were applied and so forth. How often do those meetings take place and are they on the basis of the level of complaints? Mr. Ryan also wishes to respond. Will the witnesses forward a note on the levels of fines being issued, especially around route 63? I could name a whole host of routes, but I will not as I have limited...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Cormac Devlin: ...the complaints I have received, it appears the service does not address the demand after 8 p.m. What will the NTA do not only about the 702 route, but also about other routes where an operator applied stating it would provide a certain level of service and is not doing so? It has changed its mind. The demand exists. Is the NTA reviewing that?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Cormac Devlin: Ms Graham can see where I am coming from. A provider applied for a licence to operate a service. It got the licence and then, since the Covid-19 pandemic, reduced the level of service. It did not return to the level it was once at, and then it disappeared. Is that not of concern to the NTA? Would it not explore putting on another service if another application is made? I do not know...

United Kingdom Import Controls: Statements (25 Jan 2024)

Cormac Devlin: ...UK customers, their local supervisory authority and logistical providers to confirm appropriate processes are in place. Thankfully, given the status of the North, the new UK requirements do not apply to goods moving between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

I hear of different approaches by different offices on how one can apply for such a service, bearing in mind that some of these people may be pregnant, elderly, or infirm. It is not a standard approach across the Department's own branches and that is causing a...

My understanding is that a lot of local individuals have applied to do apprenticeships, having heard the advertising on the radio, but there is not a sufficient level of buy-in from industry. Applicants, therefore, can do one element of the apprenticeship...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Climate Action Plan 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Jun 2023)

Cormac Devlin: ...has been for the past number of years. In regard to the existing housing stock, the Minister referred to a target of 2,400 retrofits this year. Where are we with that target? Also, the same issues apply for private homeowners versus the local authority housing stock, whereby some of the units are quite challenging to retrofit. I accept that slows the process down. Where the local...

I note what has been said, that there is a report being done and that the council applied for funding in 2019, three years ago. I am not sure when the report is to be done. Mr. McGrath might be able to clarify that with the Department. Surely, however, he as chief executive...

If, for instance, a good few years ago - Dr. Byrne is correct in that this was under a certain scheme - somebody applied for attic insulation which did not bring the property up to a specific standard, due to fact they applied for it under the previous scheme, irrespective of how good or beneficial it was, is it correct to say that they cannot re-apply under...
