Cormac Devlin: ...warehousing. Mr. Cody said 57,811 customers with €1.75 billion owed money under the debt warehousing scheme. Two thirds of those customers have a low balance of under €1,000 but there are far more significant cases with almost 3,120 customers owing over €100,000. I note there was a significant reduction in debt levels between July and December 2023. How was this...

Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): Discussion (12 Oct 2023)

Cormac Devlin: I welcome our witnesses. My first question is for Mr. Bakhurst. Many questions have been asked about the agreement and indeed the McCann FitzGerald report. Can I just get clarity? As far as I am aware there are reports by Mazars, Grant Thornton and McCann FitzGerald. Are all the big firms employed now by RTÉ for reviews? How many are under way?

Public Accounts Committee: NAMA Financial Statements 2022 and Special Report 116 of the Comptroller and Auditor General (28 Sep 2023)

Cormac Devlin: ...maintaining the planning permissions? I hear what Mr. McDonagh is saying, in that there could be good, bad and indifferent types of planning on certain sites but, ultimately, as he knows, they are far more valuable with planning than without. He might send on a note, and he might not have a breakdown of it, on the assets that had full planning at the time of NAMA acquiring them and on...

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023)

Cormac Devlin: The donation of 365 ventilators to India is very welcome and was the right thing to do because the authorities there had a far worse situation on their hands than we did. To clarify, is Mr. Mulvany saying that approximately 600 machines were unusable?

This substantial increase in judicial resources will be complemented by the ongoing implementation of the far-reaching Courts Service modernisation plan, for which additional funding has been provided in 2023, as well as strategic reforms to court operations including the frequency, location and...

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on Lil Reds Legacy Sepsis Awareness Campaign: Mr. Joseph Hughes and Irish Sepsis Foundation (2 Mar 2023)

Cormac Devlin: .... That highlights the impact of the situation here in Ireland. I have no questions per se. The statement covers a great deal of Mr. Hughes’s personal experience. Ms O’Mahony’s responses to questions so far have answered some of the questions I would have asked had I been physically here in the committee room. In order to progress this and to assist the campaign, we...

COP27: Statements (29 Nov 2022)

Cormac Devlin: ...Ryan, to ensure that the fund includes very robust controls to ensure the monies are directed to those most in need. Here in Ireland, the focus must be on a fast transition and we need to see far more urgency in areas like solar, retrofitting and upgrading the public transport network. The Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, will be aware that I have raised in the past his own suggestion that...

Abuse at Certain Educational Institutions: Statements (24 Nov 2022)

Cormac Devlin: ...forward and those who may never do so. This is traumatising for those who have been victims of abuse at any stage of their lives. I know they have been stunned by the extent of the abuse, with groups meeting up as far away as Sydney to discuss the situation. There is a deep sadness and outrage among these groups about what their fellow pupils have endured. They are clear there is a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Retrofitting Schemes: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (11 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: ...issue of deep retrofits. On the previous occasion the SEAI was before the committee, the target was 500,000 homes with 75,000 homes per annum. If I heard correctly, 25,000 homes have been done so far this year. Is this correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Retrofitting Schemes: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (11 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: ...him letting me come back in. Apologies, I had to attend another meeting. Earlier I heard the figures relating to the warmer homes scheme. They stated that 3,200 homes had been delivered so far this year, 1,300 contractors were involved with 328 to join and there were 11,300 applications with 420 in progress. If my figures are incorrect, I ask for them to be corrected. There is a...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Reform of Insurance for Thatched Heritage Buildings: Discussion (29 Sep 2022)

Cormac Devlin: ...important issues. As Deputy O'Donoghue said, this is our heritage. The witnesses may ask why a Deputy who represents Dún Laoghaire where there are no thatched roof cottages is speaking. Not too far from my constituency, in Stepaside and Enniskerry, there are thatched cottages but they are disappearing at a rate of knots. After spending so much time and money restoring a thatched...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Supply and Security: Discussion (30 Aug 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I thank the Chairman and welcome the guests. It is good to have them in again. Obviously, our discussion is far more crucial now, given the timeframe we are in. As has been said earlier, Ireland, like most of Europe, is facing a difficult winter. Energy prices, particularly of natural gas, are a multiple of previous years. Many of us in the Dáil, as the Minister will be aware, have...

Cormac Devlin: ...these weeds removed sooner than other people would want. She also mentioned Tidy Towns and residents groups requesting the same. Where that situation arises, what is the best practice learned so far? I accept these things will change. When pesticides or herbicides need to be used, how much have been used so far, by way of granting?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Empowering Local Government and Local Communities to Climate Action: Discussion (24 May 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I thank the Cathaoirleach and welcome our guests. It has been a good engagement thus far. There have certainly been many good answers coming back from the officials. I begin with the various schemes outlined in the opening statement. It is useful to hear how certain schemes are progressing. I caution against the use of acronyms because while I am aware that there are many schemes, we...

Financial Resolution: Excise (9 Mar 2022)

Cormac Devlin: ...constructive measure by this Government to assist those struggling individuals, households and businesses at this difficult time. Everyone is affected, not least those on low income and social welfare.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (8 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: ...this country. The budget's increases in the fuel allowance were welcome, as are plans to give householders €113 credit against their electricity bills. However, these measures will only go so far. We know that inflation is likely to be higher than what was anticipated at the time of the budget. Will the Taoiseach consider increasing the electricity credit beyond €113 and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Carbon Budgets: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Jan 2022)

My first question is...
