Vote 26 - Office of Minister for Education (16 May 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: ...do not want to go into because the school has other issues as well. The officials think that the only way they are going to be able to secure a school hall is by pairing with a local GAA club and applying for sports capital grants. It seems crazy that Government funding is there but they are now going to have to engage with an outside entity that will give control over elements of the...

Paul McAuliffe: ...for a caretaker for €8,300, €7,800, €1,800, €8,500 and €10,000. None of those schools will be able to secure a full-time caretaker for that figure. There is a problem in the way we have applied the reduction to the ancillary grant. That is my first comment. It feeds in then to my second comment. All the schools I talk about are large schools that...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (7 Mar 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: When a development is close to other developments, a planner will often apply a stepping-up or stepping-down principle to try to match adjoining building heights or to ensure that there is consistency. I am hearing two different perspectives. Is there anything in what is proposed in the Bill that would prevent a planner from making a decision when it comes to stepping up or stepping down?

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Special Educational Needs (22 Feb 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: ...another had one child with complex needs, regardless of their profile data the school with ten children with complex needs would need more SET hours. I cannot understand how the Department will apply the criteria based on the individual needs of the child. I can understand that when a formula is applied across the board, it is about distributing hours, but it is not about focusing on...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Social Welfare Payments (20 Feb 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: On the basis of what she has just said to the House, I encourage the Minister to work with her Government colleagues on this issue, in particular for those people who applied for the carer's allowance several years ago, or up to a decade ago in some cases. Over that time, that person's partner may have had an increase in salary. Many of those people do not understand that it is a...

Vote 9 - Office of the Revenue Commissioners
Account of the Receipt of the Revenue of the State collected by the Revenue Commissioners 2022

Chapter 20 - Assessment and Collection of Local Property Tax
Chapter 21 - Revenues Tax Debt Warehousing Scheme
Chapter 22 - Corporation Tax Losses (25 Jan 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: It is therefore the case that 60,000 homes across the country are not paying the LPT, are not engaging with the Revenue Commissioners in any way, have not applied for a deferral and there is no interaction between them and there is no interaction between them. What is the length of time for how the Revenue Commissioners would pursue that? Do they have a policy of allowing it to accrue and...

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (22 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: .... I want to start by welcoming the Minister's decision to extend the renters tax credit to parents who pay for student rental accommodation, or "digs" as it is often called. I know this will apply for the assessment years 2024 and 2025, and retrospectively for 2022 and 2023. That is a really important decision because it was an element of renters that was not dealt with and I welcome...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (16 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I also think 20% is a very high threshold. It does not apply in Dublin but if those numbers were applied there, for example, I cannot even imagine how you would spearhead a campaign. The turnout in local elections in some parts of Dublin might not break 40% and the Minister of State is talking about generating a figure half of that for a petition. It essentially puts a threshold that is...

Paul McAuliffe: ...McNamara's benefit, there was some discussion about this during pre-legislative scrutiny and, actually, our concern was about the title. We felt that maybe the term "deputy mayor" should have been applied and would be more easily understood. There was a very clear understanding during the discussion that, for the sake of the chamber and the members in the chamber, one would not want the...

Paul McAuliffe: ...because we do want to strengthen it, but I have a view on chairing a JPC - I have done it myself and I am not sure how much power I had. I fear that it would limit that transition, and the same applies to the minimum wage. I have concerns over the amendment for that reason.

Paul McAuliffe: ...bodies providing housing and they had more discretion to take it outside the scheme of lettings, those AHB developments were often used for these more sensitive cases where discretion could be applied, although we are in a changed landscape compared with where we were ten years ago, when local authorities had that power. As for the discretion of housing officers, they have a greater...
