...scheduled care. That is a big problem. Some of the things we have already discussed potentially address that in refocusing towards primary care. At the moment, however, we have seen up to a 15% increase in referral from primary care to some specialties since January. We have seen a 5% increase in referrals from community to emergency departments in the current year. To some extent it...

Gabrielle McFadden: ...has not been ideal. I am not comfortable with anything I have heard so far, and that is why I am asking the question.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Role and Functions of NAMA: Discussion (24 Oct 2012)

Mr. Brendan McDonagh: I would love to say we would get the €50 million back. If we acquired the property for €20 million and its value increased to €50 million, we would clearly have an unsustainable property bubble of the kind that led to the problem in the first instance. That would not be a good result. From our perspective, however, we would like to see...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Cybersecurity: Discussion (Resumed) (26 May 2021)

Kieran O'Donnell: ...a witness before the committee yesterday. He said that he measured Ireland versus the UK spending in cybersecurity per capita. Mr. Larkin expected that we should be spending in the order of €50 million per annum, but we are spending about €5 million per annum. Does the Minister of State believe that the National Cyber Security Centre is under-resourced? Does he agree with...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 35 - Army Pensions (Revised)
Vote 36 - Defence (Revised) (9 Mar 2022)

Cathal Berry: Subhead A23 refers to the European peace facility and €5 million being handed over. I was surprised by that. I could be completely wrong, but normally when money goes to Europe it comes from the Department of the Taoiseach. I seek clarification on that money having come from the defence budget. I agree that an additional €9.5 million for the European peace facility was...

Finance Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Oct 2017)

Marc MacSharry: ...comprises VAT, levies and other forms of taxation. We might have to be radical and push that VAT rate and the levies down to try to get guys building again. It is not to make all of them multimillionaires and, indeed, it is something we can revisit once things are up and running and building is taking place in the places it is required around the country. At present, we are busy...

Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018) See 3 other results from this debate

Pat Buckley: ...unit was set up to communicate with the electorate. Instead it has turned out to be a Fine Gael propaganda unit. We should call it the "huff and puff and do nothing" unit at a cost of €5 million to the taxpayer. This certainly was a mistake. They say that a bad law is an unjust law. The strategic communications unit, SCU, is unjust. The €5 million cost of the SCU could...

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 27 - International Co-operation (Supplementary) (29 Nov 2018)

Ciarán Cannon: I thank the Chairman. I could not agree more. The situation in Yemen is the world's largest humanitarian crisis with 22 million people in need. Ireland has been and remains absolutely committed to supporting the humanitarian effort in Yemen. We provided €4 million to the country-based pool for Yemen. The fund is a significant contributor to the UN's central emergency response fund...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Allied Irish Banks (21 Jun 2018)

Gerry Horkan: I will touch on the Everyday Finance portfolio of May 2018. They were the bank's customers, but the record is fairly dismal. The average balance is €1.4 million, with 800 connections and 3,700 assets, which is approximately 4.5 assets per connection. Will the delegation give us some idea of what was happening? All of these people were loaned money, there were many connections and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: 2014 Pre-Budget Briefing: Discussion with Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (2 Oct 2013)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister is going to be told that that is fixed and we cannot go for €12 million in further administrative savings, because he will probably tell me that if there is another €5 million in savings to be made, the Department of Finance will grab that and we could not use it for giving out aid for suckler cows.

Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)

Seán Fleming: I am going to give a figure. The eFlow figures on page 20 of the accounts show income of €118 million. Some €5 million is being written off so, for every 22 vehicles on the road, one gets off scot free. That is a mile different from what Mr. O'Neill said. It is a simple analysis of the figures in the accounts.
