Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) Catherine Murphy: What about the priority list? I remain unhappy with this because any contract is a two-way thing. This sends a terrible message to anyone engaging with the State in a contract - that they can push it as far as they can. The contractor could have had people on other sites rather than on this site so as to progress them in time because he was dealing with the private sector as opposed to the...

Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) Catherine Murphy: Could Mr. Watt provide the priority list of the capital projects? Some of them will be delayed at the very least as a consequence of the cost overrun. Could he provide us with the information on how that will impact on the list of priority projects?

Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) Catherine Murphy: But if there is a certain amount of money and then there are overruns – it is clear there will be a huge overrun in relation to this hospital – that has impacts on other projects. I am looking for the priority list to be provided and if we can see the likely impact on it.

Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) Catherine Murphy: Could I also just make it clear that the question I would like a response to in regard to the local drugs and alcohol task forces is whether the funding provides them with an annual budget. How did the HSE determine how much each CHO area received? Dublin's north and the south inner city, which are part of CHO 7 and CHO 9, respectively, are fairly similar to other big CHO areas yet we are...

Catherine Murphy: I raised some issues during the meeting earlier.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (1 Feb 2024)
Catherine Murphy: There are several issues I want to raise on this. One of these is the midterm review of the National Development Plan 2021-2030. Can we go back to the Department and ask how far advanced the review is? Can we have a date for when it expects to have it completed? I ask because one of the projects is DART+ West, which goes as far as 300 m from the railway station in Kilcock. To get it from...

Catherine Murphy: We have had a number of them in Kildare. Some were successfully delivered and held up when they were under pressure with severe rain. I am familiar with the cost-benefit analysis that goes along with that. Sometimes these processes are about managing expectations and filtering money as it is available. In addition to asking about specific schemes, it might be worth asking how many are at...

Catherine Murphy: A flood in somebody's home is every bit as bad as a fire and sometimes worse.

Catherine Murphy: The schemes that have been carried out in my constituency impacted big centres of population. We are talking about towns here. I cannot commend highly enough the work that was done by the local authority in bringing the schemes to a point where it was almost designing the solution. Then the cost-benefit analysis is looked at in terms of prioritisation. Every time there is a big flood and...

Catherine Murphy: In addition to the people the Cathaoirleach talked about, and I agree with those, we need to think out who it is we need to have in. It is important to note that both reports we are discussing were commissioned by RTÉ, some on foot of the engagement they had with this committee. Certainly, some of the transcripts of the committee's proceedings are included in the McCann FitzGerald...

Catherine Murphy: Okay. Is Anne O'Leary on the list? We have heard about the so-called combo meeting of the audit and risk committee, the board and a programme sub-committee. We particularly need to hear from the audit and risk committee and the people from the board who were hand-picked.

Catherine Murphy: Yes. It would be important to invite the former chair of the board, Moya Doherty. I remember raising this point when the show was under way and I looked for a business case because it was jaw-dropping stuff. We all know how big the convention centre is. All of us remember every seat in the convention centre. One would never want to be at a committee or Dáil meeting there ever again....
