200. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance the number of meetings he or officials from his Department have held with companies (details supplied) regarding the fraudulent content with respect to financial fraud and scams on their platforms in each of the years 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. [53852/23]
View answerRecords indicate that there were several meetings during the period with the entities referred to by the Deputy. One of these was with my predecessor and the rest were with Department officials. The topics of the meetings included the EU Cybersecurity Act and International and EU tax developments and not the issue raised by the deputy.
201. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform if he will provide an updated timeline for the production of the draft National Development Plan; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53523/23]
View answerThe National Development Plan 2021 – 2030 (NDP) published in October 2021 provides a detailed and positive vision for Ireland over the next 10 years, and delivers total public investment of €165 billion over the period 2021-2030. This remains the overarching policy document for the priorities to be delivered in the 2021 to 2030 period.
From that total investment, between 2021 and 2023 almost €33 billion in core capital funding has been made available from the Exchequer for investment in public capital projects. As Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform, I am responsible for setting the overall capital allocations across Departments. My Ministerial colleagues in Government are responsible for the delivery of the NDP projects that fall under their remit.
In terms of reviewing priorities and the capacity to deliver the NDP, an independent evaluation of investment priorities and capacity of the National Development Plan (NDP) was commissioned by my Department earlier this year. This work has been conducted by the ESRI, and my Department has recently received the final draft. The evaluation focuses on the capacity to deliver current Government priorities, to utilise sectoral capital allocations and estimates the impact of components of the NDP on key economic indicators. It is expected that the report will be published shortly.
Following the publication of this report, my Department will consider the process to underpin sectoral NDP allocations out to 2028. My Department will engage with Departments in 2024 in relation to their broad objectives for delivery of priority projects and programmes out to 2028, in line with the overall NDP framework.
202. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform to provide a breakdown of the full cost involved in connecting newly built modular homes (details supplied) to services such as electricity, lighting, sewage and water; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53687/23]
View answerIn 2022, the OPW was asked by Government to develop a pilot programme of an initial 500 rapid build homes on behalf of the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY). That number was subsequently increased to 700 late last year.
The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (DHLGH) was asked to assist in identifying sites that might be suitable by seeking information from public authorities on potential sites in their ownership.
The OPW had already begun liaising with the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) relating to the possible use of modular housing units to provide durable accommodation solutions. Those discussions considered the potential capacity of the modular manufacturing industry in Ireland to produce a product at scale and to the appropriate standard.
In conjunction with the CIF and the modular manufacturing industry, the OPW developed an exemplar design and specification to ensure Building Regulation compliance. The modular prototype that was designed is a highly energy efficient durable single storey unit (with a useful life of 60 years). The units would be fully fitted out and transported onto sites around the country.
The OPW undertook an accelerated procurement procedure to select a main contractor to carry out site enabling works and arrange for the manufacture, transportation and installation of modular units. A contract with John Sisk & Son was awarded in August 2022. Sisk then engaged with a range of modular manufacturers an established a framework of 5 suppliers.
A number of interrelated activities took place simultaneously relating to:
• Sites selection via the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage;
• Engagement with site owners;
• Finalising the work programme with the main contractor to manage the enabling works on sites, the acquisition of modular units and their transportation and installation; and
• There has also been considerable positive collaboration with utility bodies on those aspects of the site development.
The connection costs associated with electricity, lighting, sewage and water at the site in question to the utility companies are as follows, Uisce Éireann at €181,216.00 and ESB Networks at €35,415.20 (exclusive of VAT).
203. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform the number of full-time heating and ventilating engineers employed by the OPW in 2021, 2022 and to date in 2023, in tabular form; and if this number will be further increased during 2024. [53232/23]
View answerOPW does not employ Heating and Ventilating Engineers, however does employ Mechanical and Electrical Engineers. The number of M&E Engineers that may be employed in 2024 will depend on a range of factors, including turnover in the relevant grades, the available budget for recruitment and progress with the delivery of the projects and programmes that these grades are involved in.

204. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform in relation to the recently published "Supplementary Estimates for the Public Service" if he will explain why an estimated €3.4 billion extra is required for the public service; if he will provide a breakdown of the areas that this money is required for; if he will acknowledge that spending controls within the relevant services were not adhered; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53392/23]
View answerManaging expenditure within the voted allocations included in the annual Revised Estimates is a key responsibility of every Department and Minister. Monitoring of spending against profile and of progress on programmes and projects by each accounting officer is well established within each Department. The Fiscal Monitor is published each month by the Department of Finance setting out expenditure trends. My Department is in regular contact with all Departments regarding actual and projected spending, including areas where there may be cost overruns and offsetting savings that might be available for reallocation.Where any savings identified are not sufficient to cover the cost of additional demands within a Vote, a Supplementary Estimate may be required to provide the additional funds.
In any year, in-year developments may arise which require additional funding through supplementary estimates. In 2023 31 Supplementary Estimates were required, 8 of which were technical in nature (allowing use of additional Appropriations in Aid to fund spending or redistribute savings within a vote). These Estimates represent an additional €6 billion expenditure in gross terms or €5.5 billion in net.
The high level of supplementary estimates required arises due to in-year developments, the majority of which relate to external challenges for which non-core expenditure has been allocated. €4 billion of these estimates relate to non-core expenditure including Ukraine supports (€1.3 billion), Covid (€0.04 billion), BAR (€0.2 billion) and Cost of Living (€2.1 billion) measures. The remaining €2 billion relates to core expenditure pressures with additional demand in certain sectors.
This additional funding demonstrates the responsive actions taken by Government throughout 2023 to provide additional Cost of Living measures in the face of continued elevated inflation levels. This funding also recognises the additional demand facing public services particularly in the health and education which continue to operate in a post-pandemic environment of increased demand and complexity.
205. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform if he is aware of the issue surrounding the retirement of prison officers and Garda officers who are on a post-April 1995 pension, who are required to sign up for job seekers benefit for nine months following retirement from their respective services to receive their supplementary pension; if he plans to amends this so these workers receive their supplementary pension immediately when they retire; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53407/23]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, I have overall policy responsibility in relation to public service occupational pension schemes payable to retired public servants.
For all new entrants to the public service (including members of An Garda Síochána and the Irish Prison Service) on or after 6 April 1995 (the date of introduction of full social insurance for public servants who now pay Class A PRSI) and before 1 January 2013 (the date of introduction of the Single Public Service Pensions Scheme) pension payment comprises of three components:
1. A Public Service Occupational Pension payable by the public service employer;
2. Social Insurance benefit(s) payable, subject to eligibility, by the Department of Social Protection (DSP) and;
3. Where the Social Insurance benefit payable does not equate to the full rate of State Pension Contributory (SPC), an occupational supplementary pension may be payable by the public service employer subject to an individual meeting eligibility criteria.
An occupational supplementary pension seeks to make up the difference between the occupational pension which would have been payable had that pension not been integrated, and the occupational pension in payment when combined with any Social Insurance Benefits in payment. The payment of an occupational supplementary pension is not automatic and is subject to an individual meeting the following criteria:
• The retired public servant is not in paid employment;
• The retired public servant, due to no fault of their own, fails to qualify for Social Insurance benefit(s) or qualifies for a benefit at less that the value of the SPC; and
• The retired public servant must have reached minimum pension age or retired on grounds of ill-health.
The second condition is important to ensure no duplication of payments from public funds. To verify this condition, prior to payment of the Occupational Supplementary Pension, a retired public servant must engage with the DSP and obtain proof that they have exhausted any relevant benefits for which they may be eligible under the social insurance system. The rules surrounding qualifying for a Social Insurance benefit are a matter for the DSP.
My Department is aware that there are some issues concerning the procedures for qualifying for the payment of an Occupational Supplementary Pension and we are liaising with the DSP and other key stakeholders to review the processes involved and establish if a more efficient and streamlined approach is possible.
206. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform if his Department operates an X account (formerly Twitter) or any other social media account, and if such accounts are verified through a subscription fee; the policy in place that guides when any of these accounts can ‘like’, endorse or support a posting on X or other social media platforms; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53660/23]
View answerThe Press Office in my department is responsible for the management of departmental social media accounts on the following platforms:
• X
• YouTube
• Instagram (not currently active)
My department does not pay a subscription fee for any of these platforms. There is a departmental social media policy in place that is currently being reviewed. The current policy does not address ‘liking’ by departmental accounts.
207. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform how much his Department has spent on advertising on a website (details supplied) for each of the years 2019 to 2022 and to date 2023, in tabular form; and whether his Department will still run advertisements on the platform going forward due to issues. [53805/23]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that no money was spent on advertising on the website in question by my Department from 2019 to date. The Department keeps the suitability of any platform it uses for advertising under ongoing review.
208. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform if he will provide a schedule of all OPW-owned properties and lands in Wicklow; if he will indicate the status of the building and lands in that it is in use, vacant and leased by a third party. [53830/23]
View answerThe following schedule identifies OPW-owned properties and lands in Wicklow. Many properties are Garda stations with or without associated accommodation which are actively in use or not yet deemed surplus to the requirements of An Garda Siochana, with the exception of the former Garda station in Hollywood. Kilmacurragh House and Arboretum are part-owned by the Commissioners of Public Works and part-owned by the Minister for Housing, Local Government & Heritage and are included in the schedule. Details in relation to another small number of properties are being verified and, once completed, this additional information will be provided to the Deputy.

209. Deputy Ruairí Ó Murchú asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform if previous experience in the North’s civil service is taken as relevant experience by the State’s civil service when it comes to deciding where to place a new hire from the North’s civil service on the pay scale here; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53892/23]
View answerSubject to the provisions of relevant policies, prior experience working in the public service of other European Union Member states is treated in the same manner as prior experience working in the Irish public service for the purposes of determining starting pay in the Irish civil service.
Following the UK's decision to leave the EU, previous service in the UK public service continues to be treated in the same manner as other EU Member States.
This position is consistent with section 8 of the Memorandum of Understanding between the UK and Irish Governments concerning the Common Travel Area and associated reciprocal rights and privileges, attached for information.
Accordingly, previous experience in the Northern Ireland Civil Service may be reckonable under the following policies overseen by my Department;
• Circular 08/2019 provides that appointees to the civil service who are moving from posts elsewhere in the public service to what is deemed to be an analogous grade and pay scale may be appointed at the current point of scale.
• Circular 21/2004, 16/2005 and 40/2007 provides for incremental credit for previous service for the grades of Clerical Officer, Executive Officer and a number of specific entry level grades. The relevant circulars are attached for the Deputy's information.
It is a matter for the recruiting Department/Office to satisfy itself that either analogous or incremental grades conditions exist.
210. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform to provide a full update on the delivery of the CFRAM scheme for County Louth and east Meath further to the most recent flooding events in the area; the current timelines for the delivery of the projects; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53896/23]
View answerTo deliver the proposed measures set out in the Flood Risk Management Plans for County Louth, Louth County Council, working with the Office of Public Works (OPW), has agreed to be the Lead Authority in the delivery of flood relief schemes at Dundalk/Blackrock South, Drogheda, Carlingford/Greenore, Baltray and Ardee, all of which are in the first tranche of projects being progressed. The funding for these schemes has been allocated under the €1.3bn investment in flood relief under the National Development Plan to 2030.
The development and progression of flood relief schemes is overseen by project Steering Groups with representatives, meeting typically monthly, from the OPW and Louth County Council and the consultant engineers. Delivering a flood relief scheme involves five distinct, sequential and related stages. Aligned to the decision gateways of the Public Spending Code these are assessing the flood risk and identifying options; seeking planning consent, detailed design, construction and maintenance. Public consultation forms part of each stage and project websites, available on floodinfo.ie provides updates on each scheme’s progress.
The Dundalk/Blackrock South and Ardee projects are being progressed simultaneously and engineering and environmental consultants were appointed in 2020. The proposed scheme will protect some 1,880 properties when completed. The scheme option for Dundalk/Blackrock South is expected in Q3 2024 and Ardee is currently at options review.
Consultants for the Drogheda and Baltray flood relief schemes were appointed in September 2021. The proposed scheme will protect some 454 properties when completed. The scheme option is expected in Q4 2024.
The OPW established a working group on Carlingford and Greenore that is focused on ensuring that all approaches for implementation are considered from a technical perspective and to propose the best method to proceed. OPW met with Louth County Council engineers on 9th October 2023 to review the work completed to date and to plan for the project going forward. This included scoping requirements and data collection. I visited Louth following the recent flooding events and saw at first hand the devastation that flooding caused in this area. Drone footage was captured and surveying of the impacted area arranged. The OPW met with Louth County Council in November to assess the flood mechanisms and damages from the event and work is continuing on the flood event report, surveys and scoping for the proposed flood relief scheme. Further meetings are scheduled in December 2023 and January 2024 between Louth County Council and the OPW to progress the project.
While the Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management Programme investigated possible structural flood relief measures for both Annagassan and Termonfeckin, economically viable schemes for these communities were not identified. The OPW is reviewing the flood risk in these communities.
The OPW since 2009, has approved €1.9m for 32 local flood projects under the OPW's Minor Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal Protection Scheme to Louth County Council.
In east Meath, the Mornington Flood Relief Scheme (FRS), consented to under the Arterial Drainage Acts, 1945 and 1995, was substantially completed in 2013, providing protection to 162 properties. This flood relief scheme has a design standard of 0.5% AEP coastal event and 1% AEP fluvial flood event. The OPW directly managed the construction and funded the development of the flood defences. The Mornington FRS is maintained annually by the OPW East Region Drainage Maintenance Section. Maintenance involves silt and vegetation removal from circa 3km of channel, and vegetation management on circa 5km of embankment. Maintenance in generally carried out in Q4 of each year.
The Catchment Flood Risk Management Programme (CFRAM) proposed a further flood relief scheme for Mornington to augment the existing scheme. The proposed further measures for Mornington that may be implemented after project-level assessment and planning or exhibition and confirmation may include physical works such as a series of hard defences (flood embankments and walls). These works would complement the existing flood scheme already completed. The hard defences would protect to the 1% AEP fluvial flood event and to the 0.5% AEP coastal flood event.
There is currently a group in place with representatives from the OPW and Meath County Council to progress the development of further works for the Mornington/Bettystown area. There are a number of projects in this area that are currently being considered in addition to the CFRAM proposals and the group is assessing the best approach to delivering these projects. This includes the installation of a permanent pumping station in the Dunes Estate, flood defences in the Villages and a culvert upgrade required for the Northlands Flood Relief Scheme. It is intended that the pumping station and culvert upgrade will be completed next year, the appropriate planning and design development route for the other works is currently under consideration.
211. Deputy Seán Canney asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to outline the supports that are available to employees who are owed wages from their employer who has closed his business. [53209/23]
View answerIreland has a robust suite of employment rights legislation in place to protect and support workers.
Statutory and contractual employment terms apply in relation to the payment of wages. Failure to pay all or part of the wages due to an employee is considered an unlawful deduction and a complaint can be made under the Payment of Wages Act, 1991.
The Payment of Wages Act 1991 establishes a range of rights for all employees in relation to payment of wages. The Act regulates how wages and salaries are paid and what deductions may be made from same. Under this Act, an employer is not permitted to make deductions from an employee's wages unless the deduction is authorised under the contract of employment, required by statute, or is made with the prior written consent of the employee.
If an employee believes that their employer has made an unlawful deduction from their pay, then they may refer a complaint to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC).
It is unclear from the question whether the company is insolvent or has gone into liquidation but either way, the employees are entitled to pursue a claim for non-payment of wages either from the employer or the liquidator as the case may be.
It is the employer’s responsibility in the first instance to pay statutory redundancy to eligible workers. If employers are genuinely unable to pay redundancy due to financial difficulties or insolvency, the State provides a safety net and may make the statutory redundancy payments on the employer’s behalf from the Social Insurance Fund through the Redundancy Payments Scheme. The scheme is administered by the Department of Social Protection.
The Insolvency Payments Scheme is to protect certain outstanding pay-related entitlements due to employees in the event their employer becomes legally insolvent. Employees may claim, through an employer representative, such as the official liquidator, various outstanding debts including arrears of wages, holiday pay, statutory minimum notice. Payments are made from the Social Insurance Fund and the scheme is administered by the Department of Social Protection. The arrears of wages, holiday pay and minimum notice payable under the scheme are subject to a ceiling of €600 per week and are limited to 8 weeks.
212. Deputy Jennifer Murnane O'Connor asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the status of an application from Carlow County Council for an enterprise campus in Carlow town (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53211/23]
View answerIn 2022, Carlow Community Enterprise Centres CLG secured €72,422 in funding through my Department’s Regional Enterprise Innovation Scoping Scheme (REISS). This funding was earmarked for the formulation of a business plan and design master plan for the enterprise campus situated on O'Brien Road, Carlow.
I have been advised by Enterprise Ireland, which administers the REISS on behalf of my Department, that these plans were finalised in late 2023, and active engagement has commenced with Enterprise Ireland’s Southeast Regional team to compile a comprehensive application for consideration under the new Smart Regions Enterprise Innovation Scheme, which I recently announced.
There is €35 million available under the first call of the new Scheme, which is co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The Scheme will support local infrastructure projects, innovative clusters and consortia, services to SMEs to drive innovative solutions and feasibility and priming grants for early-stage project development.
Enterprise Ireland has advised me that Carlow Community Enterprise Centre is expected to submit a formal application for funding under the new Scheme in Q1 2024 following their successful completion of the REISS Priming funded activity.
