Capital Supply Service and Purpose Report Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-29
============================================================

Matt Shanahan (IND), Waterford

I welcome the support of the House in progressing this Bill towards becoming law. As I have said, Private Members' Bills can be killed off quietly as they proceed. I hope that in not opposing this Bill, the Government will see that it is substantially accepted because there is a major problem with transparency over public capital investment - not fixing a known and urgent problem. With projected capital spending of €165 billion, it would be a disgrace if this Bill were not to pass.
I thank all of those in the Chamber who contributed. I hope they will continue supporting this Bill to see it enacted into law.
