- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Apr 2023)
Verona Murphy: The children's disability network team, CDNT, in my home town of New Ross, County Wexford, is like most other CDNTs in the country and is simply not fit for purpose. Currently, 258 children are assigned to the CDNT in New Ross, all of whom require some level of therapeutic input. Many of them are waiting for more than one intervention. The CDNT in New Ross has no senior social worker, no...

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (30 Mar 2023) Verona Murphy: I thank the witnesses for coming in. I think Ms Hurley is probably the first female Secretary General to appear before the committee, so well done on that. I can see a significant difference - albeit I may be biased, being a female - in the presentation. I am delighted with that. I go back to what we started with in relation to Mayo County Council. It is positive, from my perspective...

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (30 Mar 2023) Verona Murphy: Given that there are standards in public office, this clearly was a breach of ethics or standards. Have we gone beyond making a complaint in this regard? I understand why it did not go to An Garda Síochána because there was no loss of Exchequer funding but the transaction itself or the behaviour probably warranted a complaint to SIPO.

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (30 Mar 2023) Verona Murphy: I appreciate that and I do not want Ms Hurley to repeat herself. I commend her and I hear what she is saying. From an accountability perspective, preventative measures are probably easier to enforce if there has been a repercussion and accountability. With regard to making a complaint to SIPO, I ask that Ms Hurley look at the time limit to see whether it has passed. If the Department is...

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (30 Mar 2023) Verona Murphy: Does Ms Hurley think that going forward it probably should be? The Standards In Public Office Commission is something that we should use as a measure of the persons or particular standards being accounted for, particularly at county council level given the level of funding that is attributed to them.

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (30 Mar 2023) Verona Murphy: Unless we start to have regard to SIPO's findings, it is pointless. If there are findings but no adverse repercussions, or no repercussion at all, it is a rather pointless system. We certainly need to overhaul the entire system. To come back to the point I was making, Ms Hurley said there was funding of €180 million for the current LEADER programme. My understanding is the...

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (30 Mar 2023) Verona Murphy: Would it be fair to say that if the same €50,000 is allocated to every proposal, it would go a lot further in a local authority that has already completed this process than it would for a body making a new expression of interest?

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (30 Mar 2023) Verona Murphy: Ms Hurley has misunderstood my question. A council would have so much experience in making expressions of interest that the €50,000 would not go as far for a new entity. What I mean is that it is probably not a fair competition in that the county council has been there before and has all the experience. I am not sure that all the proposals needed to go to phase 2. Will Ms Hurley...

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (30 Mar 2023) Verona Murphy: I suppose strictly speaking we would be better cutting out the middleman, which is the local authorities. They already administer large funds. From my perspective, particularly with regard to Wexford, I can see where we have a very efficient local development group and there should not be a penny wasted. It is perfectly capable of administrating it. I would like it to be a consideration...

How does Wexford perform on applications for the RRDF in comparison with other counties? Does the Department do analysis on a county-by-county basis?
