The first thing is to immediately draft an offshore renewable action plan and to draw up a strategy to ensure that all...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Flood Risk Management (8 Dec 2021)

Verona Murphy: I thank the Minister of State. As she will appreciate, most of what she has told me I already know and the people already know. The question that people are asking is as follows. Why is it taking so long? The reality is that 236 properties are affected. All of the stakeholders that were engaged in the discussion, such as Irish Rail and property owners, are all aware. They are all in...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Flood Risk Management (8 Dec 2021)

Verona Murphy: I thank the Minister of State for coming in this morning. I know she has a very busy portfolio and this is not her domain. Like my colleagues, Deputies Cairns and Christopher O'Sullivan, I will take up the offer to meet the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan. The Enniscorthy flood defence scheme is a project which has been kicked down the road far too many times in the past ten or 15...

Chapter 13 - Revenue's Management of Suspicious Transactions Reports (2 Dec 2021)

Verona Murphy: Good morning to the witnesses. Some of them will know me from the customs consultative committee in a previous life. I have a specific question, which follows on from Deputy Colm Burke's question. Deputy Burke was asking about second-hand vehicles which were brought in at the start of Brexit, to Southern ports. Those vehicles had to be cleared. Customs requested certain documents to...

Chapter 13 - Revenue's Management of Suspicious Transactions Reports (2 Dec 2021)

Verona Murphy: As Mr. Harrahill knows, I was very involved in the Brexit process. The difficulty is that, on occasions, it took days for cars in Dublin Port and in other ports to be cleared, while producing the documents required. Revenue had days initially. It gave the go-ahead. What concerns me about regulatory agencies such as Revenue making mistakes is that there is now an outstanding amount of...

Verona Murphy: It subsequently seems to have turned out that an awful lot of them were incorrect. Revenue cannot just say, 20 years later, that a car was cleared by Revenue but that it has now discovered that people cannot produce certain documents. I will take that up again. I ask Mr. Harrahill to answer the question about Rosslare. Does Revenue own the facility or has it purchased it?

Verona Murphy: On understanding that the facility was going to be based outside of the Rosslare Europort, it crossed nobody's mind to ask whether this was allowable, permissible or should be continued with. Mr. Cody is nodding his head. Did Mr. Cody look into that?

Chapter 13 - Revenue's Management of Suspicious Transactions Reports (2 Dec 2021)

Verona Murphy: I appreciate that. Why is the facility temporary? Why can it not be continued? Can we not apply for a derogation? The outlay for the State agencies is €11 million of taxpayers' money for a state-of-the-art facility and staff are in the lap of luxury. Why do we feel the need to utilise space, that is very much space we do not have in the port facility, when we could easily apply...
