Vote 41 - Policing Authority (7 Apr 2022)

Catherine Murphy: Ms Hall expects then more work to be done in the not-too-distant future, hopefully. We will take a note of that point in respect of the legislation because we are likely to be making a report on this and that kind of detail is of value. On the legislation, we have seen at the committee over the years mergers and amalgamations and very often systems do not talk to each other. Mergers are...

Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 41 - Policing Authority (7 Apr 2022)

Catherine Murphy: This is a left field question in a small way, but in the anti-corruption, I am quite critical of how fragmented it has been over the years where, for example, white-collar crime has not been treated as seriously as it requires to be. We have the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, ODCE, for example, which will become new agency, the Corporate Enforcement Authority, CEA. There...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Apr 2022)

Catherine Murphy: The question many people around the country are asking currently is who is running the country. Is it the Taoiseach's Government or the permanent government? We know the Secretary General of the Department of Health, Robert Watt, is in a rarefied position, not least because his pay grade is above the Taoiseach's. Does that mean he can snub or thumb his nose at attending Oireachtas...

As it stands, the judicial appointments system is wide open to cronyism and political interference. It is an unaccountable...
