Catherine Murphy: I propose that we look for the granular detail and the kind of stuff we could have engaged with them on. I am not sure if this completely covers it. If they were before the committee again, I would have a doubt. They said at the beginning they were generally satisfied, but I was not generally satisfied, because there was another trigger to which they did not draw our attention.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Sep 2022)

Catherine Murphy: One of the Secretary Generals is due to appear before the Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach. That is fine. We should not be in a position where the secretariat have to follow up on correspondence. If this committee has written to all these bodies, some of which are Departments, we have a right to expect we will be responded to. This adds to the workload...

Financial Resolutions 2022 - Financial Resolution No. 1: Mineral Oil Tax (27 Sep 2022)

Catherine Murphy: The Minister should consider the amendment. The Social Democrats support it. The bigger energy bills become, the bigger the tax take and the bigger the VAT take. One cannot project the costs involved because we do not know the extent of the coming increases but we know they will be substantial. I addressed standing charges with the Minister at Leaders' Questions last week. It is...

Financial Resolution No. 3: Tobacco Products Tax (27 Sep 2022)
