Chapter 8 - Contract payments in respect of Convention Centre Dublin (15 Dec 2022) Catherine Murphy: Mr. Buckley also needs to talk to us about the numbers and how those have changed since 2015. The figures given previously need to be checked when that table is being given because in the case of Military Road the figure keeps moving and reducing. It is causing confusion more than anything else. I want to know the totality of the cost of accommodation and whether the building is deemed to...

Chapter 8 - Contract payments in respect of Convention Centre Dublin (15 Dec 2022) Catherine Murphy: To go back to the convention centre, there were dividends to shareholders of €40 million between 2020 and 2021. Bonuses were paid, although I am not sure if that was to all eight or only some of the directors. Presumably the witnesses were aware of the impairment in the 2021 statements in relation to the PPP contract. What will their approach be when looking at the dividends and the...

Chapter 8 - Contract payments in respect of Convention Centre Dublin (15 Dec 2022) Catherine Murphy: The OPW has taken a view, the company has taken a view and then the Department has taken a view. Is the Department's view an undermining of the OPW's?

Chapter 8 - Contract payments in respect of Convention Centre Dublin (15 Dec 2022) Catherine Murphy: I just get the impression - it is not just the OPW - that if this related to somebody who made an error with overpayment of a social welfare payment, there would be an entirely different culture in dealing with that than there is when dealing with forceful entities that have legal people to advise them. There is a different culture with that treatment.

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 Dec 2022)
Catherine Murphy: This dates from 24 November and I refer to point 10. I ask to be kept informed on this matter. Am I looking at the same one? No, I am not looking at the same piece of correspondence.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 Dec 2022)
Catherine Murphy: I will refer very briefly to point 10 in that correspondence, as I would like the committee to be kept informed. One issue that arose during the year was the number of funded posts and the level of recruitment that happened against that. It fell considerably short of the number of posts which were funded. Point 10 is a case in point and is one which I raised with the HSE. This had to do...

Catherine Murphy: I have specific point to make before I comment on a similar point to the one the Chair has raised. The Olympic ticketing issue seems like a small one for the commission of investigation to investigate. I suggest that we ask for a full schedule of that, because I would like to look at it in slightly more detail. On the question of how we do business in this country, other jurisdictions...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 Dec 2022)
Catherine Murphy: We could say that there is a desire on behalf of the Committee of Public Accounts for a collective approach to be taken and for some lessons to be learned from this.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 Dec 2022)
Catherine Murphy: We have to remember that quite a sizeable amount of money has been spent on facilities there in advance of the hospital breaking ground. We were also told that we need to learn lessons from previous or current developments, but we have only been looking at the national children's hospital. It would be very difficult to learn lessons from that because I do not know how long it will be before...
