- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: An Garda Síochána (20 Jun 2024)
Catherine Murphy: I was referring to the newspaper article written by John Mooney in The Sunday Times last weekend. There have been follow-up articles as well.

Financial Statements 2022: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (20 Jun 2024) Catherine Murphy: I welcome the witnesses. I remember the last day they appeared before the committee.

What checks does the Department do in relation to people who would run a facility like that?
