Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: The rental sector is a huge sector now and this system has to work. I presume there was a loss of €1.7 million because it had to be repaid.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Is it the case that they had the potential to earn that, but did not because the system was not in place?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: I suggest that we put the RTB on our list. We do not know how long this Dáil is going to run for, but that case jumps out at me. I have two more issues to raise concerning the National Transport Authority. There was a cost overrun of €40 million or 27% for the national train control centre, which I think is in Heuston Station.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Is that not complete?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: We should at least write to them about the controls that are in place. The sum of €40 million is an estimated increase.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: We must write to them and get an overview of exactly what is happening there. That is again a stand-out case.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Yes. It is huge.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Yes, one more about the HSE. I am looking at the €1.37 million paid in respect of the loss of private income. That is four OPW bike sheds. It is astonishing that compensation is paid for the loss of private work, presumably in a public hospital. I expect most committee members would say that alone is a reason the HSE should come in here at the earliest possible opportunity. The...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: We must get as much information as possible.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: I just noted in my inbox, and I am sure all members probably got one, an invitation to visit the national children's hospital. I want to visit when it is finished. I do not need to see a construction site. I want to see children in beds in the hospital. This letter is dated 18 July. I do not understand why the sanction was not used earlier, to be perfectly honest. There has been a...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: My interpretation is that some countries have been deemed safe but that there are occasional exceptions within them.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: I do not think that is difficult to figure out. There are regions within countries that are deemed safe that the Department of Foreign Affairs advises people not to go to.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Neither have I.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: What number was it?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Many problems have arisen.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: When we are dealing with the OPW, will we flag that we also want to raise issues in regard to the National Concert Hall and the children's science museum?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: I think that is for the Department of agriculture.

Companies (Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Regulatory Provisions) Bill 2024: Second Stage (25 Sep 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Speaking broadly about the intentions of the Bill, we will be supporting the legislation. It contains some logical and practical provisions. Some Covid-19 legacy legislation is hanging around the House and we see another piece here, addressing the issue, for example, of remote meetings, which can be an option on a permanent basis in the right set of circumstances. The framework that...
