Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 22: Courts Service (14 Nov 2019)

Imelda Munster: The Courts Service collects data on whether prosecutions were successful or unsuccessful but it would be useful to have the aforementioned information. Does the Courts Service just rely on gardaí to collect that data or is it not required to collect it? I would have thought that the recording of such information would be useful to the Courts Service in the context of improving the...

Imelda Munster: When a committee flags matters which are obvious, the response is always that they are being looking at or that work is ongoing on them. It is hard to credit this issue is still ongoing and that the different services have not got their act together. It beggars belief that a simple matter of collating data that would provide useful information and result in co-ordination between all of the...

Imelda Munster: I have a bee in my bonnet about PPPs. Will Ms Denning explain the terms of the PPPs for the new courthouses and the rationale behind them? The same applies to the HSE in the case of primary care centres. Where is the risk for the State in building much-needed courthouses as part of PPPs?

Imelda Munster: Last week I raised the issue of funding for the port access northern cross route in Drogheda. The application was under appeal because the initial application for this vital piece of infrastructure, which would also free up land for housing development, had been rejected. On the very day that I raised the issue of the appeal, the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government notified...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Nov 2019)

Imelda Munster: On the geographic breakdown, the letter did not provide details of who was making claims in those areas. I know we got details for Oberstown but not for the other areas, whether it be service users, staff or whatever. I believe that was part of the request. Could we request further information on that? The letter lists the numbers but not the reasons or who made the complaints.

According to the figures, 766 people have been in direct provision or emergency accommodation for three to four years, and more than 500 for four to five years. Many of them came here looking for work and...

Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the Charities Regulatory Authority (21 Nov 2019)

Imelda Munster: Several times Ms Martin indicated that the regulator’s role is reactive and is more a case of when issues are raised. Thinking back to the Console scandal, there is nothing to say that it could not happen again in light of what Ms Martin said about sufficient powers when it comes to companies, etc. There is nothing to indicate that this could be happening now. Is that a concern?

Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the Charities Regulatory Authority (21 Nov 2019)
