Comptroller and Auditor General Section 2 Report on Unauthorised release of funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer (Resumed) (20 Apr 2023)

Verona Murphy: I appreciate that. However, it took a long time to review the loan-to-income ratios. It appears that people are being given conflicting messages. Mr. Makhlouf understands what I am saying from a layperson's perspective. The Central Bank increased the ratio when people had less ability to pay. Previously, they could have possibly acquired mortgages when their ability to repay was greater...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Apr 2023)

Verona Murphy: Overcrowding at Wexford General Hospital during the final months of 2022 and early this year meant that the hospital was completely overrun. The people of County Wexford were asked on several occasions to avoid attending the emergency department unless it was a life-or-death situation. Some patients who presented at the emergency department waited up to 30 hours if a bed was required....

Public Accounts Committee: An Bord Pleanála - Financial Statements 2021 (27 Apr 2023)

Verona Murphy: Ms Buckley is a breath of fresh air. Unlike most other Secretary Generals or chief executives in that position she has not come in here having only taking up the position in January and said "oh I cannot answer that because I have only taken up the position". She has been very forthright and I thank her for that. I have some questions on which I would like to elaborate. Ms Buckley said...

Public Accounts Committee: An Bord Pleanála - Financial Statements 2021 (27 Apr 2023)

Verona Murphy: I am not sure that they did allow for any material contravention. We have many laws that say they did not. That is primary to where I am looking and much of the litigation. The question I am now asking is, how are we going to prevent this type of litigation, where inspectors, where the report is upheld, are not au faitwith the hierarchy.

Public Accounts Committee: An Bord Pleanála - Financial Statements 2021 (27 Apr 2023)

Verona Murphy: I have a concern when Ms Buckley says that An Bord Pleanála is going to engage with the OPR. Prior to the finalisation of Wexford's new county development plan, I engaged with the OPR. In that case, he told me that in legislation there was a minimum density requirement of 35 dwellings per hectare. There is not, is there? This is something Ms Buckley would want to consider because if...

Public Accounts Committee: An Bord Pleanála - Financial Statements 2021 (27 Apr 2023)

Verona Murphy: In that case, if that exists, I want Ms Buckley to tell me where, please.

Public Accounts Committee: An Bord Pleanála - Financial Statements 2021 (27 Apr 2023)

Verona Murphy: To whom was that, Mr. Hogan?

Public Accounts Committee: An Bord Pleanála - Financial Statements 2021 (27 Apr 2023)

Verona Murphy: It did not point us to where it was in that, if I recall correctly. Mr. Hogan was not able to tell me what paragraph, in which SPPR. It did not identify where the minimum requirement-----

Public Accounts Committee: An Bord Pleanála - Financial Statements 2021 (27 Apr 2023)

Verona Murphy: I thank Mr. Hogan. I have heard all that before. In what has just been read out by Mr. Hogan, there is no mention of minimum density. I ask Ms Buckley to submit to the committee something on that. It is a particular issue that we now see is contentious around the whole country with the development of county development plans. Not only that, it is the subject of many of our judicial...

Public Accounts Committee: An Bord Pleanála - Financial Statements 2021 (27 Apr 2023)

Verona Murphy: Would Ms Buckley agree that planning policy is the reason we have such poor delivery of housing?

Public Accounts Committee: An Bord Pleanála - Financial Statements 2021 (27 Apr 2023)

Verona Murphy: Ms Buckley can agree, because the evidence is there, that many of the reviews that were traditionally successful were successful because of the densities being applied. Is that not correct?

Public Accounts Committee: An Bord Pleanála - Financial Statements 2021 (27 Apr 2023)

Verona Murphy: I was hoping we were not going to get to that.
