- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion (16 Dec 2020)
Verona Murphy: As politicians, we should all be very concerned about the cost of this for the consumer. If there is no Brexit fund or PSO, the cost of moving from the land bridge to a direct service will be very great. Nobody had discussed that yet but is Mr. Drennan concerned that, if Government does not put such measures in place, there will be a slight decrease in the amount of products being carried...

- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)
Verona Murphy: Ms Downes has discussed how staff were trained and so on to deal with survivors. I find it incredible that in the response to the email that was sent to Caranua, not one thing was addressed in it. The particular line states: "All of your needs have now been met with regards to Caranua and your application is complete".
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Verona Murphy: I want to know how that callousness was the response given to someone who is telling Caranua clearly that they were opposed to bathroom tiles that reminded them of where they were abused. The answer states: "All your needs have now been met with regards to Caranua and your application is complete." Does that sound as if it addresses the survivor's needs?
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)
Verona Murphy: That is a "Yes" or "No" answer. Does she believe on a humane level that that answer has addressed the needs of the survivor?
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)
Verona Murphy: I am very sorry but there are plenty of other facts. It is very obvious to anybody on this committee, in terms of what is detailed in the email sent to Caranua, that the person received that type of response. They are the facts. The line states: "All your needs have now been met with regards to Caranua and your application is complete." That person will live with the abuse for the rest of...
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)
Verona Murphy: The Chairman should be aware that there is no more to the case. The fact is that it is outlined in an email to Ms Downes and that is the address given. I want to ask Ms Downes about administration costs because the level of compensation that person was looking for is much less than what Ms Downes seems to have spent. When she announced the wind-down of Caranua in 2018, there was...
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)
