- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Jan 2021)
Verona Murphy: I concur with the comments of Deputies Catherine Murphy and Carthy. Again, I stress this is about the process going forward and as this is the Committee of Public Accounts, I feel it should be for our committee. I read the same article that Deputy Murphy referenced. It is important this is looked at and, not to prolong matters, I concur with what has been said.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Jan 2021)
Verona Murphy: Yes. Essentially, this follows on from quite a lengthy inquiry carried out by the previous Committee for Public Accounts. There were two strands to that. The aspect the previous committee looked at was related to the Garda College. The bank accounts and the Cabra account would have been linked to that. The work in this regard was done in a timely and effective way. Some significant...

- Covid-19 (Mental Health): Statements (4 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: I will ask questions but the answers may be given in writing. Today, I want to start by wishing a very special young boy named Gavin from County Wexford a happy 18th birthday. I hope that he, his dad, two brothers and sister have a lovely celebration, not just because it is his 18 birthday but because he almost did not make it as he has mental health problems. I congratulate his dad and...
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: I welcome everybody and thank them for the presentation so far. I have some questions that follow on from what my colleagues have already asked. I find it incredible that the witnesses would say they are between two to four weeks from presenting a report to the Government on this issue. All that can be left to do is to type it up, yet they cannot give us a figure and are saying it would be...

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: No. What is important is what I have to say and the question I want answered.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: What I am saying is that if somebody got it that wrong, how can we trust that the figures for the public coffers that are going to be delivered in two to four weeks' time, in respect of which I would imagine that all that is left to do is type the report, are in any way accurate?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: At 4%.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: And we did not have anybody with actuarial experience to come in on that. I will move on because I need quick answers. In the board's statement, it was said recovery in respect of inflation exceeding 4% is allowable on a contract. Why was it exceeded?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: I thank Mr. Gunning. We are still accounting for the problems that we incurred in 2014. Every way we have to wait to see what construction inflation is so the 4% is possibly only the bare minimum.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: That is great. I thank Mr. Gunning. The other question I have goes back to the claims. We have had 466 claims dealt with so we have just over one-third of claims left. Mr. Gunning is telling us it cost €230 million to deal with two-thirds of the claims. If the expected reserved estimate is €300 million, it means there is €70 million left to deal with one-third of...

Verona Murphy: Could Mr. Gunning explain it to me?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
