Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Apr 2021) Verona Murphy: Dr. Beamish should have that. That is not a big question. Surely Dr. Beamish has that.

Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Apr 2021) Verona Murphy: I will go back Mr. Gleeson. When Dr. Beamish says "legally independent", there was a statement made this morning to the newspaper that a spokesperson for the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine said the Commission decision was an operational matter for the SFPA and that the Minister is precluded from getting involved in these matters. The SFPA has, in effect, cost us €40...

Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Apr 2021) Verona Murphy: So who made that statement? When Mr. Gleeson says they have not cost us €40 million, the report from the Commission and the report in the newspaper says that it is around the €40 million mark.

Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Apr 2021) Verona Murphy: They are going to withhold possibly €40 million. That is going to have a significant effect. It may not be a fine but if they withhold it, where is the money going to come from that that €40 million ordinarily funds?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Apr 2021) Verona Murphy: That will most likely end up again with the Commission because I believe that the legislation is not what it was purported to be on the floor of the Dáil. It is typical of what happens nowadays. I would expect that that legislation will at some point fall, as it did previously, when it is tested. However, that is not for Mr. Gleeson or me.

- Public Accounts Committee: 2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Apr 2021) Verona Murphy: So, basically, we are almost back to square one. I will quote from paragraph 5.1, under conclusions, on page 44 of the 2018 audit report. It is the third last paragraph. It states: "Due to a lack of resources dedicated to control Ireland only met one of eight benchmarks to fully inspect landings of bulk pelagic species in 2017 which undermines the ability to ensure an effective control...

Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Apr 2021) Verona Murphy: I will make the point about the Department investing money because it is my time. This is the Committee of the Public Accounts and we are here to make sure that there is value for money for the public coffers. When Mr. Gleeson says the Department has invested significant money in the SFPA, I appreciate that is what he thinks. However, from the public purse perspective, what we expect is a...

- Mental Health Surge Capacity: Motion [Private Members] (21 Apr 2021)
Verona Murphy: I thank Sinn Féin for bringing forward the motion, which I will support as well as our amendment, tabled by the Regional Group. I wish I could say I welcome the fact I am going to speak on mental health for the tenth time in my 14-month political career.
