- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Network: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (24 Jan 2018)
Catherine Murphy: In terms of TII's funding, obviously there is motor tax revenue, which I believe goes initially to the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Network: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (24 Jan 2018)
Catherine Murphy: To come back to the condition survey and the secondary roads, from my experience there is quite a lot of bogland in Kildare. Good roads on bogland can be difficult, and a different approach was taken in the way the foundation was laid that resulted in a better long-term outcome. In terms of road improvement, are there measures that could be taken in the way the foundations are laid that...
- Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: EU Bodies (25 Jan 2018)
Catherine Murphy: 50. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the way in which a person was selected as a nominee for appointment to the expert group set up by the director general of the European Commission's Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology to advise the European Commission on the spread of false information across traditional and social media; and if he will...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 Jan 2018)
Catherine Murphy: Is the commission examining other cases?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 Jan 2018)
Catherine Murphy: Two similar cases were identified in the correspondence.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 Jan 2018)
Catherine Murphy: One of our concerns related to how the report was processed, the relationship between the Health Service Executive and Deloitte and whether the report was influenced by engagements between the HSE and Deloitte or was genuinely independent. According to the correspondence, a request was made to tone down certain aspects of the report. The purpose of commissioning an independent report is to...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 Jan 2018)
Catherine Murphy: My concern is whether the report fully reflects the position. While I will not discuss in detail individual items of correspondence, one of them indicates there are two similar cases in litigation. As we discussed last week, the HSE is moving towards an open disclosure approach. I do not know if this issue falls into that category. It is frustrating that money that could be spent on...

Catherine Murphy: The reference for the correspondence in question is PAC 32R 986.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 Jan 2018)
Catherine Murphy: I agree with Deputy Cullinane's comments about the response the committee received, especially from the Department in question. The education sector requires significant investment. This is a potential source of investment. These universities and institutes of technology are a research and development tool but there is a cost to that research and development, in the same way there is a...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 Jan 2018)
Catherine Murphy: I remember having an engagement with the guy from the HEA on whether it was likely that third level institutions would go on the national balance sheet. He said it had been looked at several times, that it had not happened to date and that, from memory - I could be wrong - there was not an expectation that it would happen. If it does, it obviously brings into sharp focus the very first item...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme (25 Jan 2018) Catherine Murphy: The witnesses are very welcome. It strikes me that Richard Griffith did a fantastic job in being able to value every house, every piece of farmland and every business in 12 years between 1848 and 1860. I might be slightly wrong on that. What a remarkable job to do setting out on a horse, and here we are using valuations from 1988. It seems extraordinary, and that was an original valuation...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme (25 Jan 2018) Catherine Murphy: We are looking at value for money. What we do not want is the benefit to go to out-of-town multiples that have free car parking, for example. That could undermine or reduce the income that might come to a local authority from a vibrant town centre. I question the methodology. We often hear people saying it is almost a disadvantage to upgrade a premises. Presumably that is something the...
