Catherine Connolly: They are all in hand.

Public Accounts Committee: Garda Internal Audit Report on ICT Directorate Payments Process (31 May 2018)

Catherine Connolly: I have one final question. I went back and it seems very clear from the Policing Authority that the reliance on outside staff is a danger and a conflict for the governance issue. It needs to be dealt with. I welcome the clarity of what was said. Concern on the spend on ICT was referred to and that we thought some of it could have been done by skilled professionals hired directly by the...

Public Accounts Committee: Garda Internal Audit Report on ICT Directorate Payments Process (31 May 2018)

Catherine Connolly: Every week we get reassurances Mr. Nugent. I am never reassured by assurances. I am reassured by seeing the actual machinery working on the ground. Here it did not. It was the contrary. Reasons have been given as to why but what I am more interested in the timing around the gaps. The witness has said that by the end of the year the staff will be in place and there will be less reliance...

Public Accounts Committee: Garda Internal Audit Report on ICT Directorate Payments Process (31 May 2018)

Catherine Connolly: I will finish on this. If we return to the main company in question, Accenture, how did that contract run on each year without documentary evidence? My colleague already asked about this and I did not hear a clear answer.

Public Accounts Committee: Garda Internal Audit Report on ICT Directorate Payments Process (31 May 2018)

Catherine Connolly: My question was awful simple. How was the contract rolled over without documentary evidence that the witness can refer us to? On what basis was it rolled over? Was it a phone call or a chat?

Public Accounts Committee: Garda Internal Audit Report on ICT Directorate Payments Process (31 May 2018)

Catherine Connolly: Would a business case be made out each year for the roll-over of that project? It was a sizeable amount of money. Would there be a business case to say that it needed to be rolled out for that year and outlining the reasons?

Catherine Connolly: Is that not the most basic thing?

Public Accounts Committee: Garda Internal Audit Report on ICT Directorate Payments Process (31 May 2018)

Catherine Connolly: When the witness said he was caught, I have seen it in other organisations, but there would have to be a business case or some type of case to explain the reason it was being rolled over. It could have said at the same time that it was not believed that this was the right thing to do, it was a difficult situation, it would be raised with the Minister but it would be done for that year. It...

Order of Business (12 Jun 2018)

Catherine Connolly: Tá an Straitéis 20 bliain don Ghaeilge agus an plean gníomhaíochta atá geallta ardaithe go mion minic agam agus cúpla seachtain ó shin thug an tAire Stáit a bhriathar go mbeidh an plean sin os comhair an Cabinet inniu. Seo lá na cinniúna. Cá bhfuil an plean gníomhaíochta? Táimid leath bealaigh tríd bliain na Gaeilge...

Catherine Connolly: Tá mé tuirseach traochta ag ardú na ceiste seo. Tá cúrsaí sábháilteachta agus sláinte i gceist. Táimid ag caint faoi phíosa bóthair nach bhfuil rófhada, agus a cheanglaíonn An Cheathrú Rua leis an R374, a théann siar go dtí na hoileáin. Is é an chéad rud atáimid ag iarraidh a chur os...

Topical Issue Debate: Road Improvement Schemes (12 Jun 2018)

Catherine Connolly: I dtús báire ba mhaith liom a rá gur maslach é freagra a thabhairt i mBéarla. Seo Bliain na Gaeilge. Mar Chathaoirleach Chomhchoiste na Gaeilge, na Gaeltachta agus na nOileán, cuireann sé isteach go mór orm go bhfuil an freagra i mBéarla. Sin rud amháin. Araon le mo chomhghleacaí, fáiltím roimh an dá alt deireanach....

Death of Shane O'Farrell: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jun 2018)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the Minister's statement that he is open to an inquiry and to further steps being taken. I have a son who is celebrating his results from Trinity College today. I mentioned him on the previous occasion. He will not be too happy with me but he has a similar background to the young boy who died, so it is particularly painful. I have taken the trouble to read the Garda...
