Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: General Scheme of the Criminal Law and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Discussion (30 Sep 2025)

Anne Rabbitte: We are just talking in the hypothetical. I am talking about if I was the victim and I went and got therapy or counselling, and confided. Trauma can start at any stage. It might have been rooted in trauma from the past and may not just be present trauma. There could be childhood trauma there that is now contained in my counselling notes that are now subject to consideration of whether they...

Anne Rabbitte: I am not asking her to do so.

Anne Rabbitte: I do not expect her to.

Anne Rabbitte: As a female - I do not doubt it would be the same for males - I would be totally uncomfortable. Like the Cathaoirleach, I would not have ever known this was a thing. It is unbelievable.

Anne Rabbitte: My question relates to the comment that over 1,000 people were released after 24 hours and there possibly could be repeats. Has the Courts Service or the Prison Service ever looked at assistive technology to support people who have trauma? I touched on trauma earlier on. For a lot of repeat offenders it all started with childhood trauma.

Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development: Special Reports and Reviews on Social Protection and Rural Development Issues: European Court of Auditors (1 Oct 2025)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the witnesses for the presentation and their time this morning. Mr. Murphy is not a politician, but when we politicians hear that money is unspent our ears perk up. We wonder what is happening to the money that is unspent and might be sitting there. Could it be repurposed? Is it ringfenced to ensure that it can be spent on what it was designated for? Will it eventually get drawn...

Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development: Special Reports and Reviews on Social Protection and Rural Development Issues: European Court of Auditors (1 Oct 2025)

Anne Rabbitte: That is what I was going to say.

Anne Rabbitte: My line of questioning relates to funding that would have been promised but could not be accessed because of the time of Covid and everything like that. The cost of delivery has gone up because of the cost of building. I assume the states have to go back in to reapply or redesign the application sent in. It just keeps going and going, and we never get to the end piece. One of our greatest...

Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development: Special Reports and Reviews on Social Protection and Rural Development Issues: European Court of Auditors (1 Oct 2025)

Anne Rabbitte: You would need a degree to fill out some of the European grant application forms. To be honest, it is not comparing apples with apples when we look at the various organisations. It is okay for organisations that have a paid board, and a designated project manager who can spend their time chasing the grants and filling out the forms, and is educated on the point of compliance required. This...

Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development: Special Reports and Reviews on Social Protection and Rural Development Issues: European Court of Auditors (1 Oct 2025)

Anne Rabbitte: This is an interesting point. I apologise for interrupting Mr. Murphy. When the European Court of Auditors does an audit summary I have no doubt it sees some states that go the extra mile. Are we in this bracket?

Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development: Special Reports and Reviews on Social Protection and Rural Development Issues: European Court of Auditors (1 Oct 2025)

Anne Rabbitte: I totally understand. Do we have figures on what is unspent or not claimed?

Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development: Special Reports and Reviews on Social Protection and Rural Development Issues: European Court of Auditors (1 Oct 2025)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank Mr. Murphy.

Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development: Special Reports and Reviews on Social Protection and Rural Development Issues: European Court of Auditors (1 Oct 2025)

Anne Rabbitte: My colleague Deputy Guirke and the Cathaoirleach asked about a particular matter. People are anxious about whether LEADER funding will be cut further. It has been cut not in successive CAPs at this stage. We talk about cohesion, integration and different regions. LEADER plays a very valuable role in that regard. I am not stating that the CAP should be maintained in its entirety. From an...

Anne Rabbitte: That is right.

Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development: Special Reports and Reviews on Social Protection and Rural Development Issues: European Court of Auditors (1 Oct 2025)

Anne Rabbitte: Some of our colleagues have left because the transport committee is meeting next door. Roads are a big issue in this country, as, no doubt, Mr. Murphy knows. As an auditor, Mr. Murphy observes. He sees trends and he sees what is spent and what is not spent. I have no doubt he looks at value for money as well. If we go back to the previous CAP, the focus was climate. We were meant to...

Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development: Special Reports and Reviews on Social Protection and Rural Development Issues: European Court of Auditors (1 Oct 2025)

Anne Rabbitte: Exactly. I have a group coming in later today to discuss TAMS. We cannot get one line into our local TAMS piece. That is us spending our own money. There is a lot of money for climate in the agriculture pot which, I reckon, will not be spent because our messaging might not have been great.

Anne Rabbitte: All right.
