- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)
Catherine Murphy: I want to come in on it and reinforce the point. It is very unsatisfactory that this is still going on. I echo the points made about the person taking the case. He is trying to achieve exactly the same thing we would want to achieve by having the kind of oversight which has been suggested. It is unusual for the Department of Finance to be the supervisor in a liquidation. Notwithstanding...

Catherine Murphy: What is the monetary value of the 71% yet to be realised, referred to on the first page of the report?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)
Catherine Murphy: That is generally welcome because there is a consequence. We will not change behaviour unless there are consequences, and the public element was part of ensuring there would be a consequence. We saw it with the HSE when certain amounts were not paid, or they were paid in retrospect if they were in compliance. In fact, it changed behaviour markedly. It might be worth at some point...

Catherine Murphy: Only in the last week there was a report on just how difficult it is to get services and it was stark stuff. Wherever we send the correspondence we should write to the Minister as well.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)
Catherine Murphy: There are two elements to it. One is the fact that Enet was awarded the contract in 2004 and the contract was then extended until 2030 without going back to the market with a tender. Much of what has gone on in relation to the issue is opaque and requires scrutiny. In mid-2017 the infrastructural investment fund invested €200 million in Enet. To be honest, I find that curious given...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)
Catherine Murphy: Yes, because it is the kind of thing one could predict in the future would require an additional spend. That additional spend could very well be by way of another inquiry or a tribunal. This is highly unsatisfactory and it is something we must look at.

Catherine Murphy: I have a question on No. 1526, which is from Mr. Ray Mitchell, director of the Health Service Executive. I sought a copy of the Hannaway report but we were provided with slides rather than a report. If the slides exist, are we sure that the report does not exist?
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Oct 2018)
Catherine Murphy: Last week at the Committee of Public Accounts I raised the issue of the national broadband plan. There are now significant concerns as to how the process to date has been managed, whether the awarding of the contract, if we get to that stage, will have been done in the best manner possible and whether the State will get the best possible deal. We know there will have been no competitive...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Oct 2018)
Catherine Murphy: There were a number of questions to which the Taoiseach did not respond. I echo his remarks about the need for the national broadband plan. I do not think anyone wants anything other than for the plan to work, but the process has to be robust. I received a reply to a parliamentary question I tabled last November about the procurement process. It stated the process was still competitive...
