- Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority - Financial Statement 2011 (24 Jan 2013)
Eoghan Murphy: When it comes to sitting down and agreeing the contract, is it largely up to the landlords in terms of what they can fix the lease at? What is the break clause position for us, if necessary?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority - Financial Statement 2011 (24 Jan 2013)
Eoghan Murphy: If the landlords increase the lease costs on the NTA, then we are stuck with it. Is that correct?

- Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority - Financial Statement 2011 (24 Jan 2013)

- Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority - Financial Statement 2011 (24 Jan 2013)
Eoghan Murphy: Would Mr. Murphy mind looking into it? I am interested in establishing how that lease came to be negotiated, why that particular building was chosen, why that particular rent was set and the various details, if they are available.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority - Financial Statement 2011 (24 Jan 2013)
Eoghan Murphy: Given the extent of the liability, it would be good to know how we got ourselves in this position. I realise circumstances have changed since the lease was negotiated in the first instance, but it may be worth looking back to see how it occurred. It could be helpful.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority - Financial Statement 2011 (24 Jan 2013)
Eoghan Murphy: Prior to the Taxi Regulator joining the NTA, that operation was essentially self-funded through taxi licensing. Was that the case?

Eoghan Murphy: Is the authority only dipping into the taxi element of the surplus?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority - Financial Statement 2011 (24 Jan 2013)
Eoghan Murphy: Who decides the extent to which the authority will dip into the surplus, whether it is €2.9 million or €3.5 million?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority - Financial Statement 2011 (24 Jan 2013)
Eoghan Murphy: If the authority made a projection for the year but towards the end of the year it realised a shortfall was coming through, does it then decide to dip into the surplus?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority - Financial Statement 2011 (24 Jan 2013)
Eoghan Murphy: Is that the only safety net the authority has?
