Verona Murphy: Is it fair to say that although it is only one case, it is approximately one quarter of the outstanding revenue, if not one fifth? What is the value of the outstanding 12 legacy cases?

Verona Murphy: Ms Maney highlighted that the Covid pandemic has had an effect. To what extent has it led to other backlogs in appeals?

Verona Murphy: As Ms Maney said, it has affected everyone. I assume Ms Maney's brief as chairperson of the Tax Appeals Commission is not one whereby she can work from home. Are there people working from home?

Verona Murphy: My last question relates to the fact that dealing with the Tax Appeals Commission is stressful for all manner of reasons. I am sorry if I am doubling up, but there have been cases involving a delay in determinations. What process has the commission put in place to ensure that the time taken to issue a determination after an appeal is reduced? In light of Covid one can imagine, through no...

Verona Murphy: I thank Ms Maney and her staff. I am a new member of the committee, but I must emphasise that in my time on this committee I have never seen such comprehensive coverage by any Department. I commend Ms Maney on that. We have rarely, if ever, seen all of the Comptroller and Auditor General's recommendations brought on board within such a short space of time, in this case a year. Sometimes...

Verona Murphy: I am not really looking for the statistics. Rather than seeing anybody being disenfranchised and having to go down the road of judicial review, I am trying to establish and understand whether there should be a briefing on what constitutes the commission's decision not to accept an appeal. If the case is not accepted because it concerns how someone has been treated and is not monetary in...

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (Resumed) (13 Jul 2021)

Verona Murphy: I thank to the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board representatives for appearing today. I am not in line with Deputy Carroll MacNeill's questioning simply because, as Mr. Gunning said, his focus is to deliver the hospital. My focus as a member of the Committee of Public Accounts and as an elected representative is to try to make sense of it from the perspective of the public...

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (Resumed) (13 Jul 2021)

Verona Murphy: The question I asked Mr. Gunning was about the reasoning behind it. The difference is that there are no competitors. This is about public information, accountability and transparency for the spending of public moneys. As Mr. Gunning is going to persist in not giving me an answer, I will not persist in asking him on that basis but I believe there is an absolute obfuscation in respect of the...
