Chapter 7 - Management of Overtime Expenditure in An Garda Síochána (9 May 2019)

Catherine Murphy: I hope Kildare is included. The aim is to grow the force to 15,000 members by 2021. There are retirements, as well as the intake, to take into account. It is easy to see the intake, but from the outside it is not as easy to evaluate the level of retirements. Is the 15,000 figure achievable? Is the overtime bill likely to go down if the numbers come up?

Catherine Murphy: I am aware of that, but those figures are from a low base. I have the figures for nearly every year. It is much appreciated that we end up with additional gardaí. I do not want to be overly parochial, but Kildare is significantly behind other areas with similar populations. County Meath lags even further behind and the numbers are moving backwards as the population is growing. It is...

Catherine Murphy: There is a new electronic tracking system for the storage of property taken into the possession of the Garda, which is very good. Are there liabilities as a consequence of what happened prior to the introduction of the new tracking system?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 May 2019)

Catherine Murphy: I raise an issue in respect of the local government funding baseline review commenced last year. My understanding is this review has reported but the report has not been published. Will the Taoiseach confirm if this report has been received and say when it will be published? Areas have been frozen in time for the last 20 years in respect of population. No account whatsoever has been taken...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 May 2019)

Catherine Murphy: We had a list of topics for that particular day and the national broadband plan was included on it, although we almost could not discuss it. Mr. Watt was quite cross with us.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 May 2019)

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 May 2019)

Catherine Murphy: I have many of the same points, but I think it is important to reiterate them. I asked whether the same personnel were involved, and we know now that some of them were. Are we seriously being asked to accept that people were going to be asked, essentially, to disagree with themselves? That is what this is, and it is nonsense. Deputy MacSharry made the point that the thought process in...
