Catherine Murphy: The heads of the communications (retention of data) Bill were approved in 2015 and received pre-legislative scrutiny in 2017. In 2018, I twice asked the Minister, Deputy Flanagan, and the Garda Commissioner about this Bill and I was informed that it had yet to be considered by the Department of Justice and Equality. The 2011 Act requires significant amending following the Graham Dwyer case...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Minority Sports and Women's Participation in Sport: Discussion. (11 Dec 2019)

Catherine Murphy: The witnesses are very welcome. I had some conversations with some of them in advance of the meeting. It is to be hoped they will have continued success. I do not think they put down that they won team of the year at the sports awards last year as well, which was another achievement. I thank them for the opening statement. There are things about the organisation that I had not realised,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Minority Sports and Women's Participation in Sport: Discussion. (11 Dec 2019)

Catherine Murphy: I have a very similar point to make on the sports capital grants. Clubs tend to make the grant applications and they provide matching funding. They are looking at it from their own sports' perspective. I am not sure if they would all give consideration to the wider aspect. For example, in many cases all-weather pitches provide the income that keep clubs going. If they understood the...

Leaders' Questions (17 Dec 2019)

Catherine Murphy: We are now one decade on since the financial crash and one of the key questions at the time was where were the auditors and where were their warnings. It strikes me that the same question can be applied now in the context of the FAI and the scandal around its debts. Deloitte was its external auditor for 23 years. One of the points of having an external auditor is to have independent eyes...

Leaders' Questions (17 Dec 2019)

Catherine Murphy: I agree on the need to appoint those independent board members and chairperson. As new appointees, they will need to be given a chance. They are in a very difficult situation. The introduction of a rotation of audit should not be exclusive to sport. It is good practice. It will not be unique to sports that there are failings by virtue of the fact that there is too much familiarity. A...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Naval Service Vessels (17 Dec 2019)

Catherine Murphy: It first struck me that it was thought the sum the vessel was sold for was modest, and there was a question at the time as to whether it represented good value for money. The major concern now relates to what it is being used for and how it was subsequently sold for multiples of the earlier price. It was recommissioned and is now part of a conflict. Are there any trailing obligations? How...
