Chapter 5 - Expenditure on Night Vision Imaging Technology and Training for Search and Rescue
Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Verona Murphy: I thank the witnesses for coming in. As they know, this is the Committee of Public Accounts. It is all about value for money for us. I want to point out to Mr. Spratt that I sat in on a meeting of the Committee on Transport and Communications for my colleague last week. Representatives from TII and the NTA were before the committee. I suggested to Nigel O'Neill of TII that there is an...

Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Verona Murphy: That is fine. Is the current funding provided on an annual basis? If the planning is granted for the runway extension and the airport is closed, what supports would be put in place to ensure the Coast Guard service is maintained?

Special Report 113 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Procurement of Vehicles by the Irish Coast Guard (11 Nov 2021) Verona Murphy: Therein lies the problem. This is a serious issue. I say to the Secretary General that this is a problem that is affecting the entire country. By the time planning is granted by An Bord Pleanála - it is probably the second application in this case - Mr. Spratt as Secretary General is going to faff around and decide whether to give the funding, to the point where we have to go back and...

Verona Murphy: 664. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 392 of 4 November 2021, the number of the 27 ecologists who signed off on the 56 Coillte felling licences in question; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55621/21]

Verona Murphy: This is the fourth time that I have raised the need for a whole-time equivalent dietician to be allocated to County Wexford since December 2020. The current allocation is a 0.5 whole-time equivalent, but there is a concerning exponential rise in the diagnosis of anorexia in the teenage population. It is fundamental to managing mental health that the clinical staffing requirement is matched...

Chapter 6 - Covid-19 Restart Grant Schemes (18 Nov 2021) Verona Murphy: I welcome Dr. Quinn. On the aspect of microfinance there was a review of the Microfinance Ireland, MFI, loans between 2012 and 2021. Only 45 of those businesses availed of the second loan, to the tune of €56 million. A portion of the firms were recorded as having no employees. It seems that category reflected what were 770 firms that had ceased trading. When did they cease...

Chapter 6 - Covid-19 Restart Grant Schemes (18 Nov 2021) Verona Murphy: Okay. It is just to have an overview and an understanding of it. Another issue, which probably is not to do with the accounts, relates to page 23 of the Department's Covid-19 and Brexit planning document, specifically the permits section of the Department and delivering employment permits. I understand the Department concentrated on the health sector, which I very much appreciate, and any...

Does her Department find that difficult?

Chapter 6 - Covid-19 Restart Grant Schemes (18 Nov 2021) Verona Murphy: Spain, Italy and Portugal, for instance, have recognised the driving licence for drivers from Ukraine. We have an EU driving licence system, yet we cannot seem to get the RSA to make a move on that. What I have been hearing from colleagues, Deputies and people within the sector is that the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment has no difficulty granting the permits; the difficulty...
