Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Jul 2021)

Catherine Murphy: The key issue here is that we had all read the same information the same way. The correspondence is at odds with our interpretation. This is a big industry and we all appreciate the importance of making sure the industry is not damaged. That is what necessitates CCTV. I am pleased that the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine is dealing with the matter. The important thing...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Jul 2021)

Catherine Murphy: It is a question of keeping this very much on the agenda. It is regrettable we do not have an update.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Jul 2021)

Catherine Murphy: I want to raise several issues. Obviously, I would have been involved in the very detailed hearings in regard to Templemore going back to 2017, and I think the Committee of Public Accounts did a lot of very good work on that. Once an area ends up being the responsibility of a criminal investigation, obviously the role of the Committee of Public Accounts ends until that is concluded. We all...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Jul 2021)

Catherine Murphy: I completely accept this is very detailed correspondence but the Committee of Public Accounts is not a disinterested party. A very sizeable amount of work was put into this.
