Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Garda College (30 Mar 2017)

Catherine Murphy: I raise the issue of the internal audit at Templemore on 9 February. The Tánaiste's reply to me on that day was very dismissive. She told me that it had received full scrutiny at the justice committee. I pursued it and found that that did not happen. I was then told that it had been referred to the Committee of Public Accounts. I was the one who wrote to the Committee of Public...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Garda College (30 Mar 2017)

Catherine Murphy: That falls far short of what I was told here with regard to it having had full scrutiny; it had not. The issues include 50 bank accounts; €125,000 collected from the leasing of farmland by the Office of Public Works that went into the restaurant account; and €400,000 transferred from the bar to keep the restaurant running. We have a right to expect higher standards of the...

Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
UCC: Financial Statements 2013-2014 (30 Mar 2017)

Catherine Murphy: I might not need to take the ten minutes. Mr. Collins has described the difference between the foundation and the trust and how the money can be used. Regarding the income for both, he said that some people who donate money to both will more or less say where the money should be directed. What proportion of the income coming into both the foundation and trust would be directed where the...

Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
UCC: Financial Statements 2013-2014 (30 Mar 2017)

Catherine Murphy: I should have been more specific. I am referring to money that supports students. Are there particular faculties that would be supported? Does the source of the income that comes into the foundation have an influence on the direction of the university or the primacy of one faculty over another? Is there any influence or how does the university maintain a balance?

Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts

Catherine Murphy: Obviously, the association of the IMI with the college and the accreditation that comes with it helps with a potential increase in the valuation.

Report of the Committee of Public Accounts re National Asset Management Agency’s sale of Project Eagle: Motion (29 Mar 2017)

Catherine Murphy: This debate was originally scheduled to take place last Thursday but because the Committee of Public Accounts meets on a Thursday, it was requested that it would meet on Wednesday. The reason this debate did not happen last Thursday was that the Minister would not be here. It is interesting that we have scheduled a debate to accommodate the Minister and he has stayed for a very short period...

Report of the Committee of Public Accounts re National Asset Management Agency’s sale of Project Eagle: Motion (29 Mar 2017)

Catherine Murphy: That is hugely disrespectful and I want to note that. On the numerous occasions I have heard the Minister, Deputy Noonan, speak about the oversight of NAMA, and I have asked questions also, we have been assured on every single occasion that the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General was embedded in NAMA. In fact, he gave the impression that it had a supervisory role. The...
