Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (2 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: This is about the fifth time I have brought this issue up. I am back to the passport and ID issue of members of the Garda identifying that they sign the passport application. I am back to the parent of a first-time applicant. The Passport Office is unable to get in touch with the garda who signed the application. The office has contacted the same Garda station four times. Surely at this...

Verona Murphy: What is the security dimension? Why would they contact a garda?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: I have a quick question that may or may not be pertinent. Perhaps somebody could come back to me on it. A constituent made a complaint to me when it was announced on Monday, 29 April that the No. 370 Bus Éireann service from Rosslare Europort to Waterford is to be updated. The update leaves Bridgetown without a service. Is that relevant at all to anyone here?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: This is pertinent to what another committee member said. It is about having a service that works for the people. My constituent believes that the NTA is behind this change and is trying to say there is a great Local Link service, which I do not disagree with. Locals will have to catch the No. 370 bus from Wellington Bridge. The drive from Wellington Bridge to Bridgetown lasts...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: The change has not been made yet.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: That is fine. I thank Mr. Ryan. I will go back to various decisions that have been made. The crossover between Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, and the NTA can be confusing. Mr. Ryan or Mr. Creegan and I had a conversation yesterday about freight trains, passenger rail and one thing and another. Apart from the fact that it often appears that these are desktop exercises, when some...

Verona Murphy: The question is are they ever presented to either NewERA or the NTMA before money changes hands, as they say.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: Is there input whereby it carries out a report or is it just a perusal?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: Is anything provided in writing?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: So there is something in writing.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: If the Committee of Public Accounts were to look for those documents, are they available?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Transport Authority (2 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: That is grand. I thank Mr. Doocey. I will have a look at that again and might come back to the committee. A proposal was presented to allow for a change to the train service with a stop in Wicklow on the Wexford to Dublin route. There would be a change in Wicklow, at which point the service would join the DART service. I did some analysis of my own. I was informed yesterday that the...
