Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Verona Murphy: It was left to the school to sort out and source another provider. Another provider has come in but for how long I do not know. Ultimately, these services just do not pay any more.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Verona Murphy: It is not just that they do not pay. The other issue is that providers have great difficulty in recruiting staff because they cannot pay them enough. The staff they are recruiting are at a level when they are not taken on as full-time employees. They have no pension entitlements. They could get a job in Tesco, for example, that would serve them better in every regard. This is where we...

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Verona Murphy: We will come back but this is very important. As the Committee of Public Accounts, our first requirement is to ensure value for money. How does Mr. McCarthy ascertain the figures he provides for international protection accommodation? How does the Department come by figures for much a bed night costs? How is that ascertained?

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Verona Murphy: No, I do not have time. I just want to ask how it is ascertained. For instance, when it comes to a nursing home we have figures of roughly €900 per room per week. This is the HSE figure, give or take a couple of bob. What model is this based on?

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Verona Murphy: That is fine. I want to ask about Baggot Street hospital and the particular reasoning behind not having it offered while we have asylum seekers sleeping in tents. It is deplorable that we make such a meal out of this. We have a perfectly good building that could accommodate hundreds of applicants but we have them in tents and we are fighting over rural accommodation all over the country...

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Verona Murphy: It was favourable not to spend any money on the hospital, where beds accommodated people up to the early 1990s.
