- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)

Verona Murphy: That was one error. There was an accumulation of errors that make IFI look like a basket case. For a start, there were uninsured vehicles, which I, as someone who operated as a haulier for years, find incredible, to be honest. It is a jailable offence. The other thing is the leasing of the cottage. Was Mr. O'Donnell aware of that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: I know. Would Mr. O'Donnell take responsibility that there was a comedy of errors within IFI?

Verona Murphy: Mr. O'Donnell would be happy that there is nobody claiming travel subsistence within the organisation but would have use of a fuel card categorically.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: Inland Fisheries Ireland (6 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: Mr. O'Donnell would have already stated to employees that should not happen, given his own brush with subsistence and repaying money. There would probably have been a sit-down with everybody to say that IFI needs to have the height of good governance and conduct.

Verona Murphy: Some eight months ago, in November, a freak tornado swept through south County Wexford, in particular in areas like Clongeen and Foulkesmill, leaving a trail of pure and utter devastation. To date, the people affected by this event have been lied to by local Fianna Fáil councillors, continually fobbed off and passed from one Minister to the next with no sight of any meaningful...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Control of Firearms (5 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: I am sorry but the Minister of State has failed to address any of the questions contained within.
