Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tourism Industry (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: 41. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht what immediate provisions her Department is taking to support tourism businesses which will be gravely impacted by the lack of available tourism beds for the 2023 season; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Code (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: I thank the Minister. I absolutely appreciate all of the supports that were quite necessary during Covid, and which every other country instituted in their sectors. While I appreciate that the Minister does not have the full say, certainly I hope that as the Minister with responsibility for tourism the Minister would be a great advocate to retain this rate, particularly for rural Ireland....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Code (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: It is not unrecognised that there were significant but inadequate supports for instance the temporary business energy support scheme, TBESS. I heard a quote from a colleague of mine in New Ross, who was a former colleague of the House, Mr. Seán Connick, who is the CEO of the Dunbrody Famine Ship experience in new Ross. At the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: It is somewhat hard to know where to start but I will start by welcoming everybody. I have a query. We have some change of actors from last year. We do not have the chancellor with us and we do not have the chief corporate officer. Is there any reason why they have not been brought today?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: We had the chancellor the last day. Was she invited?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: So they just are not here. I note the provost, who would not have been in any way party to previous proceedings, is here. On that, the chief corporate officer, Mr. Flaherty, was appointed without an advertising of that position. Have any further positions been appointed by Professor Mey where we have not had an advertisement process?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: I only asked were there any other appointments that were not advertised.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: I am sorry, and I do not mean to cut across Professor Mey, but I just asked a straightforward question. Were any other appointments made since her last appearance that have not been advertised or gone through the process? That is a “Yes” or “No”.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: Is Professor Mey saying there was a recruitment process for the chief corporate officer's job? There was a recruitment process then, was there?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: Professor Mey will find that when we discussed this last year, the nature of the appointment was that there was no recruitment process. Is that a fact? Was there a recruitment process? That is a “Yes” or “No”. Please answer the question. My clock is being run down and all I am asking for is a “Yes” or “No” answer. Was there a...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: The question is this. Was there a recruitment process?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: As president of a university with over 18,500 students, Professor Mey appears to have a difficulty understanding the question I am posing. Was there a recruitment process for the position that was granted to Mr. Flaherty? That is a “Yes” or “No” answer.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: There was a recruitment process.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: There was a recruitment process. Was the position advertised? It is just a “Yes” or “No”.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: On that, there is video evidence from the last committee where this was discussed that there was not a recruitment process undertaken in the way that ordinary and other positions were appointed. Is that not clear?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: University of Limerick (18 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: I think Mr. O'Connor will find that the last time Professor Mey was here, she said that this was not a position that needed to be advertised because it was a reassignment of duties. That was her answer. Has she changed from that? Either she misled us the last day or she is misleading us today.
