Catherine Murphy: Would it not be better for us to pick out one and say that we are concerned about what we are seeing, given what it is telling us about how CHI is functioning? We do not want to see that continuing to happen. When we have a beautiful large new hospital that costs an arm and a leg, there needs to be workforce planning. We can watch how the situation at this hospital goes and see whether it...

Catherine Murphy: Yes.

Catherine Murphy: Is this a notified audit? I presume it is. Will it include a health and safety audit? Notifying the outcome to us would be useful. We spoke to the State Claims Agency about Casement Aerodrome, where there are ongoing issues. Some of those have been resolved, but I am particularly interested in No. 5 in the document, according to which the State Claims Agency’s enterprise risk...

Catherine Murphy: I presume it is a notified audit, so I wish to know whether it will include a health and safety audit. We can not allow this situation to ever recur.

Catherine Murphy: We should ask the agency to revert to us with the results.

Catherine Murphy: It involves people from a number of locations. Baldonnel is in south-west Dublin and I am aware of people in my constituency who have suffered significant health issues, but this involves people from a range of different areas.

Catherine Murphy: I refer to one paragraph a little bit down. The DPIA in question noted in a preamble to the section on information transparency that an information leaflet provided to people at their PSC registration appointment does not set out the legal basis for biometric processing. The observation that an information leaflet does not reference the legal basis is not at all equivalent to finding no...

Catherine Murphy: In Kildare, we have 250,000 people and two public swimming pools. Essentially, I do not understand the rationale for how these get funded if it is not based on population. They are very expensive to run. They are loss-making or they just about break even, but it is critical. Other counties have double the number and half the population. It is crazy-----

Catherine Murphy: Well good luck to you. In north Kildare, for six months, we have a pop-up pool. The GAA in Leixlip have accommodated that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2023)
Catherine Murphy: Yes, an outdoor pop-up pool. It has a tarpaulin. However, I would like to see the rationale as to how decisions are made. Years ago, perhaps in 2000, it was decided to upgrade swimming pools and every county was to nominate two locations. Every county was not equal in that; there were big populations and small populations. There did not seem to be a good rationale, and then it was...

Catherine Murphy: Perhaps that has something to do with it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Sep 2023)
Catherine Murphy: It is 150,000. In Kildare in total there is just 3,000 short of 250,000 people and there are two public swimming pools.
