- Public Accounts Committee: 2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (13 Jun 2024) Catherine Murphy: Could I just ask very briefly about the flooding? My colleague talked about Midleton, which is the place that comes most immediately to mind. Some businesses got up to €100,000, which was very understandable, because otherwise we would lose the businesses in that whole area.

- Public Accounts Committee: 2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (13 Jun 2024) Catherine Murphy: I have three issues I would like to raise. I acknowledge that flood relief is complex. We certainly had some very successful schemes in County Kildare and they have stood the test of time.

The...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (13 Jun 2024) Catherine Murphy: I thank Ms Collier for that. She will forgive me for raising an issue that is local in nature. The OPW has had a number of successful negotiations recently, including the one in Meath and the one in Kerry, in the context of adding to the number of national parks, although I know parks are not a direct asset of the OPW.
