It was the council that administered that money to LEADER at a charge of 3% but now LEADER and the...

Verona Murphy: That is absolutely fine. I particularly compliment Enterprise Ireland. It is the one organisation I seldom get complaints about.

Will Mr. Clancy comment on that or give...

Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)

Verona Murphy: Very good. I am not sure where my time is at but I have just one quick question. Does EI see any significant reason for a review of the criteria to receive EI grants? For instance, some large enterprises do not meet the ten-employee criterion specifically because of what they do, which is more machine-led. These companies make significant investments in machinery and do not need to expand...

Finance Bill 2023: Second Stage (21 Mar 2023)

Verona Murphy: I apologise for being late; it was due to the late delivery of the Government amendment. I welcome the Government decision to bring this Bill forward and to extend the time these tax reductions, and other supports, will be in place. However, while I agree in principle with the extension of the tax reductions I take major issue with the way the Government has decided to reapply the excise...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Mar 2023)

Verona Murphy: Last week, the elected representatives from Wexford met with the management of Wexford General Hospital. The Taoiseach will be aware there was a fire some three weeks ago. I heard Deputy Shanahan’s question to the Taoiseach this morning. It has put significant pressure on University Hospital Waterford. The difficulty is that Dr. Yousif, who is the sub-director, confirmed yesterday...
