Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon Financial Statement 2017 (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: I accept that the board was probably not aware of the full extent of what was happening, but it certainly knew that there were issues of traceability, given how Mr. Dollard stated that the board could not account for the numbers because there was not an accurate database. In the interests of animal welfare, did the board not feel that there was an onus on it to highlight this matter and...

Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon Financial Statement 2017 (19 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: The sheer scale of what was shown in the programme was quite shocking. We have been told that it is difficult to provide figures, given the lack of traceability, but that could also mean that the number is even higher. Many people are concerned by how it took the programme to highlight the problem and that neither the Department nor the board had done enough to introduce measures to prevent...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: N52 Ardee Bypass: Discussion (18 Sep 2019)

Imelda Munster: I thank the delegates for providing clarification. We all had a stomach turning moment when we heard that the project had been put on hold, pending a review, given that it is almost 20 years in planning, give or take, given the work that has gone into it and, above all else, the serious need for it.
