Public Accounts Committee: 2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 26 - Office of Minister for Education (16 May 2024)

Catherine Murphy: I have a number of questions I want to ask, and I have little time. Will Mr. Loftus provide the committee with a note of situations where security is paid for, separate from it being included in the contract? We can look at that then. The Department said it plans years out. County Kildare is growing rapidly and gained 25,000 people between the two most recent censuses. We have...

Catherine Murphy: ...appointment of a design team in March 2012 to complete the Temple Carrig School in County Wicklow. The school sought an extension and a design team was appointed in 2021 but the school is still at the first stage 37 months later. People at the school estimate it will take them six years from beginning to end to add an extension whereas it only took half that time to build the school. ...

Vote 26 - Office of Minister for Education (16 May 2024)

Catherine Murphy: There is no capacity for growth, however, even though the Department knows the areas are growing and have expanding populations. I refer to areas like Fingal, Kildare, Meath, south Dublin and Wicklow. It is not new that they are growing rather they have been growing and there has been a pattern of growth for decades now. Why would the Department not factor that in when looking at capacity?

Public Accounts Committee: 2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 26 - Office of Minister for Education (16 May 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Every year where I live there is a scrap for school places. Sometimes schools are asked to accommodate additional students and prefabs can be put in at fairly short notice for them. Presumably there is some budget for this every year. Will the witnesses give us an indication of this particular aspect where each year the Department must provide at a late stage for the accommodation of...

Road Safety and Maintenance: Motion [Private Members] (15 May 2024)

Catherine Murphy: ...alcohol or drugs and distractions such as mobile telephone use, is most definitely a factor in some collisions. The reduction in the numbers involved in the traffic corps over the past few years rather than in increase is relevant when we consider enforcement. Temporary solutions, such as 30 minutes per day for uniformed members, is welcome, but it is not sustainable on an ongoing basis....

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 May 2024)

Catherine Murphy: I raise the issue of services being rationed by the HSE. The executive will only provide one therapy at a time. Let us take, for example, a child who is neurodivergent and requires several therapies, such as occupational and speech and language therapies. That child will not get parallel services even if they are vital to his or her needs. If a child goes onto a children's disability...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick (9 May 2024)

Catherine Murphy: The witnesses are giving us assurances that this is not going to happen again and are asking us to take them at face value. It is very difficult for us to take anything at face value from University of Limerick given that this is not the first occasion on which this has happened. There may well be different personnel involved, but we need to see evidence. We need to see evidence of the...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick (9 May 2024)

Catherine Murphy: I am sorry; we have just been told that UL was preparing for the previous meeting of the Committee of Public Account last year and Professor Laffan became aware of it at that stage. That is the timeline we are talking about. We had the former chancellor sitting exactly where Professor Laffan is sitting last year. She must have been aware of Rhebogue at that stage. Surely, Professor Laffan...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick (9 May 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Professor Laffan certainly does not want to do reputational damage. Therefore, I would expect that she would make sure there is nothing that would contribute to reputational damage. Making herself aware of that and asking that question, at the very least, would have been prudent. Let us put it that way.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick (9 May 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Right, okay. If people were to go and buy those houses in Rhebogue when they were being sold, I can imagine they would have assumed that they would not be able to compete with the university given the amount. Did people not know what property was going for in the area? This was not 5,000 houses. This was a relatively small number of houses with a very bad transaction. Even looking up the...
