Verona Murphy: I thank the Commissioner. Moving on to capital expenditure, a beautiful new Garda station was recently built in County Wexford that came in under budget in excess of €500 million. However, it transpired early on that the Garda station is too small. What input has An Garda Síochána in the design? Does it take into account the expansion of the force in the future? How is...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (31 Mar 2022)

Verona Murphy: I would like that figure, please. It strikes me as being extraordinary. I am not sure exactly where the problem lies, but we need to establish it. If it were a private company, nobody could afford this. There must be a system in play where this cannot happen.

Public Accounts Committee: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (24 Mar 2022)

Verona Murphy: I thank the Chairman and wish the officials a good morning. I am delighted they are before us and have been listening intently from my office. I have a couple of quick-fire questions on electric car chargers. Is there a wait time for having a charger fitted at the home?

Public Accounts Committee: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (24 Mar 2022)
