Verona Murphy: As a member of the Committee of Public Accounts, I assure Mr. Cody that that is what is expected. Revenue's standards are probably expected to be beyond non-compliance. I understand that there is not a one-size-fits-all in everything, as long as Mr. Cody is happy.

Workplace Ventilation (Covid-19) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (1 Dec 2021)

Verona Murphy: I thank Solidarity-People Before Profit for bringing this Bill to the House. When it comes to the Covid-19 response, we as a people wear masks, wash our hands, socially distance and abide by complete lockdowns. We have even paid for €9 meals, endured hotel quarantine, largely taken vaccinations and applied and used vaccine passports, yet we are where we are. We need to look at other...

Employment Support Services: Motion [Private Members] (30 Nov 2021)

Verona Murphy: I thank Sinn Féin for bringing forward the motion, which I will be supporting. I have had lots of engagement with people in local employment services since these proposed changes were published. It is safe to say the changes have not been met with resounding approval by them. One such email I received recently was from a lady in County Wexford who works at Wexford Local Development,...

Chapter 7 - Oversight of Funding for the European Capital of Culture 2020 (25 Nov 2021)

Verona Murphy: It is important to say to the witnesses that I appreciate Mr. Ó Lionáin's comments on the sports capital grant. It is somewhat disappointing that the announcement timeline is being extended because only last week I called all those I am advocating for to say it would be the end of November. It is very important from a community and social perspective as if there is anything the...

Chapter 7 - Oversight of Funding for the European Capital of Culture 2020 (25 Nov 2021)

Verona Murphy: I appreciate that. I am mindful that, given the times we are in, there will be a significant increase in the cost of projects that were the subject of applications that were sent in last March. That is just the building industry in general. The sooner the better, as they say, and it will all be good in the end. Turning to section 7.7 on page 87, I am fascinated and would like an answer...

Verona Murphy: To reiterate the Vice Chair's comments, it was most unfortunate. Perhaps a great deal was learned - I do not know - but will there be a review of the structure in comparison with what it had been?

Chapter 7 - Oversight of Funding for the European Capital of Culture 2020 (25 Nov 2021)

Verona Murphy: Turning to Ms Licken's previous appearance before us, a number of recommendations were made. I am conscious that Covid has intervened in all of this, so I am really just asking how everything is going. The Department was to establish a revised set of operational and governance arrangements in respect of its national cultural institutions, NCI, capital investment programme. That was to...

Chapter 7 - Oversight of Funding for the European Capital of Culture 2020 (25 Nov 2021)

Verona Murphy: I am sorry, but just in case I run out of time, I have a further question to ask. In any application for capital funding for a large-scale investment project, the Department now requires it to be demonstrated that appropriate project management structures are in place. Has any application been turned down for not meeting this criterion?

Covid-19: New Measures: Statements (24 Nov 2021)

Verona Murphy: In the first days of Covid, in February 2020, we were a country gripped by fear of a pandemic for which we were ill-prepared. The scenes from Europe alerted Government in Ireland that we did not have a plan to deal with a pandemic. The Government decided that to prevent the spread and allow it to prepare, time and money was needed. We locked down, private hospitals were taken over to...
