Chapter 4 - Vote Accounting and Budget Management (19 May 2022) Catherine Murphy: This was a not-for-profit and it was heavily used. The Department is now going to have to create a new database. What is the cost of doing that and is that coming from the Department of Rural and Community Development or elsewhere?

2020 Report on the Accounts of the Public Services of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 4 - Vote Accounting and Budget Management (19 May 2022) Catherine Murphy: The public have a right to information as well. We have this supposedly open government approach. My distinct impression is that, at best, we are going to end up with a fragmented system where we will have a piece from the Charities Regulator, we will have gaps because Benefacts covered a much wider remit and we will not have the oversight. It is as if there is a management of information...

Chapter 4 - Vote Accounting and Budget Management (19 May 2022) Catherine Murphy: I will come back to the Department by way of parliamentary questions because I do not have the time to go through all of the points on it. When it was set up, was the issue of state aid something that was considered at that stage? It seems ludicrous that the Department would allow it to run for six or seven years and not have done that if it was going to be a risk. Those kinds of risks...

2020 Report on the Accounts of the Public Services of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 4 - Vote Accounting and Budget Management (19 May 2022) Catherine Murphy: Mr. Moloney said the Department consulted with the various other Departments. Instead of going through all of the rigmarole of asking a lot of parliamentary questions, can we have the responses from the various Departments in the form of a note? That would be helpful, rather than going the long way around to get that input.

Chapter 4 - Vote Accounting and Budget Management (19 May 2022) Catherine Murphy: I will come back to that later. I want to ask about public-private partnerships, PPPs. In Mr. Moloney’s opening statement, he talked about the advantages but he said nothing much about the disadvantages. I remember that at the previous Committee of Public Accounts, of which I was a member, many of us did not conclude what Mr. Moloney concluded about value for money. For example,...

Chapter 4 - Vote Accounting and Budget Management (19 May 2022) Catherine Murphy: Right. That is okay. Does the Department carry out reviews of all the PPP projects? That is one of the issues that came up when the previous Committee of Public Accounts had hearings on the matter. Reviews were only done in a sample of cases. Does the Department carry out a review in every situation where there is a PPP?

Chapter 4 - Vote Accounting and Budget Management (19 May 2022) Catherine Murphy: I wish to discuss Benefacts. I will read from the conclusions of the Indecon report: “The overall benefits of the Benefacts’ service are likely to be in excess of the costs”. It also referred to a need for more specialised data and expanding on the service. Indecon’s analysis reads: “The methodologies used by Benefacts are appropriate and are in line with...
