Vote 10 - Tax Appeals Commission
Chapter 14 - Management of Tax Appeals (8 Jul 2021)

Verona Murphy: As Ms Maney said, it has affected everyone. I assume Ms Maney's brief as chairperson of the Tax Appeals Commission is not one whereby she can work from home. Are there people working from home?

Chapter 14 - Management of Tax Appeals (8 Jul 2021)

Verona Murphy: My last question relates to the fact that dealing with the Tax Appeals Commission is stressful for all manner of reasons. I am sorry if I am doubling up, but there have been cases involving a delay in determinations. What process has the commission put in place to ensure that the time taken to issue a determination after an appeal is reduced? In light of Covid one can imagine, through no...

Verona Murphy: I thank Ms Maney and her staff. I am a new member of the committee, but I must emphasise that in my time on this committee I have never seen such comprehensive coverage by any Department. I commend Ms Maney on that. We have rarely, if ever, seen all of the Comptroller and Auditor General's recommendations brought on board within such a short space of time, in this case a year. Sometimes...

Chapter 14 - Management of Tax Appeals (8 Jul 2021)

Verona Murphy: I am not really looking for the statistics. Rather than seeing anybody being disenfranchised and having to go down the road of judicial review, I am trying to establish and understand whether there should be a briefing on what constitutes the commission's decision not to accept an appeal. If the case is not accepted because it concerns how someone has been treated and is not monetary in...

I commend the Minister on the progress he has made as Minister responsible for higher education based on moving along the project for the technological university of south-east Ireland, TUSEI.

Verona Murphy: I thank the Minister for his commitment to engage with the council or IT Carlow, either during the recess or beforehand online, before we all take off on our holidays. I appreciate that greatly. I am a graduate of the Wexford campus of IT Carlow. Had I not been able to attend night classes at the age of 35, I might never have had a law degree. There are many people like me in the south...

Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (7 Jul 2021)

Verona Murphy: The very reason we are here is because of Covid. We are making provision for councillors to extend the process to form county development plans that suit their county. I ask the Minister to delete the section that does not allow existing planning permissions that have not substantially commenced. The reality is that if they have not broken ground it is because of Covid. We have had the...

CervicalCheck Tribunal (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (7 Jul 2021)

Verona Murphy: This Bill appears to be simple. I will support it. What does not seem to be so simple is the process these women have to go through. The purpose of the Bill is to extend the period for making claims for compensation to the CervicalCheck tribunal from January 2022 to July 2022. In line with Deputies from the Regional Group, I urge the Minister to take that time to review the situation and...

However, the MRI scanner that was promised in an undertaking given by Government never...
