Verona Murphy: What the Taoiseach needs to understand is that the only reality people will face with Brexit is a 50% increase in the cost of a shopping basket, particularly low-income earners. The Taoiseach tells me we have an increased capacity in direct ferry services, which he said was not required when he endorsed an Irish Maritime Development Office report. That report was categorically held up by...

Verona Murphy: As it is our first day back, I wish everybody a happy new year. As the important issue of the mother and baby homes is being raised later, rather than labour the point, I want to raise another issue of national importance. Utter disruption has ensued since 1 January at ports, within businesses and the supply chain. Does the Taoiseach intend to allow the disruption to continue to the...

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Verona Murphy: I thank everybody for coming in today. To pick up on some previous points that were made with regard to the recent correspondence we have received, Ms Downes stated that all claims were settled in October or by the end of October.

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Verona Murphy: December.

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Verona Murphy: Ms Downes has discussed how staff were trained and so on to deal with survivors. I find it incredible that in the response to the email that was sent to Caranua, not one thing was addressed in it. The particular line states: "All of your needs have now been met with regards to Caranua and your application is complete".

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Verona Murphy: I am sorry but Ms Downes will not get away with that with me.

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Verona Murphy: There is no personal detail given.

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Verona Murphy: I want to know how that callousness was the response given to someone who is telling Caranua clearly that they were opposed to bathroom tiles that reminded them of where they were abused. The answer states: "All your needs have now been met with regards to Caranua and your application is complete." Does that sound as if it addresses the survivor's needs?

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Verona Murphy: That is a "Yes" or "No" answer. Does she believe on a humane level that that answer has addressed the needs of the survivor?

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Verona Murphy: I am very sorry but there are plenty of other facts. It is very obvious to anybody on this committee, in terms of what is detailed in the email sent to Caranua, that the person received that type of response. They are the facts. The line states: "All your needs have now been met with regards to Caranua and your application is complete." That person will live with the abuse for the rest of...

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Verona Murphy: The Chairman should be aware that there is no more to the case. The fact is that it is outlined in an email to Ms Downes and that is the address given. I want to ask Ms Downes about administration costs because the level of compensation that person was looking for is much less than what Ms Downes seems to have spent. When she announced the wind-down of Caranua in 2018, there was...

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Verona Murphy: Not to advertise it. It is the nature of maintenance and relocation costs.

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Verona Murphy: This is in the 2018 accounts. The Comptroller and Auditor General might address that. Is it a 2017 or a 2018 expenditure?

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Verona Murphy: There was another €13,350 for premises in 2019. Was that for the same premises?

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Verona Murphy: That was €13,350 for a sign and with regard to the email which states: "All your needs have now been met with regards to Caranua and your application is complete", the figure was €5,000.
