Public Accounts Committee: 2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (22 Jan 2021)

Verona Murphy: Do we have any intention of moving the National Security Analysis Centre, NSAC, from the Department of the Taoiseach and, if so, will it be any time soon? To go back, I asked what was our most recent cyber attack. I do not need a definitive answer as to exactly what was attacked. What was the most recent attack and when was it?

Covid-19 (Special Educational Needs Provision): Statements (21 Jan 2021)

Verona Murphy: I am slightly lost for words, which the Ceann Comhairle knows is not my style. I have heard it all and everybody has heard it. I do not believe for a minute that either the Minister or Minister of State has turned a deaf ear or do not feel what is being said or have not done their best. Equally, I do not believe our schoolteachers or special needs assistants have done so. I have never...

Brexit (Foreign Affairs): Statements (21 Jan 2021)

Verona Murphy: Having been involved in the Brexit process from the start, the Minister is only too well aware of the detrimental impact of Brexit on the island of Ireland. Indeed, both he and I attended many a Brexit forum detailing to larger audiences throughout the country just how bad it would be with tariffs. The deal, as we will call it, may have avoided tariffs and, to the Minister’s mind,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Jan 2021)

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...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Jan 2021)

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)

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".

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: 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?
