Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Jan 2021)

Catherine Murphy: Obviously, regarding the report that was given to us, we always knew that the amount of funding that was available to Caranua was going to be finite. I do not think there is any doubt that the people who were best able to make the applications were those from whom the applications were first received.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Jan 2021)

Catherine Murphy: This is really tough on people and there is a high degree of fear. That is why people are looking not to punish others but to be protected.
