Catherine Murphy: We want to proceed with this as efficiently as possible. This approach could lead to skipping backwards and forwards while addressing the heads of legislation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Miscellaneous Provisions (Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on 29 March 2019) Bill 2019: Discussion (6 Feb 2019)

Catherine Murphy: If we were to go through the heads of the Bill, something might be raised on the second head and we would have to wait for half an hour to come back to it. It does not seem to be a terribly efficient way. I get the point that there is an overarching issue as well. How can we accommodate that and yet be efficient in how we get through this?

Catherine Murphy: Some of my questions are similar. Between what parties are the bilateral agreements taking place? The Minister said in his opening statement that Ireland will begin formal negotiations on a bus bilateral with the UK. That suggests there have been informal negotiations. We are acutely aware that the institutions in Northern Ireland are not in place. Has that been an issue? I presume...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Miscellaneous Provisions (Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on 29 March 2019) Bill 2019: Discussion (6 Feb 2019)

Catherine Murphy: I asked about stakeholders in Northern Ireland. It is essential that a legislative framework is in place. The heads of the Bill did not come out of nowhere. It came from teasing out some practical issues and examining the document that the European Commission published. Some of the practical issues will not need legislation but will need consideration. The Minister mentioned talking to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Miscellaneous Provisions (Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on 29 March 2019) Bill 2019: Discussion (6 Feb 2019)

Catherine Murphy: Does this fall within the Minister's remit or is it an issue for a different Department? If goods and all the other things are not going to be part of this legislation, this might be for Revenue, because it involves customs and excise, or for the Department of Finance. If one does not have insurance in a jurisdiction, some jurisdictions can, for example, seize one's vehicle. There may be...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 Jan 2019)

Catherine Murphy: I wanted to just touch briefly on the note on the clean-up of-----

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 Jan 2019)

Catherine Murphy: It is note 3 and it relates to the clean-up of Aughinish, which is under licence to the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA. I think the Comptroller and Auditor General audits the EPA. The licences are very important.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (31 Jan 2019)

Catherine Murphy: The licence is very similar to that for landfill. There is a fairly rigorous regime to ensure that even if a company goes into liquidation or becomes bankrupt that, in theory, money is supposed to be there. Does that feature in terms of the audit, and making sure that such measures are properly in place or is it a separate process?

Catherine Murphy: I do not know if it predated the current licence but there is certainly an issue around enforcement and pollution in the area and people are being impacted by it.
