- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Mar 2018)
Catherine Murphy: One of the things that has happened as a consequence of this is that the amount of money that is being spent across a range of different Departments has become much more obvious. There is no doubt that there is a value for money issue in terms of the efficient use of money. Departments will always need to carry out campaigns in areas such as health promotion. The way this unit was used is...

Catherine Murphy: -----in unclaimed prizes. Does all of that go into advertising or should some of it go into sports capital grants? Is there flexibility to amend the contract or is it written into the contract? All those questions are critical because it will undermine the viability-----

Catherine Murphy: We are awaiting the Thorn report on the University of Limerick. A report is also being done on the Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board, which we have to factor into the work programme.

Catherine Murphy: Yes. There are two other issues, the first of which we have pushed continuously into the future, namely, the fair deal scheme. We should try to find space to deal with this issue in light of the sizeable amount of money involved. The other issue, which we have discussed on several occasions, is the contingent liability in the HSE in relation to how claims are managed. I think this issue...

Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (29 Mar 2018) Catherine Murphy: I will deal with the move by Foras na Gaeilge. Ms Licken stated the Department conducted comparisons on market rents at the time. Did the Department compare the cost of a mortgage to buy the property with the cost of renting the property and was there a financial analysis of the various options? I do not speak Irish, for which I apologise, so will the officials reply in English?

Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (29 Mar 2018) Catherine Murphy: Was Foras na Gaeilge told that the option to take out a mortgage to purchase a property was not possible because of the general Government deficit? Was there such an impediment?

Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (29 Mar 2018) Catherine Murphy: What strikes me is that even if one looked at the cost of renting a property for ten years, which would work out at €60 million, one would get a sizeable decent building for that money, which would probably meet the needs without a residual cost after the loan had been paid off. As Ms Licken said, the OPW was not in a position to deal with the provision of a building for Fora na...

Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (29 Mar 2018) Catherine Murphy: Perhaps we should take that up as a separate issue in our work programme. I will move on and put questions on the items that went missing and are subject to a Garda investigation. When the stock that is stored is then put on display in different facilities, is there an issue with the insurance of the exhibits during transport and while on display? Do each of the individual museums or...
