Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Nov 2017)

Catherine Murphy: Should we forward the correspondence to the health committee because it is not just individual workers who have a genuine grievance but there is a real and noticeable problem with the delivery of services as a consequence because there is no doubt there is a real difficulty in holding on to staff.

Catherine Murphy: The Revenue Commissioners can tell us what came in, and I understand that they will not be talking about individual taxpayers, but the Department of Finance, in advance of any budget where there is a change, must have carried out an analysis of what is expected to come in.
