Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement: Statements (25 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: I am sharing time with Deputy Ryan. In the Minister's opening statement, she spoke about people being frustrated and disappointed. She is wide of the mark in using tame terms such as frustration and disappointment because people are outraged and furious and have a right to be. The case in the courts this week must be a game changer. Otherwise, we may as well hang up our hats because...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: Might the intellectual property include things like, for example, the material produced within universities that is then provided for the various journals where people are not paid for their work, or is it exclusive to the spin-out companies?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: There is a real issue in that regard.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: Almost all or most of what we will examine are historical circumstances about which we can do very little, except try to create consequences to change future behaviour. This is a case in which we can avoid such future consequences. The Department of Education and Skills and the Office of Public Works have a role to play in that regard, but it feels as if they are trying to bide their time...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: What happened?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: Going through the mountains of correspondence we see, a great deal of it is not appropriate to the committee. I do not necessarily mean this matter. Some thought should be given to being quite public about what is and is not appropriate. People are always looking for an outlet to get a remedy and, as such, understanding the remit of the committee is a public information issue. That might...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (25 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: Sometimes liquidation processes take years to complete. Indeed, it is not unusual for them to take years. We are now trying to fast forward to a point in time when there will be a different Committee of Public Accounts and the letter must be written in that context. The letter must contain clear instructions as to what is meant by this committee at this stage-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Pilot Training College of Ireland: Discussion (24 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: As I live quite close to Weston Airport, I agree with Mr. Kealy in his comment on it being a small community. Only a small number of people are training at a given time. Many of them do loop-the-loops over where I live. First, who is the liquidator?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Pilot Training College of Ireland: Discussion (24 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: When did Mr. Kealy make the complaint?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Pilot Training College of Ireland: Discussion (24 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: That may well be something to follow. It is interesting that it was 2012 because that was the year the report concluded that went to the Director of Public Prosecutions on the Seán FitzPatrick case, which we were talking about.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Pilot Training College of Ireland: Discussion (24 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: The date just jumps out. In terms of the Irish Aviation Authority, IAA, it would have had to have companies registered with it and it would have had to approve those companies. It is true that it is not for financial purposes but that it is a company that has the legitimate expertise and right to be involved with a training entity. Is it usual for the Irish Aviation Authority to check out...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Pilot Training College of Ireland: Discussion (24 May 2017)

Catherine Murphy: The IAA reviewed the parent company but the money paid by the students was not paid to the parent company, which was a legal entity in its own right, but to a subsidiary company. There was a qualified audit on that. What were the qualifications on that audit?
