Vote 7 - Office of Minister for Finance
Chapter 1 - Exchequer Financial Outturn for 2019
Chapter 17 - Ireland Apple Escrow Fund (5 Nov 2020)

Catherine Murphy: ...I go over old ground. The Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, IBRC, which was a combination of Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide Building Society, had a huge cost somewhere in the region of €35 billion. It was €30 billion and €5 billion, respectively. Much of that is simply not recoverable. We can see that €682 million was received by the Exchequer in...

Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2020)

Catherine Murphy: ...is important that we draw attention to this. There was delay on the part of the State in implementing the fourth anti-money laundering directive and that had a consequence. Ireland was fined €2 million, but it was also significant that we delayed. Ireland and Romania were the last two countries in the EU to transpose the directive. Both nations were responsible for EU law not...

Summer Economic Statement 2019: Statements (25 Jun 2019)

Catherine Murphy: ...white options for several scenarios. The one with the United Kingdom crashing out of the European Union is pretty dire, not just for next year’s but for subsequent years’ budgets. The loss of 50,000 jobs in such a scenario is conceivable. Social welfare payments and tax revenues would not just be impacted on, as it would affect the domestic economy, as well as creating a...

Public Accounts Committee: Environmental Protection Agency: Financial Statements 2017 (18 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: ...in relation to integration, pollution control, and licences. We were told in relation to that report that work was done in July 2014 on getting a financial provision package of €28 million in place to cover clean up and things like that. That is the financial aspect, but there is a longstanding issue in relation to human health, and an investigation was done on that, which cost...

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Broadband Service Provision: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Mar 2019)

Catherine Murphy: Okay, that is fine. The total that the State has spent on MANs so far is €176 million. That was a piece of information given to us by the chief executive officer of Enet. The revenue share represents about 5% of a return over the past 15 years. When we discussed this previously, one of the reasons for not going to tender was because investments were being made by Enet and there was...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Nov 2018)

Catherine Murphy: There are some very large amounts of money involved, the largest is nearly €5 million. Other amounts include €2 million and €1.1 million. I am concerned about how procurement was carried out. Was there just a list of contractors from which people were asked to do the work or was there a robust system? Can we write to the OPW, if we have not done so already-----

Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach (3 May 2018)

Catherine Murphy: ...Communications Unit (SCU). Subsequently, a meeting was held at official level in my Department ... The business case fully reflected Government policy ... According to this, an amount of €5 million was sought. Given that the Government wanted to establish this unit, was it ever in doubt that it would be established once the request was made? It looks like the decision had been...

Financial Resolutions 2018 - Budget Statement 2018 (10 Oct 2017)

Catherine Murphy: ...to save later. I asked Department of Finance officials at the Committee of Public Accounts recently how much it would cost us in hard cash for missing our climate targets. The reply I got was €600 million annually from 2021. We need to spend now to save later. We need to invest in the kind of initiatives that are about having a vision that will save later on. There are many...

Public Accounts Committee: Dublin Institute of Technology: Financial Statement 2013-2014
Grangegorman Development Agency: Financial Statement 2015 (6 Apr 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of Road Traffic (Fixed Penalty - Drink Driving) Bill 2017: Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (5 Apr 2017)

Catherine Murphy: ..., there needs to be a targeted approach. I was interested to see the statistics on page 30 of the Road Safety Authority's document on motorcyclists. More motorcyclist collisions occurred between 5 p.m and 6 p.m. on a Sunday than at any other time of the day. The targeted approach to apprehending people in terms of road checks must be stressed. How evenly spread are the checkpoint...

To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the amounts recouped to date from milk producers in order to reimburse his department for the levy amount of €77 million paid by his Department to the European Union in November 2015 in payment for exceeding milk quotas; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12571/17]

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sport in Ireland - Challenges, Strategies and Governance: Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (1 Feb 2017)

Catherine Murphy: One cannot have accountability without transparency. That same organisation had two different amounts of €5 million, one of which came from Goldman Sachs while the other came from the Thierry Henry affair and was almost compensation for not being there. They were revealed in a way that did not come through the organisation's accounts. Is the Minister satisfied about that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sport in Ireland; Challenges, Strategies and Governance: FAI, GAA and IRFU (18 Jan 2017)

Catherine Murphy: ...interested in sport. Whether one likes it, one is drawn into it and I happen to like it. A number of governance issues are raised in the case of the FAI. The Genesis report was produced 14 or 15 years ago. It contained a number of recommendations which ended up not being implemented, including that independent non-executive directors be appointed. Why was that the case? It was a...

Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Dec 2016)

Catherine Murphy: ...fund to the Minister for Finance. This fund is made up from motor taxation and property tax. In previous years we saw changes to the Local Government Act 1998 to allow for the transfer of up to €540 million from the local government fund to the Exchequer for Irish Water. In a previous year, approximately €600 million was legislated for in the Local Government Reform Act...

Commission of Investigation (Irish Bank Resolution Corporation) Bill 2016: Second Stage (8 Jul 2016)

Catherine Murphy: ...from their own resources rather than a loan from one of our banks. We know trade buyers were excluded, so we did not properly test what could have come in. As we know, there was a write-off of €119 million, with €5 million going to the directors of what was essentially a failed company in terms of the amount of money available. My pursuit of the questions surrounding such...

Leaders' Questions (28 Jan 2016)

Catherine Murphy: ...recall that Abtran got the contract for the Student Universal Support Ireland, SUSI, grant system, and came under serious criticism, and rightly so, for its failings. It cost an additional almost €6 million. Despite this, it went on to be awarded the property tax contract and Revenue had to step in because initially it failed to cope. After both of these high-profile failings it...

Draft Commission of Investigation (Certain matters concerning transactions entered into by IBRC) Order 2015: Motion (9 Jun 2015)

Catherine Murphy: ...How did we get from the flawed review to a proper commission of investigation? How did these infamous missing minutes suddenly appear? It seems an uncanny coincidence that the minutes of the meeting of 15 March 2012 were found in the same week that the Government decided on a full commission of investigation. There is significant new information in those minutes and I wish to focus on...
