Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (8 Feb 2024)

Catherine Murphy: I will now ask about the non-pay element of GSOC's budget. Obviously, the bulk of that goes on the accommodation. GSOC has accommodation in Dublin and Cork. It is leased accommodation. In the event of there being sanction for additional staffing, will that accommodation be sufficient? Is it future-proofed and is there a break clause in it?

Catherine Murphy: ...the minimum amount. A neighbouring county with growth of 5,000 people received €1 million more. I am just using that as an example. I do not understand the baseline review as it applied to Cork. Cork city has been expanded by bringing in Ballincollig and other areas, yet the city gets the minimum and Cork county makes the big gain from the Local Government Fund by receiving in...

The trial heard that the women worked in various locations around the country, including Limerick, Cork, Galway, Castlebar, Navan, Athlone, Letterkenny, Cavan and Dundalk.

Catherine Murphy: ...little over 11%. However, if you start looking at where the growth has happened, it is really an arc around Fingal, Meath, Kildare and part of south Dublin. The same profile is happening around Cork. There is a mismatch. There is probably capacity in areas that are not growing substantially, like the city centres in terms of facilities, but then there is a duplication of need in...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 Jun 2023)

Catherine Murphy: ...liability is €12.9 million. It would be useful to pick out a few of these and ask the SCA to expand on the nature of the claims and what categories they are in, especially for the big ones. Cork Prison could also be picked out or Castlerea Prison which has 46 claims against it with a liability of €5 million. It would be worthwhile looking for a few of these to be expanded...

Regarding the first home schemes, Mr. Doyle mentioned the areas where the pressure is acute, including Dublin, Cork, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow. I suspect there are very few of these properties in Dublin city and that they are in the Fingal, south Dublin and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown council areas. I...

The same profile is happening in Cork. We are building perfect donuts which are car-dependent, and all sorts of problems go with that. If the Department were to provide us with that information, it would be quite important...

Home Ownership: Motion [Private Members] (31 May 2023)

Catherine Murphy: .... What is occurring is that traditional greenfield housing is being provided in suburban and commuter belt areas in the greater Dublin area. The same profile of development is also being seen in Cork. More people now live in the three outer counties of Kildare, Meath and Wicklow than in Dublin city. That is the second census in which this has been noted. The first home scheme and the...

What kind of society are we building when affordability is now defined by the Government as being €450,000 in Dublin and €400,000 in Cork or Galway? Do you know a mortgage on those amounts is at least €114,000? Increasingly, Ireland has become a country of haves and...

Transport in Galway and Other Areas: Motion [Private Members] (23 Nov 2022)

Catherine Murphy: .... This is not just a suggestion but a legal requirement for planning policy.

Catherine Murphy: I will come back to the HSE on that. On another point, I do not understand the thought process in regard to purchase as opposed to rent in regard to the one in Cork. I want to pick up on a point made by Deputy Carroll MacNeill about the audit of CAMHS services. Does that audit include the service users and their parents? They are sometimes the ones who are capable of telling us where...
