Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Management of Sewage Sludge: Cré (28 Jan 2014)

Catherine Murphy: It was Deputy Corcoran Kennedy and not me who suggested we should invite this group in. I thank the witnesses for providing details of the management recommendations that are adhered to in some locations. It is clear that Irish Water will have a role in this regard into the future. Responsibility for waste water treatment plants is being transferred to that body. Does Cré expect that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Capturing Full Value of Genealogical Heritage: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Jan 2014)

Catherine Murphy: My first set of questions are directed to the officials from the GRO. When will the first set of historic records be made available online? Those who are interested in this information will be aware of the changes applicable from 2000 onwards and the ongoing project in Roscommon. I welcome that the indexes will be available on the irishgenealogy.iewebsite in the near future. I acknowledge...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Capturing Full Value of Genealogical Heritage: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Jan 2014)

Catherine Murphy: The 1911 census was released earlier , which I accept was within a different legal framework at that point. It did not have any significant impact on the future collection of census data. People did not refuse to fill in the forms because the 1911 census records were released early. The roof did not fall in. I have used census records for a variety of reasons, as has everyone else here....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Capturing Full Value of Genealogical Heritage: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Jan 2014)

Catherine Murphy: We are all aware of the staffing embargo and I appreciate that an enormous number of hours have been devoted to getting the records into the required format and many more hours will be needed to complete that task. Has there been any work force planning done in that context? Has an evaluation been carried out of the number of people needed to complete this project?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Standards of Service in Water Supply: Irish Water and CER (11 Feb 2014)

Catherine Murphy: The key issue is how much people will pay for water services. That relates to both Uisce Éireann and the CER. There is a cost in keeping costs down and in upgrading the distribution and quality of water services. As I understand it, Uisce Éireann will send a proposal to the Commission for Energy Regulation. This is very different from the way Bord Gáis Energy and the ESB...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Standards of Service in Water Supply: Irish Water and CER (11 Feb 2014)

Catherine Murphy: I asked several questions. I have asked who determines whether the level of capital is sufficient. There is a great deal of money to be spent on an annual basis. Is the decision on what level of capital is sufficient made by Irish Water or the Commission for Energy Regulation? Is the ability of the end user to supply that capital, if it is to be derived from consumers, factored in?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Standards of Service in Water Supply: Irish Water and CER (11 Feb 2014)

Catherine Murphy: There could be significant variations in water quantity and quality, depending on where people live and how advanced the systems are. Is it possible that people with very deficient systems will be charged the same amount of money as those with better systems? How will that issue be dealt with?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Standards of Service in Water Supply: Irish Water and CER (11 Feb 2014)

Catherine Murphy: On that point, part of the reason they have not been spent in recent years is that they have been placed on the balance sheet against the general Government deficit. Will that continue to be an issue in respect of Irish Water or will it have control over these funds?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Standards of Service in Water Supply: Irish Water and CER (11 Feb 2014)

Catherine Murphy: What did we get from Bord Gáis?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Standards of Service in Water Supply: Irish Water and CER (11 Feb 2014)

Catherine Murphy: Mr. Barry is saying it was never realistic, that Irish Water was going to be hooked onto Bord Gáis and that there would be a minimal level of investment required to establish the new utility. He is saying it was the knowledge of Bord Gáis that was of benefit rather than its systems.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Electricity Generation and Export: Discussion (18 Feb 2014)

Catherine Murphy: One thing that is causing confusion in the public mind is the number of projects that are taking place at the same time and that a different approach is being taken to each one. There is a presumption that the same approach is being taken by each one and it is not helpful. I wish to direct some questions to Element Power. We have spoken about new planning guidelines which are coming on...
