Catherine Murphy: I agree with many of the points that have been made with regard to the Department. Indeed, I heard the criticism from our Fianna Fáil colleague here. This is a whole-of-government issue but the problem is that there is not a whole-of-government response. I want to concentrate exclusively on the international protection provision. Mr. McCarthy says he cannot tell us the amounts for...

Catherine Murphy: There is more to it than that. Bunk beds were said to be unsuitable but the place is full of bunk beds. The Department should have known that when it contracted the service. Did somebody even go and check?

Catherine Murphy: When I see this in once case, on which we have granular information, I ask whether it is replicated all over the place. How many more facilities have been found to have inadequacies with fire safety after the fact?

Catherine Murphy: Will the Department send us a note on the contractual basis for the number of contracted beds versus the occupancy? Does it pay if they are not fully occupied? I ask for a note on that so we can see for ourselves. Will the officials also provide us a note on how the Department satisfies itself on the exemptions and the planning? For example, I know of a couple of instances where...

Catherine Murphy: It is the company. If that company fundamentally changes, such as where there is a front person and they get a tax clearance certificate and then the beneficial owner comes in and swaps in their name, is the Department required to be notified of those kind of changes? Some of these look like Lanigan's Ball.

Catherine Murphy: Will Mr. McCarthy give us a note on the tax clearance approach in order that we can go into it in greater detail? So much of this is internal. The Comptroller and Auditor General will probably be the one who sees more detail. Would he see those inspection reports about non-compliance? We saw one last week that gave us significant concerns and details. What does he see? Is there...
