Catherine Murphy: That is agreed.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Jan 2024)
Catherine Murphy: There is a bit of an irony in that the committee was told that Irish Water would dispense with all of these local authorities. In fact, they are central to the work of Irish Water.

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Jan 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Obviously, people signed up to this scheme with the expectation they were going to be covered when they retired, and the fact this is a public body would have given them an additional assurance. We are talking about the case of CIÉ but I have engaged also with people from the likes of the ESB, which is a semi-State company. Issues such as inflation and, in this case, potentially full...

Catherine Murphy: Can we ask the authority for some additional information? The correspondence states that since the individual energy upgrade scheme was launched in 2009, 22,747 homes built pre-1940 have received grants for 31,287 upgrades thereunder. Very often, they fall into a different category because of the nature of how they are built. Can we ask specifically about, for example, protected structures...

Catherine Murphy: There are obvious things. It is always useful to say that the Committee of Public Accounts can invite people in. For example, when we look for the Secretary General of a Department to come in, he or she is required to do so. We should acknowledge again that the FAI is not audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General. It falls into the category of organisations that we invite in. I...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Jan 2024)
Catherine Murphy: There is a list. Obviously, people have been putting items on the agenda. The key issue is that we should have a purpose. I can see Deputy Verona Murphy has a purpose in trying to consider a particular fund concerning Tusla. I think we need to know what the purpose is. Where there is an issue of concern with any of the accounts or organisations, it should be given higher priority than...

Chapter 11 - Utilisation of the Land Aggregation Scheme Sites (14 Dec 2023) Catherine Murphy: I welcome all the officials. I am looking at the C and AG's opening statement and there is a piece missing in terms of the 13 sites. Do we know what the disposed value of those sites was so as we can have a full overview?

According to the C and AG's opening statement, the agency attributes the fact almost half of the site area acquired under the scheme still had no development plans or proposals for delivery of social or affordable housing to issues such as infrastructural constraints,...
