- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Mar 2024)
Catherine Murphy: There was supposed to be legislation in this context. I think it could even have been considered during the last Dáil and Committee of Public Accounts. There was supposed to be legislation dealing with the wind-up of an organisation.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Mar 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Yes. That proposed legislation, however, never materialised.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Mar 2024)
Catherine Murphy: During the term of the last Committee of Public Accounts, what was referred to in relation to the assets to be transferred as a consequence, as part compensation, this would certainly have been on the low end compared with the State's obligation or the amount the State undertook to pay. We routinely had this item on the agenda. Some of this context went back to 2000, but the title on some...

Catherine Murphy: A second scheme came about as a consequence of the Ryan report.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Mar 2024)
Catherine Murphy: The scheme was not nailed down, though, from the perspective of the State. We were shocked, however, regarding some of the older ones and the length of time it had taken for progress to be made.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Mar 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Obviously, the EPA and Fingal County Council come into play here. Fingal County Council is not under the remit of the Committee of Public Accounts. My experience with the EPA is that there is a lot of paper-based compliance rather than hands-on compliance. Often, people feel that with the local authority, there is a bit of passing of the buck going on. In my experience, that happens quite...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Mar 2024)
Catherine Murphy: We should satisfy ourselves on what its role is on this matter and to draw attention to the issues at hand. It is important that we actually see what they are. There may be a gap in governance and it would be useful to address the issue of the passing of the buck to each other.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Mar 2024)
Catherine Murphy: To say the last meeting was unsatisfactory is a gross understatement. It went under the wire when the RTÉ issue exploded. It is essential that we have a full team, including the Accounting Officer, before the committee and that we have clarity on this organisation. There were very serious issues that we were concerned about at the previous meeting. We have to be sure they are...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Mar 2024)
Catherine Murphy: On the Beaumont one, there are two significant issues here, one of which is the controls over overpayments. However, the first issue I would like to draw attention to in terms of the risk is what kind of timeline do they require to have that fully implemented. Obviously it has been identified as a risk. How would that risk manifest itself in terms of that interface with patients? I want...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Mar 2024)
Catherine Murphy: It is not to do with money; it is actually project work. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Mar 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Obviously this is a Dublin hospital but it is a national centre as well so it is critically important.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Mar 2024)
Catherine Murphy: How many people does Mr. McCarthy think-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (7 Mar 2024)
Catherine Murphy: It would be worth asking if there is a plan in place to recoup the rest. If we are writing to Beaumont on this, we should also express our concern about the first item on the risk and ask it to outline the measures it is taking, the project timeline and how it expects to work to that. That has a potential impact on patients and the functioning of the hospital. It is important to flag how...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Tusla-Child and Family Agency (29 Feb 2024)
Catherine Murphy: I welcome the witnesses. As I have even less time than Deputy Kelly, I ask the witnesses to keep their responses as short as possible. To follow on from the line of questioning on the issue that has been in the news, was the new internal compliance unit that has been put in place the unit that found the issue here or was there something before that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Tusla-Child and Family Agency (29 Feb 2024)
Catherine Murphy: And after that-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Tusla-Child and Family Agency (29 Feb 2024)
Catherine Murphy: How many people are in this compliance unit?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Tusla-Child and Family Agency (29 Feb 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Okay. We are certainly not going to talk about a particular agency or organisation with which there is Garda involvement. How many other organisations have been excluded as a consequence of this unit being set up and investigating that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Tusla-Child and Family Agency (29 Feb 2024)
Catherine Murphy: That was over what period of time?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Tusla-Child and Family Agency (29 Feb 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Is there an ambition, instead of using agencies, to set up an actual public service?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Tusla-Child and Family Agency (29 Feb 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Are those State or agency beds?
