Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Catherine Murphy: So this would have been premature.

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: I have one important question.

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: That is the development cost. I asked what would value for money in this regard be. Is the Department in agreement with that amount quoted in respect of value for money?

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Is there no consideration at all in the Department whether we get value for money?

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: University of Limerick
Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: How is this figure for the development cost established? Does a developer just come in and say it is costing €200,000? I would probably have a good insight on the basis of it being a fact that once we go up in densities, etc., it is costly. At the same time, however, the Department has turned down a project priced at €130,000 per bed.

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: I am sorry, but I do not understand. That would have been value for money then.

Special Report No. 117 of the Comptroller Auditor General: University of Limerick Property Acquisitions in Limerick City (3 Oct 2024) Verona Murphy: Unfortunately, that is why we are where we are. It is the students who are being penalised.

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (3 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: This is my constituency so I am aware of it. I am wondering what the status of the premises is at this point. Can we write back and ask for that? On page 3, point No. 6 states that following the Department's determination, the carcases must be destroyed as a result of unsatisfactory food chain information. It goes on to say that the Department issued a food fraud notification on 20 June...

Catherine Murphy: I think she said five complaints. I talked to several. They talked about animals in the last throes. They have deep concerns about it. I am not convinced that we are getting to the bottom of this at all. There is the traceability issue, as the Chair raised. The Department says it is putting something in place.

Catherine Murphy: If a horse is injured in a racing yard and has to be put down, in most situations, that will happen on site. In most cases, they will not go elsewhere. It is probably the non-racing ones that we are looking at here.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (3 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Does the Chair remember that in the programme, they were talking about double chips and every horse having a chip? Every horse has a chip and passports are required for horses moving around. Maybe it is just within the racing area. I do not know why you would export them otherwise. I cannot understand why the traceability issue is such a big one.
