Matt Carthy: 5. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the recruitment target for the Defence Forces; and the number who were inducted and the number who left the Defence Forces in each year from 2020 to 2024. [42033/24]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: This question is to adjudicate the performance of the Government in respect of the Defence Forces. Sometimes the Tánaiste says there is unfair criticism. It would be important to set out for the Dáil, in each year of this Government from 2020, the target recruitment for the Defence Forces and, in each year, how many were actually inducted and how many left, in other words, the net...

A table containing the requested induction and discharges figures for each year from 2020 to 2024 will be provided to the Deputy. I have acknowledged in the past the recruitment and retention challenges in...

Matt Carthy: It is hard to ask a supplementary question when I do not have the substantive response to the question I asked. I take the Tánaiste's commitment to provide the precise figures. Here is what we do know from the Tánaiste's response. There are currently fewer than 7,500 members of our Defence Forces, 2,000 below the establishment figure and a whopping 4,000 below the two-figure...

Verona Murphy: Good morning everyone. The witnesses are all welcome. I will stay with this issue for a minute. To go back to the consultancy costs, IT expenses totalled approximately €475,000.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Charities Regulatory Authority (17 Oct 2024)

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Charities Regulatory Authority (17 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: As regards the report carried out on the Peter McVerry Trust, a list of recommendations was made, one of which pertains to the Charities Regulator, namely, recommendation No. 32. That recommendation states that fundraising will be receipted appropriately and in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Regulator. That status of that recommendation is in progress. What does that mean?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Charities Regulatory Authority (17 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: Has the Charities Regulator had any communication with the trust with regard to action 32?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Charities Regulatory Authority (17 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: If I am interpreting this correctly, any money contributed to the Peter McVerry Trust from any member of the public will be receipted. Therefore, if I give €10 to the Peter McVerry Trust, I must receive a receipt. The Charities Regulator does not know whether that is happening.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Charities Regulatory Authority (17 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: Given that this is a recommendation, when will the Charities Regulator inquire as to whether that is actually being carried out?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Charities Regulatory Authority (17 Oct 2024)
