Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (16 Jun 2021)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I commend a number of the amendments that have been put forward by my colleagues, Deputies O’Rourke, Cronin and Carthy. I will speak in favour of amendment No. 1 and beyond, that is, to those amendments that relate specifically to the just transition. I echo many of the calls in this House. We accept there must be moves made in the direction of dealing with the climate problem....

Common Agricultural Policy Reform: Motion [Private Members] (22 Apr 2021)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I commend Deputy Pringle and the Independent Group for bringing this motion forward. It is one of those rare occasions when one can agree with almost everything that is being said in this room from the point of view that there is a responsibility on the Government to deal with the INHFA. A number of us have been contacted by it and other farming organisations. It is a lack of trust that...

Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2020: Second Stage (11 Nov 2020)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. It has been stated by many people here that we are still dealing with Brexit and with a failure of British politics and in Ireland we feel that pain. We have no clarity.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Nov 2020)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: To follow up on that, the traffic light system will only work as a framework if it is combined with a testing facility. All of us can work out what the witnesses are not going to propose but at this point, the Department should be putting together something that can fit into a framework and part of that would need to be testing. The witnesses have had those discussions. At this stage, I...

Ban on Rent Increases Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (17 Sep 2020)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: Gabhaim buíochas. It will be a first if I do not go over time. I thank my colleague, Deputy Ó Broin, for bringing this forward. Everyone accepts we are dealing with a nightmare scenario as regards rentals. We have a situation that has been created by the fact that the State has failed to build houses. There was an acceptance that the private sector would sort things out and the...

Residential Tenancies and Valuation Bill 2020: Second Stage (28 Jul 2020)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: What I am about to say has all been said. It is straightforward. The Bill will fail to do what our Bill would have done, that is, to protect families, as my party colleague, Deputy Ward, stated. We needed an extension of the legislation as it existed. We needed to ensure there was a moratorium on all rent increases and that there would be no evictions, but we do not have that. 12...
