Ruairí Ó Murchú: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach. agus cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe go léir. Usually I make an apology if I am going to repeat myself but I am definitely going to repeat what has already been said. The need for guidelines is obvious.

Child and Youth Mental Health: Statements (29 Feb 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It goes without saying that we are disappointed by what happened to Deputy Ward's legislation on the regulation of CAMHS. The Minister of State has heard many Deputies, and will hear many more, refer to the necessity of such regulation. We were not shocked, but I am not sure we are willing to accept the Bill being kicked down the road. That is done to many Bills, but we all accept that...

Ruairí Ó Murchú: We all understand the importance of the issue we are dealing with as regards patents. I am fairly sure I will mispronounce that word a number of times before the end, so I apologise in advance. The fact is that this is quite complex for many people. It is going to be incredibly technical. We all know the issues that have existed with referendums for a long time and from time to time,...

Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): General Practitioner Services (29 Feb 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I welcome the news in relation to the training of GPs but we need to accept that the GP system has changed somewhat. GP practices were generally private. When we were children growing up, GPs were probably available to people 24-7. They ran their own business, did their own administration and knew everything that was wrong with people and all their family members and everyone else. We are...

Protection of Employees (Trade Union Subscriptions) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (28 Feb 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank Deputy Joan Collins for introducing this sensible legislation. Deputy Ó Laoghaire put it perfectly in explaining how easy it was for him to pay his union subscriptions. We have all read the history books and we all know the story of what happened in 1913. We know how bad things would be if we did not have the power of unions and collective bargaining. We are talking about...

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Gabhaim buíochas le gach duine anseo. I was here and listened to the rest as I pretended to be in another meeting while paying attention. Our guests have dealt with a great deal of it. We are talking about a roadway, pathway and inclusion across the board. I am talking about those who are facilitated right through to, for example, Dundalk Institute of Technology, DkIT, where there is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: An Inclusive Education for an Inclusive Society: Discussion (28 Feb 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: To some degree, the witnesses have dealt with the SET issue. Scoil Mhuire na nGael came to me nearly straightaway, as did Scoil Naomh Lorcan. One of those is a school in Dundalk near the estate in which I live and the other is out in Omeath. I have also had contact from Scoil Dairbhre national school. I would be afraid to talk to anymore principals on the basis of what it is. They are...
