- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (5 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: Some eight months ago, in November, a freak tornado swept through south County Wexford, in particular in areas like Clongeen and Foulkesmill, leaving a trail of pure and utter devastation. To date, the people affected by this event have been lied to by local Fianna Fáil councillors, continually fobbed off and passed from one Minister to the next with no sight of any meaningful...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Control of Firearms (5 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: I am sorry but the Minister of State has failed to address any of the questions contained within. He knows well that the only person who could have been regarded an expert resigned from that committee with the damning statement that he believed the committee was a farce. I do not know how the Minister of State, in an advisory capacity, can then use reports on foot of the only expert on that...

Verona Murphy: I wish to discuss the purpose for which the firearms expert committee was set up, why it was established and what were the wide-ranging matters relating to firearms on which the Minister of State needed advice. It is not long since I asked him a series of questions related to the firearms expert committee, which were mainly based on the serious concerns brought to me by members of...
- Matters Arising in RTÉ: Statements (4 Jul 2023)
Verona Murphy: I am sharing time with Deputy Shanahan. The last two weeks have been catastrophic, not only for RTÉ but for its staff and the public seeing the demise of our independent public broadcaster. We heard of a scheme designed to cover up payments to the presenter Ryan Tubridy, that if revealed, would contradict the fact that he was supposed to have taken an 11% pay cut. Thereafter the...
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ: Discussion (29 Jun 2023)
Verona Murphy: I thank the witnesses for their appearance. At a time when we have the greatest housing catastrophe in the history of our State, we have overspending in our Department of Health and there are no checks and balances, billions have been wasted annually. We have a Government that displays complete incompetence in the management of the public finances. This story comes out of a clear blue sky...
