Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: To be fair, I agree with Mr. Gloster that this is a policy and legislative matter, on which I am working. However, I would expect him to advise the Government it is not sustainable. When a policy or legislation is introduced, whether by my group in the Dail or whomever else, it needs to be accepted and it needs to be part of a plan.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: When the Taoiseach says it depends on the Government, he must acknowledge that he is the Taoiseach. The buck stops with him. He is the line manager of the Minister for Health. He says what comes and what goes. This has been in train for almost ten years. We now know that, according to Dr. Mick Molloy, the 97-bed block is not even sufficient capacity for the growth rate of the population...

All the politicians in County...

Transport Support Schemes for People with Disabilities: Motion [Private Members] (4 May 2023)

Verona Murphy: It is time to improve access to public transport for people with disabilities and to invest in transport infrastructure that considers and supports accessibility, mobility and inclusion for people with disabilities.
