- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Ports Policy (4 May 2023)
Verona Murphy: Far be it for me to tell any Deputy how to do their job, but I have been saying for nigh on eight years that the expansion of Dublin Port is an absolute scandal. Dublin Port is overdeveloped. The reconfiguring for Brexit made the port a total disaster from a movement perspective. From the EPA's perspective, it is already overdeveloped on the basis of expanding the most NOx emissions this...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Ports Policy (4 May 2023)
Verona Murphy: I do not mean to sound condescending but I have expertise in the area of over 30 years. I will say it again. The M50 is the most congested road in this country. The European model is for an outer ring road to be built. Every major city in Europe with a dense population - not just capital cities - has an outer ring road or relief road for what we call the M50. I leave home at 5 a.m. and...

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Verona Murphy: I thank the witnesses for coming in. I have so many questions, I could probably use up all the time by myself. I will have to leave the meeting at 10.30 a.m. but I will return. Who sets targets for the forestry programme?

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Verona Murphy: Is it primarily based on the advice of the Department? I mean no disrespect to Ministers but I am sure that, primarily, most of them do not have a clue about forestry. They get appointed to a ministry and fit into the role. Who is responsible for setting the targets?

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Verona Murphy: Is there any offset in relation to peat soils and what we are sequestering and then the importation of wood chip from Brazil in vast quantities? Is there any offset? Does anybody take into consideration where we stop one line - for instance in peat, never mind the wood chip? When we are importing peat to replace what we have stopped harvesting, is there a correlation within the Department...
