Verona Murphy: We may still have homelessness and a housing list not seeing any movement. It is what we are here to discuss and I thought it was part of the remit of HBFI to get those houses not just built but occupied. If they are not occupied, it defeats the purpose of HBFI.

National Driver Licence Service: Motion [Private Members] (2 Mar 2022)

Verona Murphy: I thank the Acting Chairman, and I thank the Independent Group for tabling the motion. It allows us to ask the Minister to account for what I believe is an underhand and discriminatory reduction in the services of the NDLS. Decisions made in the context of Covid-19 were supposed to be temporary measures, supposedly made in the public interest to protect customers and staff in a variety of...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Flood Risk Management (1 Mar 2022)

Verona Murphy: With all due respect, I appreciate that but the Minister of State will have heard me say on that same occasion that if the process is open-ended there will be no definitive timeline as to when it ends and it could go on forever. The Minister of State said on that day that there is nothing we can do, but there is something we can do. We are legislators. We can ensure there is a timeline on...

Verona Murphy: The flooding disaster that affected the county of Wexford last Christmas, particularly in Enniscorthy and Bridgetown among many other areas, made people homeless for a short time and put Wexford County Council workers, other rescue workers and many businesses at risk.

During the Minister of...

Health Waiting Lists: Motion [Private Members] (1 Mar 2022)

Verona Murphy: I thank Sinn Féin for bringing forward this motion and giving me the opportunity to speak. Despite all of the billions of euro spent year after year on the health service, the waiting list problem is getting worse. In a speech on the Appropriation Bill in December last, I highlighted the degree to which our spending on health has increased over the past six years. In 2016, it stood at...

Support for the Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity of Ukraine: Motion (1 Mar 2022)

Verona Murphy: I am sharing time with Deputies Berry and Tóibín. I welcome the proposal to allow Ukrainian citizens to come to Europe and be a part of the communities as though they were EU citizens. Many Ukrainians already live among us and, indeed, play a big part in our day-to-day lives through work, sport and many of our social circles. Since March last, there has been a call on the...
