Ruairí Ó Murchú: 62. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade what engagement he and his Department have had with their EU counterparts and Cabinet colleagues in the past 12 months in relation to the issue of cross-Border remote workers, with particular emphasis on the issues emerging whereby some of these workers are unable to avail of bank card facilities in the opposite jurisdiction; and if he...

Our Rural Future Policy: Statements (14 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: We need to have a conversation about rural living and what our rural future is going to be. There are certain benefits from what has been done through remote working hubs, although remote working has thrown up certain issues. In my constituency, thanks to partition, there are certain jobs people cannot do remotely because of differences between the taxation systems in the two jurisdictions....

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (14 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I want to revisit the issue of housing adaptation grants. Louth County Council is not dealing with any new ones and is just working through its backlog.

The Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, spoke about the fact there needs to be, and there is going to be, a review of these adaptation grants for those with disabilities and older people with...

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I have just come from the launch of the report by the Joint Committee on Autism. It contains 109 recommendations. Some of the issues have already been brought up here. The idea of this report is that we set in train a framework and that we put all the pieces in place with universal design for society and that we offer cradle to grave services for autistic people and their families which...

National Minimum Wage (Equal Pay for Young Workers) Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (14 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I will also follow up on the point that was made regarding the importance of unions. We have seen the work that unions have done over many years with regard to dealing with exploitative practices. However, I do not think it is good enough that we are getting another case of kicking the can down the road. We will see what will actually happen over that 12-month period. We all accept that...

Public Health (Tobacco and Nicotine Inhaling Products) Bill 2023: Second Stage (13 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: We support the Bill, as do a lot of other people, on the basis that it is dealing with an anomaly that has existed whereby it has not been illegal to sell vapes to children. We are aware that a huge number of vendors have been very careful in how they operate and all the rest of it. We have probably all looked at vaping through a particular prism. We have all seen where it has been...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Cross-Border Co-operation (13 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: We welcome much of what has happened as a result of the shared island unit. I have a particular view that the shared island dialogue in general terms needs to be expanded. We accept we are on a certain constitutional trajectory on this island and it is a matter of us recognising that. We have a particular issue at the minute in that we have political drift. We need to ensure that is not...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Strategies (13 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: The NRP deals with housing and Housing for All. I again want to raise the issue of housing adaptation grants. The fact is that Louth County Council is not accepting applications for these grants at present is because it does not have the funding it needs. The Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy O'Donnell, has spoken of a review. From the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Council of Europe (13 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I add my voice to what Deputy Conway-Walsh has said. We are hardly shocked that the Council of Europe has serious concern over the legacy Bill that has been proposed by the British Government. I have often said that the British Government introduced this Bill in order that it will not have to deal with the reality of what it did in the North and the dirty war it prosecuted in Ireland,...

Joint Committee On Health: Services and Supports for People with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Discussion (13 Jun 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I welcome all of the witnesses. I thank the Chair. As Senator Carrigy knows, most Chairs have to provide me with a fair amount of leeway. I pay special thanks to Mr. Doogan, Ms Riordan and Dr. McDonnell. I apologise for arriving late. I had another meeting and the witnesses can throw stuff at me afterwards on anything I have missed. I should put on the record that my wife works for...
