Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs (30 Jun 2022) Catherine Murphy: I have got people who have been waiting months. It was said there are very small numbers. I do not suppose I have an exclusive group in my area that is disproportionate in the context of long delays. They have found it impossible to track matters. There was a time when the site ceased to function. The information I am getting just does not pan out with me in comparison with the people...

Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs (30 Jun 2022) Catherine Murphy: I acknowledged the online improvements. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out why I am getting so many of these queries. They are not from all over the country, rather, they are from my constituency. What the Department officials told us just does not tally with my experience in terms of the timeline for some of the applications that I have been engaging on. The officials have...

Catherine Murphy: Has the Taoiseach read the amendments?
- Confidence in Government: Motion (12 Jul 2022)
Catherine Murphy: It is impossible to vote confidence in this Government based on any objective analysis of its performance to date. This is a Government that is happy to acknowledge the vast number of people enduring serious financial pressure from an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis, yet it has consistently refused to introduce an emergency budget to provide workers and their families with interim relief...
- Confidence in Government: Motion (12 Jul 2022)
Catherine Murphy: -----and the continued long leasing of housing, which is a very expensive way of delivering housing, without there being an asset at the end, it has turned social housing into an attractive and profitable product. The €4 billion shrinks to nearly €2 billion when we make allowances for all of this. The direct builds of local authorities are in many cases turnkeys rather than...
- Confidence in Government: Motion (12 Jul 2022)
Catherine Murphy: Once the Government had the numbers, the tone completely changed in terms of the Business Committee, guillotines, and how we do business in the House. It matters because that changed the nature of the debate in the House and was, I believe, a big mistake. The Dáil does not have control of the agenda; the Government has taken control of it. It is for those and a myriad of other...
- Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space: Motion (12 Jul 2022)
Catherine Murphy: This has been a very unusual evening in the week prior to recess. An hour ago, we had a full Chamber and now we are speaking about outer space.
- Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space: Motion (12 Jul 2022)
Catherine Murphy: I congratulate the UCD researchers on their work on EIRSAT-1. They have been working on the satellite for approximately five years. I wish them the best of luck with the launch and its operation. This will be Ireland's first satellite and it is unlikely to be the last. There are no international regulations for the operation of satellites in orbit. There is no traffic management system...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Jul 2022)
Catherine Murphy: This week we are seeing a new low when it comes to rushed, reckless, haphazard and confused legislation from the Government. Last September the housing committee was asked to do pre-legislative scrutiny of the Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2022. It ran to 18 pages. More than ten months later, late last Thursday, an amended version of the Bill was circulated by...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Jul 2022)
Catherine Murphy: The Taoiseach talks about due process in An Bord Pleanála. Regarding the amendment the Government has now withdrawn under pressure, and it is not the only one, why would the Government even think of bringing that forward? It beggars belief when the Taoiseach is talking about due process. This is not the proper way to deal with legislation. We have a Second Stage, a Committee Stage...

Catherine Murphy: I picked that tweet up in exactly the same way. I would have been one of the people to assume that, for example, a service charge was the same as making it easy to give a tip. I think many people have been under the same impression. I picked that tweet up in exactly the same way, in that it was a loophole. It is important that there is the prospect of reviewing this. I also would have...
