Moving on to capital expenditure, a beautiful new Garda station was recently built in County Wexford that came in under budget in excess of €500 million. However, it transpired early on that the Garda station is too small. What input has An Garda Síochána in the design? Does it take into account the expansion of the force in the future? How is...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (31 Mar 2022) Verona Murphy: I would like that figure, please. It strikes me as being extraordinary.

Looking at the headline figure, it is easy to see why there is a problem with the cost when one considers the average income. A number of problems have affected the childcare sector in recent years. In 2019, it...
- Vacant Properties: Motion [Private Members] (6 Apr 2022)
Verona Murphy: I am pleased to be associated with today's motion by the Regional Group on derelict and vacant properties. I reiterate our thanks to Cáit, our administrator.

The low usage charge applies when usage drops below 125 kWh. It is the practice of a State-owned body to penalise consumers for reducing their electricity consumption. The Minister currently encourages consumers to...
