Report of the Expert Group on the Judgment in the A, B and C v. Ireland Case: Statements (Resumed) (6 Dec 2012)

Catherine Murphy: A small but significant number of women each year find themselves in circumstances where, because of an underlying medical condition, the continuation of a pregnancy would involve a serious risk to their health or life or both.

Transport (Córas Iompair Éireann and Subsidiary Companies Borrowings) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Second Stage (7 Dec 2012)

Catherine Murphy: We are debating this issue today because there will be a requirement to increase the limit on non-capital borrowing for CIE. Not doing so means we will not have a public transport service next year. In many ways, we do not have much choice but some issues relating to the filing of accounts and the delay in doing so and a business plan are of key concern because it is taxpayers' money and it...

Social Welfare Bill 2012: Second Stage (11 Dec 2012)

Catherine Murphy: I met a woman outside Leinster House earlier today who told me she had less freedom than an inmate in Mountjoy Prison.

He requires adult services, but nothing is available to him. Any home help the family has...

Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Select Sub-Committee on the Environment, Community and Local Government: Estimates for Public Services 2012
Vote 25 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Supplementary) (11 Dec 2012)

Catherine Murphy: My questions pick up where Deputy Stanley finished on oversight. It would be quite useful for us to get the detail. We are informed that the proposed contribution will enable fulfilment of contractual obligations arising in 2012. I would like to know what the contractual obligations are. Unless we have that detail, which may well be available but which I have not seen, it is difficult to...

Vote 25 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Supplementary) (11 Dec 2012)

Catherine Murphy: Was it? No doubt the Minister had an obligation to the commitment in terms of the climate change element of whatever the Department oversees, but when one sees a man dying in the doorway, as somebody did on Friday last, one wants to ensure that whatever is available in that homeless fund is spent. I merely draw attention to the matter because that happened last year and I would not like to...

Vote 25 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Supplementary) (11 Dec 2012)

Catherine Murphy: The broader parameters of the budget are the €895 million, which on 27 November was the detail of expenditure from the Department, not all of which had been fully committed. It is valid to ask whether all of that will be spent by the end of the year or whether there will be a further meeting next week to deal with other issues. The spending of this money is not a private process...
