Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: The witnesses have kind of answered it but there were a number of issues relating to the planning process and looking for that level of capacity. Do the witnesses not think that will be major odds into the future? Are they happy enough they are where they are? Is there nothing we need to fix or tweak?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Yes, and even beyond. We get the point about Eir. That is the shooting match. Is there anything else that can be fixed, even if it has less of a benefit?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: How quickly is it possible for it to come into play? This court case is going to be dealt with in a couple of weeks. I imagine negotiations with Eir do not happen over a fortnight.

Ruairí Ó Murchú: How long would that take? In a perfect world, it would be the end of the year. How long would it then take for-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: In a perfect world, then, it would be halfway through next year. Mr. Malone would probably not put money on that outcome.

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Adding Chefs to the Critical Skills List Now to Save Irish Hospitality: Discussion (7 Jul 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I was having my own technical difficulties. I thank the Cathaoirleach and the committee for dealing with this issue . Fair play to Mr. Lynn. This is an issue about which we have all heard at constituency level. I got it from Mr. Lynn. There are a number of hotels and other businesses that are under pressure and that would have contacted me in the past while. We all know the importance...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Adding Chefs to the Critical Skills List Now to Save Irish Hospitality: Discussion (7 Jul 2022)

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition on Adding Chefs to the Critical Skills List Now to Save Irish Hospitality: Discussion (7 Jul 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: In fairness, a promise has been made here to follow up on this and to ensure it is put before the correct people who can make it happen. Probably the best thing to do is that Mr. Lynn do a synopsis of what the actual needs are. Given that he is moving beyond needing chefs, it is those requirements. We know about all the businesses and industries that are crying out for people and cannot...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Food Security in the European Union: European Commission for Agriculture and Rural Development (13 Jul 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank Mr. Scannell. He has dealt with a fair amount of the subjects in which we are interested. Food security comes down to the work that has always been done at European level to ensure the supply and the quality. As Mr. Scannell said, supply on a world basis is not going to be the issue, but price will be a major one. What is the disaster reckoning and what plans are put in place if...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Food Security in the European Union: European Commission for Agriculture and Rural Development (13 Jul 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: We all know we are in a different place. In particular, there is the fact that the Russians are willing to threaten and use energy and food security. It is what Mr. Scannell said as well, that it is making preparations so that there is a greater level of resilience. That also relates to Europe. Are we talking about a possible different conversation around food security in particular, and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Joint Committee (13 Jul 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It is absolutely disgraceful that Aer Lingus is dodging its responsibility. We have all heard the stories. We have all been in contact with people who have had flights cancelled at the last minute. We have heard some of the reasons for this in the public domain, but we need to interrogate the matter further and discover how long we are going to be dealing with these sort of circumstances....
