Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Film Sector Tax Credits: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It definitely does. For that intellectual investment, it is about ensuring intellectual payment for the likes of Mr. O'Brien, as well as for the taxpayer, rather than the money going into a DAC, the DAC disappearing and the value being owned by an entity we are not sure of. We should make sure we do the due diligence so actors are looked after, as well as the taxpayer, and ensure we have a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Conference on the Future of Europe and the General Affairs Council: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I add my voice in expressing sympathy to the family of Rory Mason. Everyone was very taken with his father's tribute this morning. In fairness, he involved himself in a fight that was not his and he paid the ultimate price. We discussed some of these points in the context of the Conference on the Future of Europe. That was definitely a process that improved as it went. It started with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Conference on the Future of Europe and the General Affairs Council: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I again offer my words of sympathy to the family of Rory Mason. We were all very taken with the sentiments that his dad expressed in the tribute we heard earlier today. As I said, the world has changed considerably over the last period and we are all having very different conversations and worries that we would have a number of years ago. I refer to interaction with other European...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Issues Surrounding Water Quality and Supply: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I imagine that the direction in which I intend to go will not come as complete shock. Water quality has been a huge issue in Dundalk for a considerable amount of time and in the mid- to north-Louth area in particular. It is fair to say that people have even to a degree gotten used to having brown water. I was in a chip shop the other day and somebody asked me if I wanted tap water or...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Issues Surrounding Water Quality and Supply: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I will be very brief. Communications is a difficulty, and it is an area in which I think there is still much improvement to be made. This flushing process is not yet over, and the date of 14 September was not met. That is fine, but people need to know that and then they will accept that. The last correspondence I have relates to 14 September, which includes, as I said, an incomplete list...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (11 Oct 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Carlinn Hall in Dundalk is one of these communal district heating systems with in or around 200 homes. The fact is that at the minute, the prices have risen. We are now talking approximately 42 cent per kWh. Frontline Energy provides heat. I have dealt with the Ministers and the Department. It looks like the long-term fix is the possibility of biomass or geothermal energy. We need to...

Disability Services: Motion [Private Members] (11 Oct 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: What we are talking about here are rights for citizens and be able to deliver a service. We are literally talking about a cradle-to-grave care. We all accept that this has been lacking. We could all reiterate some of the points made about psychology services, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, and physiotherapy. We all know the waiting lists. Everyone has spoken about the...
