Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Coach Sector: Discussion (19 Oct 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: No, I am talking about facilitating coach operators generally from Dundalk, Drogheda and other areas within my constituency, which is why I am concerned about them. In fairness, it was brought to my attention recently by those involved in the business and also by people who use the service. They both came up with the same solution.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Oct 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank the Chair. It does not come as any shock that a lot of the witnesses have autistic children or relatives. My son is autistic so I have skin in the game, as they say. We can get into the ins and outs of the assessments of need and the therapies that are not happening but listening to the HSE last week, the one message is that it is not likely to be able to offer the service that is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Oct 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Go raibh maith agaibh. I am afraid to speak at this stage. That was very clearly put and in fairness to Deputy Buckley beforehand, he said what needed to be said about Dr. Crawford and Ms McSherry and the fabulous work that is being done. Dr. Crawford spoke about the necessary legislative answer. We are aware of the whole issue in relation to schools, which is the preparatory work...

Creeslough, County Donegal: Statements (8 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Without doubt, Creeslough was visited by a tsunami of pain, grief and tragedy. We all watched and waited and, unfortunately, our worst fears were realised as the truth came out about the people who died and the families who were impacted. I do not think any of us will forget that. I was involved in many community activities in County Louth the following day and all people wanted to talk...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Broadband Plan (8 Nov 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: We are in a better place in the context of hitting targets. The Minister of State has said it is a seven-year project. There are still people who are several years away from getting broadband. We know part of the real solution lies with Eir, in that its make-ready product needs to be provided to NBI. The other thing is the possibility of the self-install product that NBI is looking to get...
