- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Ports Policy (4 May 2023)
Verona Murphy: I wish to ask the Minister of State what urgent actions the Department is taking to address the huge infrastructural deficits in our ports, particularly Rosslare Europort. What level of funding will the Department provide to ports to prepare for offshore renewable energy? Will he make a statement on the matter?
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Ports Policy (4 May 2023)
Verona Murphy: Far be it for me to tell any Deputy how to do their job, but I have been saying for nigh on eight years that the expansion of Dublin Port is an absolute scandal. Dublin Port is overdeveloped. The reconfiguring for Brexit made the port a total disaster from a movement perspective. From the EPA's perspective, it is already overdeveloped on the basis of expanding the most NOx emissions this...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Ports Policy (4 May 2023)
Verona Murphy: I do not mean to sound condescending but I have expertise in the area of over 30 years. I will say it again. The M50 is the most congested road in this country. The European model is for an outer ring road to be built. Every major city in Europe with a dense population - not just capital cities - has an outer ring road or relief road for what we call the M50. I leave home at 5 a.m. and...

Fishery Harbour Centres (4 May 2023) Verona Murphy: Is it primarily based on the advice of the Department? I mean no disrespect to Ministers but I am sure that, primarily, most of them do not have a clue about forestry. They get appointed to a ministry and fit into the role. Who is responsible for setting the targets?
