Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (8 Nov 2022)

Eugene Murphy: I thank the Minister of State for her response. I remember a number of weeks after the announcement being contacted by some of those people in Ballinasloe, family members of the contract cleaners. I sought clarification. The clear answer I got at that time was that staff of any company the HSE contracted to do work on the hospitals were eligible. I think they will come under that. I...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Infectious Diseases (8 Nov 2022)

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Nov 2022)

Eugene Murphy: I will today deal with something that is very topical. Because of his Roscommon connections, the Deputy Leader will know what I am going to talk about, which is Lough Funshinagh and the serious flooding in south Roscommon. The callows area along the River Shannon has flooded for years and years. Part of Senator Kyne's county in south Galway also floods very badly. I posted a video on...

The matters Senators Doherty and Craughwell tried to get across are...
