Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on Lil Reds Legacy Sepsis Awareness Campaign: Mr. Joseph Hughes and Irish Sepsis Foundation (2 Mar 2023)

Eugene Murphy: I was saddened listening to Mr. Hughes's story. He was very brave to come before the committee and give such a wonderful presentation, considering he and his wife and family have lost their beloved son. They have my sympathies. They have a really good advocate in Ms O'Mahony, who seems to be so committed and dedicated to this. Deputy McAuliffe and I will certainly bring forward this...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Development of Sheep Sector: Discussion (8 Mar 2023)

Eugene Murphy: Tá fáilte roimh go léir an tráthnóna seo. A lot of what I want to ask has been asked so I am not going to repeat the questions and Senator Paul Daly's questions clarified quite a lot. I have always been supportive of farmers, as the witnesses will know, and I have been very supportive of farmers in Roscommon, and I spoke to quite a few farmers at the day out there....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Development of Sheep Sector: Discussion (8 Mar 2023)

Eugene Murphy: That should be supported and like others, including the IFA, I want to support it. Although I do not want the witnesses to form an opinion that I am against it, I have a question as to the difficulty of selling the lamb, which Senator Daly asked about. Can this be marketed in such a way that it can be sold?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Development of Sheep Sector: Discussion (8 Mar 2023)

Eugene Murphy: I have one question for Mr. Burke or Mr. Comiskey. We see that the spring lamb period is the time that farmers expect a bit of extra money. Do the witnesses see that being affected this year by the crisis? If that was to happen, it would be quite serious.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)

Eugene Murphy: On that point, to be honest, we have had cases involving front-line workers where the RSA has been very good when we explained the cases to it over recent years. However in some of those cases, particularly for driving trucks or lorries, it is affecting businesses and they are frustrated with that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays Affecting Car Tests and Driver Tests: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)

Eugene Murphy: I appreciate that and the RSA is obviously trying to fix the situation and that is very good news. I hope it continues to improve.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Mar 2023)

Eugene Murphy: Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh. I must say you are looking well after your trip. I hope you enjoyed the weekend. I am one who very much believes that we get great mileage out of St. Patrick's Day across the world. I know some people have a different view, but we really get huge publicity across the world, and I think our Ministers and various leaders, including the Cathaoirleach,...

Seanad: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (22 Mar 2023)

Eugene Murphy: Before we commence, I remind Members that a Senator may speak only once on Report Stage, except the proposer of an amendment who may reply to the discussion on the amendment. On Report Stage each non-Government amendment must be seconded. The Minister of State has informed me that he may be called for votes in the Dáil. In that case we will need to suspend. Amendment No. 1 is in the...

Eugene Murphy: The Senator has made his case very strongly. I call the Minister of State to respond.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (29 Mar 2023)

Eugene Murphy: I support Senator Kyne on the matter of school meals. I raised a Commencement matter before the House, and as I think other Senators did, and the results of this need to be dealt with as quickly as possible. As Senator Kyne has rightly said, people who provide the service are opting out. I was talking to some people providing that service. It is incredible. The reality is that they are...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Mar 2023)

Eugene Murphy: I agree with Senator Kyne in the relation to the sheep farmers. He made a very fair case about the concerns they have now. There is an issue. I acknowledge that the Minister has spoken to us about this issue. I spoke to him last week and he is going to bring a package forward. It would be a good idea if he came before the House to have a discussion about this. He knows the sector very...
