Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Public Expenditure and Reform: Freedom of Information Bill 2013: Committee Stage (Resumed) (13 Nov 2013)

Dara Murphy: The document the Minister gave us is interesting. The request selected by Deputy Boyd Barrett is interesting. Some of the questions in FOI/2013/1882 are linked. Given that it is being re-examined, could the Minister take this as an example? I estimate that the cost of the request would be somewhere between €60 and €90. It would be interesting when the Minister comes up with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Forthcoming ECOFIN Council: Discussion with Minister for Finance (13 Nov 2013)

Dara Murphy: I thank the Minister for his attendance. It is obvious from the agenda that issues relating to banking union are forward-looking. There has been much discussion about supervision and resolution. I have a question about a matter that is rarely discussed.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Forthcoming ECOFIN Council: Discussion with Minister for Finance (13 Nov 2013)

Dara Murphy: The Minister mentioned that there will be a discussion on the broader macroeconomic situation. I am aware that Commissioner Ollie Rehn commented in The Economist magazine last week.

Youth Employment: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (20 Nov 2013)

Dara Murphy: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this very important Private Members' Bill.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Social Dimension of Economic and Monetary Union: Discussion with European Commission (20 Nov 2013)

Dara Murphy: I thank Mr. Richelle for coming here today. It is very interesting that we are the first committee to host his group. Focusing on the social or societal element of monetary union is a back to basics issue. We would all have assumed that any actions in European that ultimately benefit society are being taken. If we compare the ECB with the Federal Reserve, the latter has a much stronger...
