- Committee on Public Petitions: An Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission Annual Report 2021: Discussion (1 Jun 2023)
Eugene Murphy: I understand that and I respect the Chair. How does a situation arise where we wake up to the 7 a.m. news and at the top of it is a story that a garda is going to be prosecuted? Where does that come from? My understanding is that the garda or his family did not know.

- Committee on Public Petitions: An Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission Annual Report 2021: Discussion (1 Jun 2023)
Eugene Murphy: I admire Mr. Justice MacCabe's honesty. I understand that GSOC has a very difficult job to do and I am sure the witnesses are all very honourable people who want to see that fair play is given to everybody but it is as well to be honest here. The perception among the public is that once it hears on the news that GSOC is involved, the Garda is guilty. I am sorry to say that this is the...

Eugene Murphy: I find this engagement to be very important. I acknowledge the openness shown by Ms Woods and the other witnesses. I am sorry if some of the questions were a little hairy but that is the nature of the beast, as they say. I asked a question about gardaí who have been suspended and whether they had been suspended for minor issues. What would be the most minor cases? To revert to what...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Jun 2023)
Eugene Murphy: I join with others in paying my respects to the late Paul Coghlan. He was a joy to know. He was a humorous and kind man. He had a good outlook on life and always saw the bright side of things, no matter what uncertainty. It was a privilege to have been here with him for a while. I got to know him over the years because I knew him before I came into the House. I also express my support...

Eugene Murphy: It is always good to see young people from the schools. I have a school in from my own region, in Dangan, Kilmore, County Roscommon, today. The ushers of this House do a wonderful job with all our schools, giving fantastic tours with enthusiasm. They are lovely people who go out of their way to help everybody. I know all the schools feel the same because they tell me. I say “Well...

This will be available to suckler farmers, which is good news and will be very important in terms of payments. I know the farming community for a number of years have been saying, in regard to efficiencies and being able to deal with costs, that they would want approximately...

It is an interesting debate to be part of. Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire agus roimh a chuid oifigigh go dtí an Teach. With all my colleagues I welcome this Bill. This is a really significant day not alone for farmers but...
