- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Challenges for Ports arising from Brexit: Discussion (2 Dec 2020)
Verona Murphy: The significance of this is that Dublin Port Tunnel cannot be blocked up, legally. I understand there is a traffic management plan to deal with that, which is wholly inefficient. It is not good enough if someone is inside the port and looking for someone outside the port, or vice versa. My recommendation to the committee is that there is a need to have one person heading up a traffic...

Not only must they deal with the abuse as it is occurring, which must be a devastating experience, but they must also get the help they...

It is undeniable that Covid-19 has had an impact on the mental health of many people, and this has taken many different forms, including loneliness, social isolation, stress, financial pressures, anxiety. These are just some examples. My colleagues and I, in the Regional Group, are very pleased that the...
