Spring Economic Statement (28 Apr 2015)

Catherine Murphy: I thank Deputy Mac Lochlainn for making that point. It is one we make during every budget and the situation is very insulting. I accept some of the things which were said in the spring statement. I accept that there is growth in the economy, and that is welcome.

Mortgage Arrears and Repossessions: Motion [Private Members] (28 Apr 2015)

Catherine Murphy: I commend my colleague in the Technical Group, Deputy Donnelly, on proposing workable solutions. The Government would be well advised to consider what has been proposed, although there will be a countermotion. People often view a house as a piece of property. It is one thing to lose a piece of property, but it is another to lose one's home. Every Deputy has met people who were about to...

Other Questions: Cycling Facilities Provision (29 Apr 2015)

Catherine Murphy: During the past 15 or 20 years, many cycleways have been constructed, some of which are not great because they mix buses and bicycles.

Other Questions: Cycling Facilities Provision (29 Apr 2015)

We need people to shift or mix their modes of...
