Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2024)

Eugene Murphy: I want to pay tribute to the late Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh who was an institution in this country. It is probably not that long ago since he became the main broadcaster on sports for RTÉ - it was only in 1984 or 1985 when he took all over from Mícheál O'Hehir who stepped down and retired at that stage. Bhí suim mhór ag Mícheál sa teanga. He...

Seanad: Charities (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (25 Jun 2024)

Eugene Murphy: I may not use the ten minutes. Fianna Fáil welcomes the support for the Bill. We all know that charities play an integral role in the provision of services to our communities. Where would we be as a society without all the work that is done in areas of great need, whether it is cancer, heart diseases or whatever else, in a voluntary capacity up and down this country? Those people...
