- Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Select Sub-Committee on the Environment, Community and Local Government: Urban Regeneration and Housing Bill 2015: Committee Stage (30 Jun 2015)
Catherine Murphy: It is quite extraordinary how we can be told that issues do not come within the scope of the Bill and yet in the next few days, we will deal with the absolute converse where we will change the Title of legislation and rush it through. There is hypocrisy about what does and does not come within the scope of legislation. In some cases, that could be extremely frustrating.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Electoral Commission in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (30 Jun 2015)
Catherine Murphy: I know Dr. Weeks confined himself to voter education and research. I agree with him completely because I do not think there has ever been an election after which people have not asked me whether they voted correctly. The very fact that adults who have been voting all their lives are asking that question shows the need that is not being met. Youngsters who have gone through secondary school...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: National Library of Ireland: Chairperson Designate (20 Oct 2015)
Catherine Murphy: I welcome Mr. Shovlin. I am very glad to see he cares about the National Library. I do not imagine he would have been on the board if he did not. It is one of my own favourite places in the country. It is a real national treasure and Mr. Shovlin is quite right that it is under-appreciated. In his opening statement, Mr. Shovlin refers to the legacy of under-investment. He comes from a...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Policy Issues arising from Cemetery Management Bill 2013: Discussion (17 Nov 2015)
Catherine Murphy: If a regulator was put in place, it would extend to the entire country. That has the potential to increase costs for people. At the moment, if I hear complaints about anything, they are about the cost of funerals rather than that of erecting headstones. Funerals take place at a time when people cannot shop around, which is the point that was made by Ms Goggin. We must be very careful not...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Review of Estimates for Public Services 2015
Vote 34 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (24 Nov 2015) Catherine Murphy: The Minister anticipates 64% of the Department’s overall allocation for 2015 to have been spent to date. What will not be spent and under what headings before the end of the year? The area of housing accounts for 51% of the overall allocation for the Department. It is pretty difficult to scrutinise this when one is only counting one part of the equation and when the other side is...
