Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (22 Oct 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: We all know that there are significant issues around road safety. I will use the example of the N53, which is the Dundalk to Castleblayney road, because there have been a number of car smashes on it. I am talking about Sheelagh. There is basically a double turn-off. There is one for Ballybinaby and one for Crossmaglen. When I ask questions about this, I am generally told that the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (22 Oct 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I agree that at any engagement with world leaders of states involved in supplying weapons to Israel, we have to bring up the brutal genocide and unacceptability of any of that. I agree with what many Deputies have said about ensuring that we have repeal of the legacy Act and that we find a fit-for-purpose solution to provide truth and justice to the families of those killed in Dublin and...

Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: My intention was to go last so as not to take time from anybody. In fairness, Deputy Munster has dealt with a considerable amount of information on Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, including the warnings relating to the emergency department. On Thursday, 10 October, Fórsa, the INMO and SIPTU organised a large demonstration and protest outside the hospital, but that is not what we want to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (23 Oct 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I think we are all glad when meeting with any world leaders that the issue of the ongoing genocide is brought up. When we talk to colleagues across the EU, there is nobody in Ireland who is going to say they can understand in any way, shape or form their views regarding the maintenance and continuity of the EU-Israel association agreement as it exists. We need to see, in whatever way...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Climate Action Plan (23 Oct 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I made an oversight in my last interaction with the Taoiseach. While dealing with the UN, I should have also have raised the case of Private Seán Rooney. We have seen what is in the public domain. The family is concerned and frustrated with the lack of communication from the UN following requests from the coroner. This is something that needs to be addressed. I have spoken to the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (23 Oct 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I spoke to Taoiseach recently about autism units in Louth and Dundalk, and the fact there are 18 secondary schools in Louth and only half of them provide units. We could decide to hammer the schools but when we speak to schools such as the Marist, it will speak about going over and back with the NCSE and the Department and say that it has been far from perfect. With regard to primary...

Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (23 Oct 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It looks as though we will have a good deal of agreement on support for this legislation. We have spoken about the need for amendments but there has been some failure. As an example, yesterday I visited Clan na Gael's GAA club near Cox's Demesne in Dundalk, where there was a group called Maxi's Law, which is named after the unfortunate death by suicide of Mark “Maxi” Kavanagh,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Citizens' Attitude to Democracy and the Rule of Law: TASC (23 Oct 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: This is an issue right across the board. What is democracy? If it is just about elections, we can look at the example in America and the requirements that must be met to be a candidate for president. It is the same at the lower levels if we were to talk about the Senate and Congress races and the lobby groups involved. I am not entirely sure this is exactly what anyone in Greece, where...
