Ireland's Stability Programme Update April 2016: Statements (27 Apr 2016)

Catherine Murphy: The SPU outlines what we will tell the European institutions about the state of play in this country and what the risks are and how we will frame our budgets within the parameters that are permitted. However, I do not believe that we are giving them an accurate picture, and we can hardly expect them to understand the impact European policies are having in the country if we do not give them...

Irish Water: Statements (27 Apr 2016)

Catherine Murphy: What appears to be happening now is that the entity known as Irish Water is to remain and water charges are to be suspended. The word "abolition" does not come into the argument, but that is what the majority of Deputies have a mandate for. This was a dishonest enterprise from the outset. The aim was to turn citizens into customers and to transfer €11 billion of assets to Irish...

Estimates for Public Services 2016 (28 Apr 2016)

Catherine Murphy: No one in the Chamber will dispute that people doing the work of distributing and collecting the census forms should be paid. Of course they should be paid. What we are being asked to do is approve that, which I certainly have no difficulty doing. I wonder why that was not approved earlier and why we are doing it now when we knew the work would have to be done. Obviously, we all...

EU Migration and Refugee Crisis: Statements (28 Apr 2016)

Catherine Murphy: I very much welcome the fact we are having this debate today. It is incredibly important. It is very easy for us to hear snippets of information from the various sources about the extent of the migrant crisis and what it means for us in Ireland. However, at its most fundamental, it is not a migrant crisis or a refugee crisis but first and foremost a human crisis. The terms "migrant" and...

Business of Dáil (4 May 2016)

Catherine Murphy: I completely accept the points that were made about the importance of the issues and I do not have a difficulty at all with statements on agriculture or climate change being debated today. However, I raised an issue last week at the Whips' meeting about the Cregan inquiry which reported to the Taoiseach on 15 April. It was published last Friday night and I understand there is an extension of...

Agriculture: Statements (4 May 2016)

Catherine Murphy: The focus of attention in the debate today will inevitably be on the current problems relating to income in the agriculture sector. Given the importance of the farming and food sectors we need to consider and anticipate future risks.

Catherine Murphy: Recent events in the north inner city have been stark but, unfortunately, not unusual. The cycle keeps repeating, sometimes in a more dramatic fashion than other times. There is a certain element of compartmentalising this to a particular of the city and country and that resonates with what happened in the early 1980s, when the drug scourge started to become evident in that part of the...

Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government: Motion (6 May 2016)

Catherine Murphy: This is a proud day, personally, for the Taoiseach being re-elected, as well as a proud day for Fine Gael. I am sure it is also a proud day for those who have been appointed or reappointed to ministerial office and for those who will fill the Minister of State ranks.
