Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Jan 2021)

Verona Murphy: What the Taoiseach needs to understand is that the only reality people will face with Brexit is a 50% increase in the cost of a shopping basket, particularly low-income earners. The Taoiseach tells me we have an increased capacity in direct ferry services, which he said was not required when he endorsed an Irish Maritime Development Office report. That report was categorically held up by...

Brexit (Foreign Affairs): Statements (21 Jan 2021)

Verona Murphy: Having been involved in the Brexit process from the start, the Minister is only too well aware of the detrimental impact of Brexit on the island of Ireland. Indeed, both he and I attended many a Brexit forum detailing to larger audiences throughout the country just how bad it would be with tariffs. The deal, as we will call it, may have avoided tariffs and, to the Minister’s mind,...

Covid-19 (Special Educational Needs Provision): Statements (21 Jan 2021)

Verona Murphy: I am slightly lost for words, which the Ceann Comhairle knows is not my style. I have heard it all and everybody has heard it. I do not believe for a minute that either the Minister or Minister of State has turned a deaf ear or do not feel what is being said or have not done their best. Equally, I do not believe our schoolteachers or special needs assistants have done so. I have never...

Verona Murphy: Do we have any intention of moving the National Security Analysis Centre, NSAC, from the Department of the Taoiseach and, if so, will it be any time soon? To go back, I asked what was our most recent cyber attack. I do not need a definitive answer as to exactly what was attacked. What was the most recent attack and when was it?

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Jan 2021)

Verona Murphy: The county of Wexford is no exception when it comes to fly-tipping and illegal dumping. It is destroying our beautiful Model County’s landscape from Gorey to Enniscorthy, and New Ross to Wexford. Our county council does what it can but is being hamstrung by GDPR legislation preventing it from using CCTV footage in many instances where it wishes to bring a prosecution for enforcement....

Covid-19 (Social Protection): Statements (28 Jan 2021)

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Jan 2021)

Verona Murphy: I have one question. I refer to significant non-compliant procurement.

Did he state the value was €575,000 in the Laois and Offaly ETB?
