Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Road Safety Authority (27 Jun 2024)

Verona Murphy: I want to ask about roadside inspections for foreign registered vehicles. We had a very serious issue, and Mr. Waide may or may not be aware of it, in the road to the port of Rosslare. Seven foreign-registered vehicles with eastern European registrations were pulled for inspection and were deemed to be so unroadworthy that they could not even leave the area to drive to a test centre. If...

Verona Murphy: What is the cost of the roadside check? Where do we bring our testers from? For instance, do they come from Donegal if they are doing an inspection in Rosslare? Is there a strategic approach to keep costs down, such as by having vehicle testers in Rosslare who are from Wexford, etc.?

Verona Murphy: Can I just make one statement?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Road Safety Authority (27 Jun 2024)

Verona Murphy: It is relevant to the Department more so, and the RSA. In relation to the bus drivers, it is pertinent that many parents are working and instead of a bus driver collecting their children from school - this is all to do with the tender process of Bus Éireann - they have their parents collecting them, many of whom are in their 80s. It is craziness. We need to be practical. We need to...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Jul 2024)

Verona Murphy: Domestic violence and child abuse concerns that were recently raised in a Department of Justice report found that assessors do not have adequate training or accreditation to properly assess family violence. I am dealing with a case where a family were told last year by Tusla that they should not allow recommended access to go ahead. One parent was told by Tusla that it should not go ahead,...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Jul 2024)

Verona Murphy: A magnificent new building in Maudlintown, County Wexford, is soon to be the new home of a women’s refuge. If I could get a response to my question in writing, I would be happy. Is there a guarantee that funding will be available to provide safe and accessible services to women and children who are victims and survivors of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence? Will there be...

Tackling All Forms of Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence: Statements (3 Jul 2024)

Verona Murphy: I welcome this debate. I concur with colleagues' comments on the amount of work the Minister has done to bring this issue to the fore and try to improve what we do, as a society and as legislators, to address it. Often, society does not even recognise the problem for what it is. Domestic violence, unless it is actually on people's doorstep, is often seen as just as a domestic incident by...
