- Other Questions: Tax Code (17 Jan 2017)

- Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Jan 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I also wish to raise the issue of car insurance. Fianna Fáil welcomes what the Minister of State, Deputy Murphy, and the working group have achieved. The sad thing is we are speaking about two years before anything can be put into practice. Another difficulty has arisen. I have had three cases in the past five weeks where families purchased cars in Dublin which were nine, ten or 11...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Jan 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I know the Taoiseach has no silver bullet to solve these issues, but I ask that the Government deals with the motor insurance companies head on because they are playing holy hell and I do not believe a lot of what they come out with.

- Tillage Farming: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jan 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I support the motion. It is the job of government to come to the aid of people when they are in trouble. The grain farmers in the Gallery should not have had to come to the House. A scheme should have been established for grain farmers similar to that established in 2010 for fruit farmers. Rainfall figures from Met Éireann for September 2016 show County Kerry experienced 28 wet...

- Communications Regulation (Postal Services) (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (18 Jan 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I wish to share time with Deputy Casey and others. I join Deputy Durkan, the Minister of State and others in wishing my constituency colleague, the Minister, Deputy Naughten, a very speedy recovery. I have been in contact with him by text and he has been in contact with me. He appreciates all the good wishes and is making a slow recovery. It was quite a frightening experience for him...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (19 Jan 2017)
Eugene Murphy: Many of my colleagues on this side of the House have been asking for some time when we will see the legislation on wind farms. Communities up and down the country are extremely frustrated at so-called promises that we would see it the next week or the week thereafter. It is not coming. I advise the Government to publish the proposed legislation so that communities can discuss it and...
- Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) (19 Jan 2017)
Eugene Murphy: As my colleague and party spokesperson in this area, Deputy Cowen, said earlier in this Second Stage debate, Fianna Fáil strongly supports the passage of this Bill to Committee Stage, which is what we are discussing here today. The main purpose of the Bill is to give a legislative basis to the establishment of an independent planning regulator's office to oversee and assess...
