Covid Restrictions Support Scheme Regulations and Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme Regulations: Motions (22 Apr 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I welcome the Minister's commentary that there will not a be cliff edge in the EWSS and the CRSS. Many supports have been provided in recent times that have got businesses and families through what was a difficult gap and that is welcome. I want to add my voice to what Deputy O'Reilly said earlier. We had the issue of Carphone Warehouse and the job losses there, including in my town of...

Common Agricultural Policy Reform: Motion [Private Members] (22 Apr 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I commend Deputy Pringle and the Independent Group for bringing this motion forward. It is one of those rare occasions when one can agree with almost everything that is being said in this room from the point of view that there is a responsibility on the Government to deal with the INHFA. A number of us have been contacted by it and other farming organisations. It is a lack of trust that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU Protocol on Northern Ireland-Ireland: Engagement with the Minister for Foreign Affairs (27 Apr 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I will revisit the trust issue between the British Government and the European Union. This was made much worse by the British Government's unilateral action on the grace periods. Enough voice has been given to removing barnacles and sandpapering the Irish protocol. I accept what the Minister said, that there is a read on it that it is Boris Johnson saying we need to streamline the Irish...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU Protocol on Northern Ireland-Ireland: Engagement with the Minister for Foreign Affairs (27 Apr 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I was only going to note the positives at the end of the Minister's contribution, as the business community is up for finding solutions with the Irish protocol rather than looking for it to be scrapped. In fairness, I probably threw far too many questions at him. How does he foresee benefits from the TCA panning out? We have spoken about the EU-British Partnership Council and the 23 added...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU Protocol on Northern Ireland-Ireland: Engagement with the Minister for Foreign Affairs (27 Apr 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: The Minister talked about dispute resolution. The EU-UK Partnership Council, combined with these 23 committees, obviously provides a greater facility to deal with these individual problems.

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Is it not a Fine Gael slot?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: My decency and integrity required it.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I appreciate it, a Chathaoirligh. People can see the collegiality with which the committee operates. I will start with Mr. Peter Walsh. On some level with eMOS there is probably an element of being won over in the sense of a variable speed limit. There is not much point in asking the TII representatives whether this will be reviewed in the sense that this will be on the basis of minute...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I really appreciate that. We probably should communicate with all stakeholders on this to ensure the matter is actually resolved or getting resolved. I appreciate what Mr. Maher said in respect of stakeholders and the two bodies I referenced. I note he has signed off in respect of how the systems are tried and tested or at least in respect of the people who have produced them. That is...

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Do I have any time left?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I appreciate Ms Graham's answer. I have also just received the NTA's correspondence, which I appreciate. She has given a general timeline so will probably not go beyond that. I will go back to Mr. Walsh. He will probably have to reply to me in writing on this. I will raise two very localised issues, one of which is the N52 Ardee bypass. There were issues with it when it went for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I wish to put a question to the NTA officials. Deputy O'Connor spoke earlier. Several of us went to a meeting with taxi drivers that was organised by the three main groups. They have issues with the fact that they have missed out on several supports. Their main request is Government support to deal with the ten-year rule and its regulation. One issue that came up in the meeting was the...
