Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2006: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (29 Nov 2006)

Catherine Murphy: I got a copy of the deleted list and the numbers who must be visited are frightening. That job will fall to those in political parties or supporters of Independents. With the best will in the world, we will not be able to get to the people who are on the deleted list. It is not the be all and the end all but it is important and I find it useful. I have the register available in my...

Noise Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Nov 2006)

Catherine Murphy: I support this Bill and, in the time available to me, wish to focus on a number of aspects of the Bill, as well as some matters that are not covered by it.

While higher density housing has merit from the perspective of having a critical population mass to make public transport more...

Health Service Charges. (29 Nov 2006)

St. Raphael's is run by the St. John of God Brothers and the meeting was called to explain the new HSE long-stay charges.

I looked at the speech made by Minister of State, Deputy Seán Power, at the time and...

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31 (30 Nov 2006)

Catherine Murphy: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the two large seizures of cocaine in Kildare within the past week, one in Rathangan with a street value of €50,000 and the second in Celbridge with a street value of €2 million. While these seizures are welcome they are the tip of the iceberg in terms of cocaine availability....

Multilateral Carbon Credit Fund: Motion (30 Nov 2006)

Catherine Murphy: I do not believe any country in the world is defined by and associated with a colour as Ireland, the Emerald Isle, is. The understanding of the word green has developed in recent years and people believe that Ireland should have a clean, green environment, rather than merely use the term as a marketing ploy. Ireland has exported a great deal of its population around the world and they have...

Multilateral Carbon Credit Fund: Motion (30 Nov 2006)

People are leaving their cars close to train stations so that public transport can be used for, at least, one leg of their journey.

Sport and Recreational Development. (30 Nov 2006)

Catherine Murphy: Does the Minister agree that the groups that will do poorly in an audit are in locations that have been subject to recent development? Deputy Gogarty's constituency and mine are examples of that. With the time lag involved, we must play catch-up as a consequence. Was an audit of facilities carried out by the sports partnerships? Is there a deal of information out there already? The last...
