- Paternity Leave and Benefit Bill 2016: Report and Final Stages (13 Jul 2016)
Dara Murphy: On behalf of the Minister, I thank Members for their engagement on Committee Stage and again this evening and for their contributions on the various other Stages. This is an important day as the House passes legislation which gives parents, primarily fathers, the right to paternity leave. This is a recognition of the important role played by fathers in the care of their children. This...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: General Affairs Council: Minister of State at Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (4 Oct 2016)
Dara Murphy: I thank the Chairman and congratulate him on taking up this very important position, particularly given where we are now going as a nation. The role of this committee will be even more important than it has been in the past. I thank the Chairman and his officials for organising today's meeting. I also congratulate Senator Terry Leyden on his election as Vice Chairman, which was a position...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: General Affairs Council: Minister of State at Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (4 Oct 2016)
Dara Murphy: Yes, the Senator's best days are ahead of him, as they are for all the new committee members. I know some members have been here before, such as Deputies Crowe and Durkan and Senator Paul Coghlan, but to anyone taking up a new position here be assured it is a very interesting committee. I certainly value the opportunity to come here and answer questions and, most importantly, to hear points...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: General Affairs Council: Minister of State at Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (4 Oct 2016)
Dara Murphy: I thank the members. I have a very significant amount of notes taken. I hope to get to many, if not all, of the issues. The consensus in the country is reflected in the consensus in the questioning. I agree with the vast majority of the observations. I will try to work through them as I got them, starting with Senator Leyden's point. I concur with him very strongly that it is very...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: General Affairs Council: Minister of State at Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (4 Oct 2016)
Dara Murphy: I wish the Chairman and members well in their endeavours. I think Deputy Healy-Rae will find his role as chairman of the Committee on European Affairs enjoyable and stimulating but it entails a lot of hard work. The Department will support the work of the committee. I thank the diplomatic representatives who attend these meetings. They play an important part in getting the message from...
- Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland (Amendment Bill) 2014: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Oct 2016)
Dara Murphy: I thank Deputy Pearse Doherty for his Private Members' Bill on the topic of the Financial Services Ombudsman. Unfortunately the Minister, Deputy Noonan, and the Minister of State, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, are unable to be here today so I am taking the debate on their behalf. They both understand the intention behind the Bill, which seeks to provide for the strengthening of the functions of the...
- Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland (Amendment Bill) 2014: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Oct 2016)
Dara Murphy: I concur with both speakers and add my thanks to FLAC and the Ombudsmen for the work they do. All of us have significant engagement with them and they do great work on the ground. The Government fully supports the intention behind the Bill. The Minister for Finance strongly supports the intention, and his legislation to consolidate and update the role of the ombudsman is a priority on the...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (26 Oct 2016)
Dara Murphy: That is what the Taoiseach said: "anybody else."
- European Council: Statements (26 Oct 2016)
Dara Murphy: I will deal with the issue of Russian intervention in Syria in my closing remarks, given that we are operating within time constraints. On that point I will answer the Deputy's other question by describing the sense I have of the position taken by our colleagues in other member states regarding the unique position that we have in Ireland. There are many areas where we and other member states...
- European Council: Statements (26 Oct 2016)
Dara Murphy: Sorry Deputy?
- European Council: Statements (26 Oct 2016)
Dara Murphy: I will be as brief as I can. The LE Samuel Becketthas rescued today 122 people in the Mediterranean Sea. I know people have been very complimentary about the work of our Naval Service in the Mediterranean Sea and this brings the number rescued up to 14,555. Some of the figures we got earlier on migration were not correct as some of the Deputies have slightly inaccurate figures. With regard...
- European Council: Statements (26 Oct 2016)
Dara Murphy: Deputy Ryan is correct. An arbitration process for disputes would be required. Neither the collective European Union nor Ireland, as a member state, has got any indication as to what the UK's intention is with respect to the courts and a court system. It is important to note that all member states agreed the rules, so to speak, or the laws that the European courts, in a general sense,...
- European Council: Statements (26 Oct 2016)
Dara Murphy: That will not be possible because I have committed to addressing the issue of Russia. I did not answer two of Deputy Crowe's questions. Very briefly, on the common consolidated corporate tax base, CCCTB, our priority will be to seek agreement on the proposal that will tackle further hybrid mismatches. The Commission recently published a series of corporate tax proposals, which include...
- Topical Issue Debate: Deportation Orders Re-examination (26 Oct 2016)
Dara Murphy: I thank Deputy Eugene Murphy for raising this issue. I have also read the additional material he sent to me. It is not the policy of the Department of Justice and Equality to comment on the details of decisions reached in individual cases. However, in general there is a perception that marrying an Irish citizen confers an automatic right to reside in the State, which is not in fact the...
