Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Covid-19 Tests (13 Jul 2021)

Verona Murphy: I thank the Minister. On 8 May 2020 I requested from the Tánaiste a road map for testing and tracing. He was acting Taoiseach at that time and said he would indeed ask the HSE to produce a road map and on 14 May we saw the road map. He said: Our mission is to get people back to work, get businesses open again and get the economy humming so that we have the resources we need to build...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Covid-19 Tests (13 Jul 2021)

Verona Murphy: The issue is capacity when the numbers start to grow. We have had an average of approximately 600 cases per day over the past week. When we had 234 contact tracers, we were seeing 1,200 cases per day. I appreciate that officials were able to handle what happened in Dungarvan with the test, trace and isolate system. I am asking about what happens in future, when we get above 1,200 cases...

We have heard the number of deaths and, as Deputies have stated, over 2,000 nursing home residents are considered to be in the...

Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (13 Jul 2021)

Verona Murphy: The introduction of the property tax and its predecessor, the household charge, has been controversial; most obviously, around the time of their respective introductions. It perhaps ranks alongside the universal social charge as the most controversial of taxation measure in recent times. Those things were introduced in a time of financial crisis. Unfortunately, we may be at the beginning...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Disability Services (15 Jul 2021)

Verona Murphy: I will read into the record two representations made to me. Dear Verona, You will be aware from previous correspondence that I am a full time family carer to my sons Evan (21), who is non verbal and has diagnosis [of] ASD, ID, ADHD, Keracatonus and complex medical needs, and Daniel (17), who has a diagnosis of ASD. Like so many family carers across Wexford and the entire country, Covid...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Disability Services (15 Jul 2021)

Verona Murphy: I mean no disrespect to the Minister, whom I thank for coming to the Chamber to respond to the matter I have raised, but we all have to work towards something that is better. Nothing he said fills me with hope and it most certainly will not fill with hope those I am representing. It is unacceptable for someone with complex medical needs, who is non-verbal and has been taken in on an...

Vote 10 - Tax Appeals Commission
Chapter 14 - Management of Tax Appeals (8 Jul 2021)

Verona Murphy: I apologise for any duplication as I missed the first 30 minutes of our meeting because of Dáil speaking time. The TAC is new to me. I was not aware of it. Many people believe that Revenue is a law until itself and there is no appeal commission. The structure I have been reading about is well placed. It has existed since 2016. With regard to the recommendations made in last...
