- Agrifood and Rural Development: Motion (24 Sep 2019)
Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: In my opinion, humble though it may be, the Minister of State, Deputy Creed, and the Government have let down the farmers of Cork South-West.

Beef farming is no longer sustainable. The farmers in west Cork cannot...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Oct 2019)
Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: Will the Taoiseach find out the completion date for the southern bypass near Bandon, my home town? This bypass has remained incomplete for many years.

Has the Taoiseach any plans to set up a mitigation fund to protect the fishing...
- Industrial Action by School Secretaries: Statements (2 Oct 2019)
Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: School secretaries are the engine room of any school. They keep things working, ticking over and gelling together. They epitomise the jack of all trades except that they are also masters of all trades. I have had many dealings with school secretaries over the years at my son's schools and in schools across west Cork where I worked. They really keep the show on the road and it is so unfair...
