Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Jun 2019) Catherine Murphy: It was right across Department. I return now to Mr. Gleeson's reference to Brexit.

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Jun 2019) Catherine Murphy: I turn to something not specifically in the Department's accounts, namely, the Land Commission records. It is a bit of a hobby horse of mine and a treasure trove of wonderful genealogical value that is hidden away in a facility in Portlaoise.

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Jun 2019)
Catherine Murphy: Today all of the attention will be on two budget options and whether the Government will opt for budget A or budget B in the autumn.

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Jun 2019)
Catherine Murphy: Part of the reason for the unavailability of rented accommodation is the predominance of Airbnb accommodation. Houses that used to be rented are now occupied by people on that basis. The recent report on house prices in Dublin showed the average price of a three-bedroom house is €433,000, which is many multiples of the average industrial income. Rebuilding Ireland has missed its...
- Summer Economic Statement 2019: Statements (25 Jun 2019)
Catherine Murphy: I welcome the opportunity to speak to the summer economic statement. We were presented with black and white options for several scenarios.

The loss of 50,000 jobs in such a scenario is conceivable. Social welfare payments and tax...
