Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (19 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: It is great to get access to new markets but the potential in the Chinese market is limited given that the preference is for frozen beef. I echo what was said about the BEEP scheme. It is an important scheme and while it involves little money, we should encourage people to get involved in it. There is a bit of negativity towards it but farmers should take it up. The deadline is 22 February.

Eugene Murphy: This is really important. Our credit unions have a track record up and down the country in respect of supporting communities.

Would the Minster be able to indicate when we will be able to get this up and running so that credit unions can have the money made available to support housing?

Nurses, Midwives and Paramedics Strikes: Motion [Private Members] (13 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: I am delighted to say a few words on this motion. Nurses are genuine carers of all of us. When we end up in hospital or in a doctor's surgery, they are the ones who calm us. When we are anxious about our health, they are the ones who speak to us. I had a bad fall some years ago and as a result had many visits to hospital for surgery. I know the value of nurses and the way they look after...
