Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Risk Management (7 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: I accept that one can run into difficulties and problems. However, a few things concern me in this regard. I acknowledge the Minister of State's undoubted role in this. He is in contact and some works are being carried on. In my county, however, because of the flooding and because the River Shannon runs from one end of the county to the other, people who should be relocated have not been...

Eugene Murphy: Why?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Risk Management (7 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: I thank the Minister for State for his reply. Like him, if I go out my back door or front door, I am not too far from part of the River Shannon, be that Roosky, Termonbarry or Ballyleague-Lanesborough. The Minister of State and his staff keep in contact with me, given my role in this matter. Questions are being asked following what we have been told about the overspend on the children's...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Children's Hospital Expenditure (7 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: I would just like to point out that it is not the case that I am cutting the Deputies' time short. The time is doubled, but the two Deputies will have a better chance to ask more questions if they stick to one minute for each supplementary question.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions (7 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: I remind Members they have a six-and-a-half minute slot with 30 seconds to introduce the question and the Minister having two minutes in which to reply. The Deputy has a minute for a supplementary question, the Minister has one minute to reply and this is followed by a final supplementary question and final reply. I say this because I want everybody to stick to the time limit.

Eugene Murphy: The Tynan family are constituents of mine. Indeed, Deputy Gino Kenny and I have been in contact over this. I will not take up time. I would certainly support the comments being made here on behalf of Mr. Tynan and his family. It is a critical and difficult situation. I hope the Minister will be able to give some clarification and good news to us today.

Children's Rights: Motion [Private Members] (6 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: I show my support for the amendment which is timely and important. Considering that this is 2019, many children are getting a raw deal. Let us take homelessness, for example. There is not a night that I go to bed that I do not think about the appalling situation of children sleeping in hotel rooms. It behoves all of us to sort out this matter as quickly as possible. There are 6,251...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Respite Care Services Provision (6 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Daly, for coming to the Chamber to listen to me. I hope he might have some good news for me. There are 55,000 people in Ireland living with dementia. It might be hard to believe but 5,500 of those reside in the counties of Roscommon, Mayo and Galway. That is 10% of the overall figure. It is an extraordinarily high figure, I am sure the Minister of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Respite Care Services Provision (6 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: I thank the Minister of State for his reply which contains much information. There is limited care afforded to Roscommon people, and this funding is coming from the funding allocated to Mayo, which I think is €90,000 per annum. The Minister of State can correct me if I am wrong. The bit of funding for Roscommon comes out of that. There is a one-day centre in Four Mile House, four...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (6 Feb 2019)

Eugene Murphy: In the programme for Government there is quite a significant section on balanced regional development, an issue I have raised on many occasions. Balanced regional development, while it may be occurring in some areas, is certainly not happening in my constituency of Roscommon-Galway. In terms of job creation, it is the area is most neglected. Recently my colleague, Deputy Kelleher,...
