Eugene Murphy: I thank the Chairman. I will keep this brief because apart from being a Rossy, there is no point in repeating everything that has said. However, I represent a Roscommon-Galway constituency. I agree with everything that has been said by Deputes Ó Cúiv, Connolly, Grealish and Rabbitte. The reality is that Galway city and county are fantastic. They have fantastic communities and a...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Agriculture Cashflow Support Loan Scheme (6 Dec 2018)

Eugene Murphy: While I have to welcome what the Minister says will come on board in 2019, it should be remembered that this was announced in budget 2018. If I am not mistaken, the Minister made a further announcement at the IFA AGM in January and indicated that it would be established in the autumn. I push this point on the basis that these are the most challenging times for farmers I have ever seen....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Agriculture Cashflow Support Loan Scheme (6 Dec 2018)

Eugene Murphy: While I welcome that, one must consider what has happened already in 2018. There was a terrible fodder crisis last spring and the weather was appalling. In fact, we did not have a spring as it seemed winter went into summer. Farmers were initially unable to get fodder. In the Minister's own part of the country, the dairy sector was severely affected. There is now a beef price crisis....

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2018)

Eugene Murphy: This is probably one of the areas on which I have received most representations. I remind Deputies that these representations have been made by eminent doctors, nurses and midwives. It is not simply a question of me asking a "What if?" question and setting out what I believe. I know many of these people personally. They are eminent people who have looked after people very well for many...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government Bill 2018: Committee Stage (5 Dec 2018)

Eugene Murphy: I represent part of the constituency - not a big part but an important one. I support Deputies Fitzmaurice, Connolly and Rabbitte on this issue. There is a major problem with funding and offering a small amount of money to the various municipal districts is not much of a carrot because the deficit is so big. The city and the county have a total population of roughly 320,000, which is very...
