National Minimum Wage (Protection of Employee Tips) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (18 Jun 2019)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: Although tips are discretionary, many employees in the service industry, particularly the hospitality sector, depend on them to complement their basic weekly wage.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (12 Jun 2019)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I would have thought that the plans we have heard about would be in place from 31 July. It is a bit disappointing that is not the case.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (12 Jun 2019)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I am glad that the issue of the private paediatric practice has been clarified. I welcome that. On the children's hospital and physical access to it, when the committee discussed the location of the facility, there was a great deal of emphasis on the road and the infrastructure.

National Development Plan: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2019)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I wish to speak about issues specifically pertaining to my constituency of Cork South-West. The national planning framework and the national development plan were launched amid much media hype. However, this has long since waned and the truth is that the Government has failed to deliver on a massive scale. I have listened to hours of spin at the health committee on the delivery of the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jun 2019)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: Many west Cork fishermen fish the waters off Rockall. In the Taoiseach's discussions with Nicola Sturgeon, did fishing in any aspect arise?
