Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy in Education: Discussion (Resumed) (4 Oct 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: The recommendation is to amend the admissions Act. I will only take a moment. In fairness, Mr. Clerkin has given me the core of what I was asking about. When parents come in to deal with a particular issue they have a very specific question. They want their child to be in a unit and the unit says it is full. The parents want to know why there are not units in school X, Y or Z. On some...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Issues Surrounding Water Quality and Supply: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I imagine that the direction in which I intend to go will not come as complete shock. Water quality has been a huge issue in Dundalk for a considerable amount of time and in the mid- to north-Louth area in particular. It is fair to say that people have even to a degree gotten used to having brown water. I was in a chip shop the other day and somebody asked me if I wanted tap water or...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Issues Surrounding Water Quality and Supply: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I will be very brief. Communications is a difficulty, and it is an area in which I think there is still much improvement to be made. This flushing process is not yet over, and the date of 14 September was not met. That is fine, but people need to know that and then they will accept that. The last correspondence I have relates to 14 September, which includes, as I said, an incomplete list...

Financial Resolutions 2022 - Financial Resolution No. 6: General (Resumed) (29 Sep 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I was considering raising a number of points, starting with unfairness. Deputies will know the example of the person on €135,000 who will get a tax break of €830 and the person on €35,000 who will only get €190. I was going to go through each issue individually, but then I said "Maybe not", because what are we doing here? We all accept that we are in the middle...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Policy (28 Sep 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: As already said by Deputies across both sides of this Chamber, the reality is there are a very large number of people on very low wages and they are literally being excluded from the social housing list on the basis of anomalies that might appear in their income in a particular year because of shift allowances and so on. This may leave them in a set of circumstances where they cannot rent....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Conference on the Future of Europe and Other Matters: European Movement Ireland (28 Sep 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I will start with the Conference on the Future of Europe, the idea of the convention and everything that was done imperfectly from the point of view of the conference, especially at the beginning. The idea that greater and more consistent interaction with citizens is needed and that Europe is well removed from a considerable number of people was a big thing. Anyone who goes out into the...
