Report on Administration and Movement of the Insurance Compensation Fund for the year ended 31 December 2021 (Resumed)
Comptroller and Auditor General Section 2 Report on Unauthorised release of funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer (Resumed) (20 Apr 2023)

Verona Murphy: I appreciate that. However, it took a long time to review the loan-to-income ratios. It appears that people are being given conflicting messages.

Previously, they could have possibly acquired mortgages when their ability to repay was greater...

Vacant Homes Tax: Motion [Private Members] (19 Apr 2023)

Verona Murphy: I thank the Social Democrats for tabling another well-intentioned motion on housing. Unfortunately, the motion, as presented, while well-intentioned, simply underpins the false narrative that has been advanced by Governments for the past ten years. It is nothing more than a deluded application of centralised policies to follow the groupthink of all the parties in this House that this will...
