Catherine Murphy: If we are having the HSE in later in the year, we need to look at this as a unique piece. We maybe need to look at where there is a legal imperative to do something, if there is a follow-through on that, are there resources to do that, and how the money is spent.

Extension of the Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2021: Motion (24 May 2023)

Catherine Murphy: The Minister of State has told us it is intended to include this in the general scheme of the sale of alcohol Bill.

Ceisteanna - Questions: An Garda Síochána (24 May 2023)

Catherine Murphy: In the context of the strategy, the Commissioner has responsibility for the deployment of resources, for example. We know the number of regions has been reduced, from six to four, and the aim is to have 700 to 800 gardaí per division. That assumes there is an equality of service. There are many metrics but it assumes there is some degree of equality of service throughout the country....
