Ruairí Ó Murchú: Does Mr. Stephens think the NCSC has the required resources to do the business it needs to do?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Is Mr. Stephens relatively happy, after the interaction the NCSC has had with some of these possible target companies and whatever else, that they are doing what they need to do?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It is obviously very reassuring that actions are being taken on basis of the issue we have with Russia and Ukraine. During an attack, there are attempts to disrupt. I accept that some of this stuff could relate to the Defence Forces, rather than NCSC, but some of the experts we had before us talked about almost a counter-strike capacity. What would the NCSC and CSIRT do? What is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I imagine, in real terms, that would relate to the Defence Forces. While under attack, sometimes, one counterattacks in order to disrupt. The NCSC is involved when an attack is on. I assume some of it means there is some sort of over and back.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I accept that and I assume the NCSC is obviously within the American defence set-up. It probably does engage in some of this, especially when certain players come on the attack.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Insurance Industry (22 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit. I accept that there have been advances and these are to be welcomed. I am talking specifically about a number of companies operating in the leisure industry that probably run very large events. They are breaking their companies into individual parts. If they are dealing with marquees, they are keeping that separate. They cannot in any way,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Insurance Industry (22 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: There have been a number of pieces that have been dealt with legislatively here but we still have failings around the fact that the duty of care legislation has not been brought in. That is a major part of this. We have all seen situations such as in my own constituency involving community centres; there may be a claim against two or three parties using a centre and, although the centre...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Insurance Industry (22 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: What are the plans of the Minister to address the rising cost of and limited access to public liability insurance? What recent engagements has he had with the insurance industry, Insurance Ireland and his office to promote competition in the insurance market? I think he would struggle to find a company that is offering bouncy castles that has insurance. We have reached that doomsday...

Citizens' Assemblies: Motion (22 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Citizens' assemblies have proven themselves as being sometimes more useful at delivering action and seeing viable solutions than in here and beyond. With many others I am utterly disappointed a citizens' assembly on drugs has not been timed properly. The Taoiseach spoke about the end of 2022 but the Department of Health and the Minister of State, Deputy Feighan, state it will be 2023. We...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I would like to raise the issue of Carlinn Hall in Dundalk, where approximately 200 houses are in a group heating scheme. This was meant to be renewable energy initially, using biofuel or something, but it ended up being gas. Gas is supplied by Energia at the front line. Gas prices have gone through the roof and are not capped as the group heating scheme is seen as commercial. There is an...
