Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: This is literally to ensure this international best practice and nobody is giving the witnesses an answer about why this cannot be in primary legislation. People say that it is an EU competence or such. Germany has no problem in setting up a proper peer group system.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Mr. Brereton does not believe the Department of Transport can make the call because it has stated it does not have the expertise. I will move on. I thank Mr. Cullen and Mr. Brereton. That was incredibly informative. Beyond that, we have serious work to do.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: In fairness to captains Cullen and Brereton, they have laid out quite clearly that the desired culture does not exist at this point and that we need amendments, embedded in some shape or form, to ensure we have what is regarded as best practice internationally for pilots and safety to the highest degree for those who are flying. We need to follow up on that. On section 32, how expensive...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It does not make any sense.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Even in a perfect system, it makes sense to check and review constantly and have a feedback loop. One checks, fixes the mistakes and moves on, the result being that everything is better and everybody is safer. In fairness to the Chairman and others, this committee has said it has a body of work to do in chasing up and getting better answers. Is there anything else the delegates need us to...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (10 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: We all recognise we are dealing with a technical Bill to move certain functions from the Department of Health to the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. Following on from some of the conversations I have had with the Minister of State, there is obviously a logic to what is being done here. I know she had intentions to go to Dundalk and has planned for a...

Competition (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (9 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Fadhb ar bith. I would have been only too delighted to listen to Deputy Carthy continuing on far more eloquently than I would myself. The CCPC is the primary enforcement body for competition law. My colleagues have spoken about the fact that we are late to the game in this. It is our absolute failing on white-collar crime. In the past many of us have spoken in this Chamber regarding...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Functions (9 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Everybody accepts we are in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis. As for housing, we all know that a major issue is delivering on supply. That will not happen straight away, no matter whose policies are implemented. The difficulty we have at present is that there are people paying huge and disgraceful rents to the extent that I just do not understand how they could have operated before...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (9 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: The British Government's amnesty legislation is about covering up what it did in Ireland. It is about the fact that the British Government was responsible for death squads that executed Irish people. There is a responsibility on us in here to highlight the issue. We need to be incredibly strong in regard to the fact that the amnesty legislation is just not going to cut it in terms of human...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Home Care: Discussion (9 Feb 2022)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Everyone is in the same place. Every constituency office has dealt with multiple cases in which families have had difficulties in accessing these services and ensuring their loved ones can be looked after in their homes. It is vital. Weekend care has been a major issue. The Chair has already dealt with a significant amount of the work. The work advisory task force has to recognise that...
