- National Children's Hospital: Motion [Private Members] (29 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: The Ceann Comhairle asked before not to interrupt when a Member is speaking. We are delighted to have people in the Public Gallery, but I cannot allow them to interrupt. I ask them to adhere to the rules. That is all I ask.
- Questions on Promised Legislation (29 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: The Government announced some time ago the amalgamation of the offices of the Pensions Ombudsman and the Financial Services Ombudsman. When can we expect that legislation to come before the House? As a matter of interest, why did the Government decide to amalgamate those two bodies, considering the onerous tasks facing the Financial Services Ombudsman in particular?
- Northern Ireland: Statements (29 Mar 2017)

- Northern Ireland: Statements (29 Mar 2017)

- Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: Deputy John Lahart could have had a couple of pints during his ten minutes. It might seem strange to my colleagues that somebody who does not consume alcohol is so supportive of the Bill. Apart from the odd time when I drink it for medicinal purposes, I do not consume alcohol. Much of the reason is I spend most of my life driving a vehicle on the road. Someone can no longer go and have a...
- Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (23 Mar 2017)

- Other Questions: IDA Site Visits (23 Mar 2017)

- Other Questions: IDA Site Visits (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I do not wish to be rude but can I stop the Deputy there? I would like to allow the Minister to reply and I will then let the Deputy have another minute.
- Other Questions: IDA Site Visits (23 Mar 2017)

- Other Questions: Economic Competitiveness (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: The Minister's answer is fine and I am sure it is correct, but the goalposts have changed. The CSO figures for 2016, and I questioned the Taoiseach on this during Leaders' Questions two weeks ago, show a drop in the value of exports of almost €500 million, that is, €480 million, for 2016. Most of this drop occurred between June and the end of the year, after the Brexit vote....
- Other Questions: Economic Competitiveness (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: Yes, the value.
- Other Questions: IDA Site Visits (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I will make a brief comment. I thank Deputy Niall Collins for bringing it up and sharing time. In her reply, the Minister repeatedly states "outside of Dublin".
- Other Questions: IDA Site Visits (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I am asking where are the Minister's agencies in Roscommon, east Galway, Leitrim and Longford? It is not happening in those areas. I acknowledge the programme for Government states the Government would create 155,000 jobs outside of Dublin but our region is being destroyed because we do not have jobs. If one looks at towns such as Ballaghaderreen, Castlerea, Strokestown, Cortober in...
- Other Questions: IDA Site Visits (23 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: One. In Cavan, which is in Deputy Niamh Smyth's constituency, the number was low also. IDA Ireland is not engaging with certain counties and I want the Minister to change that. If the Government does not do so then we are not getting a fair crack of the whip.

Eugene Murphy: 161. To ask the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 648 of 7 March 2017, if he will source some level of State funding towards the remuneration of a centre manager and full-time office administrator for a cancer support centre (details supplied) in County Galway in view of the fact that over 140 persons a week use the centre and a range of vital therapies and support is...

To ask the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 649 of 7 March 2017, the reason a cancer support centre (details supplied) in County Galway did not receive funding under the National Lottery grant scheme despite the fact that a full-time service is run on an entirely voluntary basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
