- Questions on Promised Legislation (1 Mar 2017)
Eugene Murphy: The programme for Government clearly states that its ambition is to create 135,000 jobs outside Dublin. That is very ambitious but it is good.

- Other Questions: Mortgage Interest Relief Application (28 Feb 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I thank the Minister for supplying the number. This man has been put through hell in his dealings with the EBS. In my view the EBS has breached many codes of conduct in dealing with the case. I have sent a comprehensive file of evidence of misconduct on the part of the EBS to the Minister's office, which was provided by the man involved. I urge the Minister to have a further look at the...

- Other Questions: Mortgage Interest Relief Application (28 Feb 2017)
Eugene Murphy: That is interesting. I welcome the Minister's clarification of the issue. The young man in question bought his house in 2009 and was made redundant some time later. He subsequently regained employment and began to deal with the mortgage arrears on his account. He has been paying his full mortgage as well as extra to deal with the arrears since 2014, but tax relief at source was withdrawn...

- Other Questions: State Banking Sector Regulation (28 Feb 2017)
Eugene Murphy: I must point out that the rules of the House are set down by Members and implemented by the Business Committee. Every time a speaker exceeds the allotted time during questions, he or she ensures that some of his or her colleagues' questions will not be reached. This is unfair and I appeal to Members to abide by the rules. A Deputy has 30 seconds to introduce a question and the Minister two...
