Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (28 Sep 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: That is brilliant. In a perfect world, then, everything would get sorted out between the individual member states and the Commission and the digital wallet would be ready to go. People moving to Spain, for example, or elsewhere, will be facilitated in opening bank accounts. Like any good system, it would then be assessed and reviewed six months later and any required fixes will be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (28 Sep 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (28 Sep 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: All of us have had questions in the last while. People are consistently on and a kid might end up using a YouTube account connected to an email address, then information about a person's bank card number is requested, which that person might not be happy to provide. People are already uploading information such as passports, driving licences and so on as a means of informing companies about...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (28 Sep 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I agree. We are back to easy-to-use systems which deal with security and privacy. It makes sense that it is owned by the State rather than subcontracted to a third party, while accepting that third parties will have the technical capacity to be part of the build and the maintenance. That is a different kettle of fish. I add my voice to what was said earlier, that if we are looking at...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (28 Sep 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (28 Sep 2021)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Irish Language (23 Sep 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I want to add my voice to those of the previous two speakers in regard to the need for any system we put together for Irish language teaching to take into account provision from naíonra level right up to third level. That consultation is necessary before we put plans in place. I thank the Minister for her support for Coláiste Ghlór na Mara and its satellite school, which...

Garda Siochana (Functions and Operational Areas) Bill 2021: Second Stage (22 Sep 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: We are here to discuss what is obviously a technical Bill. When I heard about the reorganisation and division, and the fact that County Louth was going to be connected with counties Cavan and Monaghan, I had a fear of losing senior gardaí and losing the focus that is needed, particularly in the huge urban settings of Dundalk and Drogheda. Anybody who has watched the news in recent...

Residential Tenancies (Tenants' Rights) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (22 Sep 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank Deputy Bacik for bringing this legislative measure forward. We are dealing with "renovictions". In that context, protections are needed for people who are losing their tenancies. I agree that the accidental landlords require a professionalising of the system so they are also protected where there are cases of good landlords and tenants with extra difficulties, etc. We also need to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Cyber Security Centre Review: Discussion (22 Sep 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank the Minister of State. A number of members have already dealt with the fact that the NCSC was under-resourced and overtasked. We have a to-do list and we need to ensure that is completed and that all necessary resources are brought to bear. I want to deal with the executive summary. Recommendation 5 states: Ensure legislation formally and fully embeds NCSC within the wider...
