- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (17 Oct 2024)
Eugene Murphy: It is probably a bit premature for us. I agree with Deputy Buckley that there are more discussions to take place.

- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: An Garda Síochána (17 Oct 2024)
Eugene Murphy: I thank the Cathaoirleach sincerely for giving me the opportunity to bring this very important Commencement matter before the House today. I welcome the Minister of State. He always seems to be the go-to person and he is always here to answer my questions. I understand the Minister for Justice is not available this morning. I thought long and hard before I brought this Commencement...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: An Garda Síochána (17 Oct 2024)
Eugene Murphy: I thank the Minister of State very much. I understand that he is subbing here. The Minister, Deputy McEntee, knows our county very well. I know her personally and I know that she wants to ensure people in the county are safe, but in the short term we must consider manning the bridges across the River Shannon coming into County Roscommon. We had to do it in previous years when we had...

- Seanad: Agriculture Appeals (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (17 Oct 2024)
Eugene Murphy: I welcome the Minister and his officials here today. This is a very important Bill and Fianna Fáil welcomes and supports it. Sometimes as a nation we forget how important the agrifood sector is to all of us. This is not just about agriculture. This is about jobs, families and income. The agrifood sector is our most indigenous industry providing almost 200,000 jobs and accounting for...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Oct 2024)
Eugene Murphy: First, I support the kind words of Senator Dolan to the Naughten family. I paid my tributes last week with a number of other Members but like many other people, I am still reeling with shock because I was very close to the man. Second, I support Senator McGreehan in relation to the horticultural industry. We are missing an opportunity here to develop this and put extra funding into it. A...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Oct 2024)
Eugene Murphy: I want to seek a debate with the Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee, on what I can only call a crime spree in County Roscommon at the moment. I am not pointing the finger at the Minster in any way whatsoever, because I fully understand that the Garda Commissioner has responsibility for law and order. However, I cannot any longer stay silent on the matter. In recent weeks, at night,...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Business of Joint Committee (9 Oct 2024)
Eugene Murphy: I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach for allowing us a few minutes to speak about what has been a tragic weekend for the people of County Roscommon. It was very tragic for me. I happened to be at a football match where my son was playing on Friday evening. I was called to one side by the chairman of the county board to be told this news. I was stunned and shocked. I reiterate what you have...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Rural Social Scheme: Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection (9 Oct 2024)
Eugene Murphy: I welcome the Minister of State and his officials. I acknowledge that this document is brief, and it is good. Sometimes we have a lot of material being read out by people. They made their points here and that is important. Deputy Ó Cuív made the points very well and I will not labour them because Deputy Ó Laoghaire is here and there are other people online who want to make...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Rural Social Scheme: Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection (9 Oct 2024)
Eugene Murphy: He brought in a lot of these because he saw schemes like these were needed in rural Ireland and the west of Ireland. They fill an important vacuum. The Minister of State is correct that he was down in County Roscommon and had a look at how the schemes were working and so on. For rural areas, particularly in the west, the community aspect of this is important. I know he understands that...
