Catherine Murphy: I picked that tweet up in exactly the same way. I would have been one of the people to assume that, for example, a service charge was the same as making it easy to give a tip. I think many people have been under the same impression. I picked that tweet up in exactly the same way, in that it was a loophole. It is important that there is the prospect of reviewing this. I also would have...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Jul 2022)

Catherine Murphy: The Taoiseach talks about due process in An Bord Pleanála. Regarding the amendment the Government has now withdrawn under pressure, and it is not the only one, why would the Government even think of bringing that forward?

Catherine Murphy: Once the Government had the numbers, the tone completely changed in terms of the Business Committee, guillotines, and how we do business in the House. It matters because that changed the nature of the debate in the House and was, I believe, a big mistake. The Dáil does not have control of the agenda; the Government has taken control of it. It is for those and a myriad of other...

Confidence in Government: Motion (12 Jul 2022)
