Insurance Reform: Statements (22 Jun 2022)

Catherine Murphy: It is just under two months since the House last debated reform of the insurance sector. In that time, the situation has grown worse. The Insurance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022, which was discussed at the time, is a step in the right direction, but it does not represent the radical reform needed to address the cost of insurance. The fundamental issue is cost. We must not forget...

Our Lady's Hospital Navan Emergency Services: Motion [Private Members] (21 Jun 2022)

Catherine Murphy: I have been following this story for the past week and during the debate tonight and I am struggling to figure out exactly who is in charge. Is it the management that is running the hospital or what input does the Government have? The Taoiseach made his position quite clear earlier today regarding UHL. He said the HSE is directly responsible for the running and the management of hospitals...

Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (21 Jun 2022)

Catherine Murphy: On behalf of the Social Democrats, I welcome the Currie family and again express our sympathy on their loss.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Jun 2022)

Catherine Murphy: I am quoting back to the Taoiseach what I took from a quote. People are worried about how they will heat their homes, pay their rents or mortgages and put food on the table. Four months feels like a lifetime. All the indications are that this will worsen and we all know that. A number of kites on childcare, taxation and social welfare increases have been flown but how can people get...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Jun 2022)

Catherine Murphy: I have never claimed that people on this side of the House have a monopoly on empathy and I am sure that the Taoiseach is getting the same kind of queries from people struggling to cope with the cost of living crisis at his constituency office as I am getting at mine in Kildare.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Jun 2022)

Catherine Murphy: I listened to part of the Tánaiste's interview on Newstalk yesterday. I know he agrees with the President that the housing situation is now a disaster.
