Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Jan 2022)

Catherine Murphy: It should be progressive rather than regressive.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Jan 2022)

Catherine Murphy: We know we are in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis. We know that inflation has surged by 5.5% and stands at a 21-year high. Families are struggling with basic necessities. It is getting more difficult for a very large number of people to put food on the table and at the same time heat their homes. An increasing number of households can no longer afford to do both. Every facet of...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Jan 2022)

Catherine Murphy: I accept that some of this is generated from outside the State, particularly in respect of energy. Let us look at how Ireland was doing before this inflationary pressure kicked in. The cost of living in Ireland was 36% above the EU average. Our cost of housing is the highest in Europe. The cost of goods and services in Ireland is the second highest in Europe. Our fuel costs are the...

Programme E - Broadcasting (20 Jan 2022)

Catherine Murphy: I will touch on four areas. I welcome the witnesses. Obviously, it is a good opportunity to address some of these issues. I will start with the misclassification of staff. We know there is a power differential between employee and employer, that SIPTU and the NUJ were very active on this for a very long time and that it went on for far too long. Due to people's employment status being...

Catherine Murphy: I take it that Ms Forbes does not see that accountability. She talks about legacy issues. I will leave it at that but I must say that I do not accept that it is not bogus self-employment because people's employment status was changed, there was a review by SCOPE and there was a Revenue payment. I do not know what Ms Forbes would call it. If another semi-State company was in front of...

Catherine Murphy: Could Ms Forbes come back to us on that? The area I represent, which would be described as the commuter belt, although people do not feel like they are economic units or just people who are on the move all the time, is probably well represented in the non-TV household cohort and the younger age cohort. It is a missing area in terms of coverage. We are not the midlands but we are classified...

Catherine Murphy: RTÉ will get to retain that money, so that is an increase for its budget because it is something it does not have a liability for.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Jan 2022)

Catherine Murphy: I will probably hold off on making a contribution on this because we will have representatives of Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, and the National Transport Authority, NTA, before us and some of the information would be useful in that regard. On that basis, this item is fine.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Jan 2022)

Catherine Murphy: Essentially, what we have been told is that the Secretary General will not be engaging further on this and the national paediatric hospital will deal with us if we have queries. The Department of Health is not a disinterested party, however, and if there are escalating costs, they will come through in the budget at the Department of Health. I want to flag this and none of us will be fobbed...
