- Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Deputy Danny Healy-Rae purports to speak for the people who went out and fought in 1916. My grandparents fought in 1916. My grandfather was interned. I do not think he would take the same view as the Deputy in respect of a lot of things.
- Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: The Deputy does not have to. I am just saying that a variety of people were involved and that it was in a different time and a different era. I do not believe the Deputy speaks for everyone who went out and fought in 1916. He should ponder that a little. When I started looking at this Bill and preparing for the debate this evening, I asked myself what was the point of doing so. The...

It is more in the higher education or education area because of the children and science aspect, but no Department has put its hand up to run this. The Department would have the responsibility rather than the OPW. The OPW is not getting instructions from any Department, so how does it make decisions about what to consider as regards how...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024) Catherine Murphy: You might do that and come back to us. I want to go back on a couple of points.
