Sale of Tickets (Cultural, Entertainment, Recreational and Sporting Events) Bill 2021: Second Stage (13 May 2021)

Catherine Murphy: A number of Bills have been put forward on ticket touting over the years. There is cross-party support on progressing this legislation, as there was in respect of previous legislation. It is welcome to see this before the House and that the Government has committed to enacting this legislation, hopefully prior to the reopening of live events. Everyone has felt the absence of sports, music...

Personal Insolvency (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (13 May 2021)

Catherine Murphy: I broadly welcome this legislation. It is good to see that the Insolvency Service Of Ireland, MABS and the Citizens Information Board have all welcomed the Bill.

Personal insolvency...

Public Accounts Committee: 2019 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála (13 May 2021)

Catherine Murphy: To pick up on that point, I recall, when the legislation was going through the Houses, asking where the appeals process was and being told it was the courts. Are we surprised, therefore, that we are spending a lot of money on judicial reviews when people believe there is no appeals process other than to the courts? There is a financial cost to this but it was always envisaged that it would...

Catherine Murphy: Okay.

Public Accounts Committee: 2019 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála (13 May 2021)

Catherine Murphy: The Aarhus Convention requires that people are allowed to have an input into environmental legislation. Would An Bord Pleanála conclude there is a flaw in the SHD process with regard to cutting people out?

Public Accounts Committee: 2019 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála (13 May 2021)

Catherine Murphy: I want to go back to Mr. Egan about costs. He might be able to provide us with a note about the strategic housing developments that have been judicially reviewed where the case is decided. Where the board has been successful with a judicial review, will he tell us whether legal costs were recovered? If not, why not? Where the judicial review was successful for the other side, did the...

Public Accounts Committee: 2019 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála (13 May 2021)

Catherine Murphy: A criticism is often that a planning authority would have "to have regard to" but that changed "to be in compliance with". Looking at those in my constituency, it does not appear that it has to be in compliance with these plans. The witnesses might consider them.
