Island Fisheries (Heritage Licence) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (1 Feb 2018)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I would like to begin by noting that I feel very blessed to represent a constituency that has islands. Everything should be done to enhance island living. The Common Fisheries Policy provides for small offshore islands which are dependent on fishing and efforts should be made to enable them to survive. The idea of heritage licences is set out in the Oireachtas report, a report which was...

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (30 Jan 2018)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: As my colleagues have said, my party will table our own amendment to this motion. I find it hard to take seriously Sinn Féin's interest in housing or indeed in anything. As a new Deputy here, I saw at first hand Sinn Féin running to the hills when it came to forming a Government. Its members could have had an input into policy or into Government but they ran to the hills instead....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Hen Harrier Programme: Discussion (30 Jan 2018)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I am not a member of this committee but I felt so strongly about the whole thing that I sought permission to attend. I welcome the farmers from west Cork who are present here or in the audiovisual room. Much of what I will say has been said already but I would like to put on record that I feel strongly about it. I have a sense of fairness and the devaluation of land through no fault of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Implications for Health Sector of United Kingdom's Withdrawal from the EU (Resumed): Department of Health (24 Jan 2018)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I welcome the witnesses and thank them for giving their time. I represent a very rural constituency in Cork South-West. Up until the meeting last year, when I thought about Brexit it was to do with how it would affect farming, fishing and tourism. It has already affected tourism in west Cork because of the uncertainty. I never thought how it would affect anything else, particularly...

Topical Issue Debate: Flood Relief Schemes Status (23 Jan 2018)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I am glad the Minister of State acknowledged that he realised first hand what the people of Bandon went through. His brother suffered badly during those floods. I am disappointed that the Minister of State spent most of his four-minute reply going over works that have been completed, of which I am very well aware. He also spent much time speaking of works done all over the country. With...

Topical Issue Debate: Flood Relief Schemes Status (23 Jan 2018)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: In light of the near flooding a few weeks ago and further weather warnings forecast for the period ahead, I seek an update on the flood relief and main drainage scheme in Bandon. Bandon is known as the gateway to west Cork. It is a beautiful town. It is the town where I grew up, where I and my husband settled and where we choose to bring up our two sons. There is a song called "Bandon...

Topical Issue Debate: Flood Relief Schemes Status (23 Jan 2018)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: That would be different anyway. However, it sums up my feelings for my native town. The Minister of State has visited it many times on a personal basis. Unfortunately, the town has been brought to its knees due to flooding on three occasions since 2009, the last two floods happening only weeks apart. I acknowledge the amazing heart and extreme resilience of the people of Bandon. They...

Section 39 Agency Staff Reimbursements: Motion [Private Members] (17 Jan 2018)

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: I commend my colleague Deputy Dara Calleary for bringing this motion before the House. Section 39 organisations provide essential services in local areas which might otherwise be overlooked. Given that the staff of section 39 organisations are categorised as not being public servants, why did the HSE make them subject to the FEMPI legislatin cuts? The matter is further exacerbated by...
