Criminal Justice (Enforcement Powers) (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (3 Sep 2020)

Catherine Murphy: I ask the Minister to facilitate, on or before 9 November, a debate on this matter or what mechanism is envisaged in terms of the sunset clause. With regard to sentiment, as I stated earlier, one of the things we need in all of this is hope. People need to feel that they are being listened to. They need to feel that the Government is charting how we live with this virus and will bring...

Criminal Justice (Enforcement Powers) (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Committee Stage (3 Sep 2020)

Catherine Murphy: I agree with some of the points made in regard to the priority being given to this legislation and what that says about the priority for a sector that is closed and in respect of which damage has already been done. I made that point on Second Stage. The public messaging has changed from legislators appealing to people's best nature to a more punitive approach. That needs to be reflected on...

Criminal Justice (Enforcement Powers) (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Second Stage (2 Sep 2020)

Catherine Murphy: This is the first legislation that has been debated under the new rotation and time slots. We want to again talk about our displeasure in respect of this. It was always the case that the Government presented the proposition and the Opposition got the opportunity to respond. That has now changed in that there is a second Government slot and a second Sinn Féin slot. In fact, that will...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Sep 2020)

Catherine Murphy: Does that mean the Taoiseach will set up a task force? Will he provide the data people want? It generates goodwill if people can see the situation for themselves. We are talking here about adults who have doubts but who are being told "It's grand; we have it; it'll work; we know best". That does not wash; people want to see the information. The information is there in the data hub and it...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Sep 2020)

Catherine Murphy: We will have to live with Covid until a vaccine is found. That is self-evident. One significant ingredient in dealing with that is maintaining public goodwill. To do that, the message and information have to be coherent and understood, and the measures that are taken have to be seen to be fair and proportionate. Another component is that when something is a failure, we need to name it as...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Sep 2020)

Catherine Murphy: We had a discussion at the Business Committee and some of us will be very unhappy with the fact that the process is not the best practice to start with. Some of us are living with that even though it is far from ideal. That has been pointed out and noted. One of the concerns was that there would be additional measures introduced in the legislation. Where that is not the case, the very...

Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (30 Jul 2020)

Catherine Murphy: I reiterate the point that there was no objection to this at the Business Committee. We are going to go into the autumn session and we will have a whole lot of different arrangements on which we will have to have good agreement between the parties. Essentially, Members will start in September with an outrageous proposal that changes-----

Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (30 Jul 2020)

Catherine Murphy: This is absolutely outrageous. The Tánaiste said today that they were reintroducing democracy. The first proposal to reintroduce democracy is to deny a debate on something that is about the nature of our democracy. This is not about stopping speaking time; this is about how the speaking time is organised. That is what it is about.

Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (30 Jul 2020)

Catherine Murphy: I have a proposal from the Business Committee. I move: It is proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, or the Order of Business of Tuesday, 28 July that: (a) on the conclusion of proceedings on the Civil Law and Criminal Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020, the following motions be taken without debate today: - motion re establishment of select committees; - motion to...
