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.

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.

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

Margaret Murphy O'Mahony: Despite an undertaking by the previous Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, in 2011 to bring an end to the trolley crisis, seven years later we find ourselves debating this issue in circumstances where the problem has become worse not better.
