- Statement by Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment (18 Apr 2018)
Catherine Murphy: I asked the Minister a priority question on the 6th of that month and he responded on the record and set out the process, but he had already spoken to a lobbyist on behalf of INM on the 11th, and that is what he has told us on the record. Did it not strike him as strange that this lobbyist was telling him what the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission was going to do? Given that...
- Statement by Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment (18 Apr 2018)
Catherine Murphy: Does the Minister accept it was an error of judgment to continue with that phone call? Does he accept that not notifying his officials that the phone call had taken place was an error of judgment, or did he notify his officials that the phone call had taken place and the nature of the phone call? If the Minister did not notify his officials, was that not an error in judgment?
- Topical Issue Debate: Data Protection (18 Apr 2018)
Catherine Murphy: The Social Democrats believe that the Minister, Deputy Naughten, has no choice but to recuse himself from any role in media regulation. Legitimate concerns have been raised regarding the relationship between key players and media business in Ireland. The Minister has a quasi-judicial function in this. It is part of the reason he would not reply to me in this House when he was giving...
- Topical Issue Debate: Data Protection (18 Apr 2018)
Catherine Murphy: When I tabled the matter, I referred to the implications of recent and escalating developments regarding INM based on the ODCE's investigation into the company. At the time I was referring to the significant concerns about what could only be considered as the hacking of emails, which potentially compromised huge numbers of journalists and their sources, and had major implications in terms of...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (18 Apr 2018) Catherine Murphy: My question relates to air accident investigation insurance. We are told that there are two aviation insurance policies to indemnify against third party costs arising from aviation related incidents. Are they new? Are there claims and to what extent? I had always understood that the State does not take out separate insurance. Why is this the case in relation to this particular aspect?

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (18 Apr 2018) Catherine Murphy: I have a number of questions on this programme. The introduction of the third Luas line has exposed a capacity constraint in the city centre in terms of the amount of surface space to be shared. A project that is not included in the national development plan is the DART underground. The Minister referred to how every part of the country was accessible, but the place that is probably the...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (18 Apr 2018) Catherine Murphy: The Phoenix Park tunnel was always regarded as a temporary measure. With speeds and so forth, it does not equate with a DART underground. We already have a problem with capacity on surface rail. Without using below-ground capacity, there will always be that constraint. I was a member of the Dublin transportation initiative in the early 1990s when a suite of measures was deemed necessary...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (18 Apr 2018) Catherine Murphy: -----but this is infrastructure one would build for future generations. Some of the tunnels used as part of the London Underground are almost Victorian. It would be a long-term investment. Was the business case revisited? Is it even possible to revisit it? Did the Minister examine it in the context of the national development plan and was such an investment in such infrastructure...
