Ruairí Ó Murchú: 73. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if he will reconsider the criteria and thresholds of the affordable housing scheme, given that Louth County Council cited these issues as the reasons that only half of the houses offered under the scheme at Cois Farraige in Dundalk, County Louth, were successfully bought by scheme applicants; and if he will make a statement...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (29 May 2024)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: I ask for the Taoiseach for an update on the Covid-19 inquiry, its terms of reference and its individual modules. I am incredibly interested in the families that lost loved ones in Dealgan House Nursing Home at the beginning of Covid-19. I think the Taoiseach met with one of the family members when he was recently in Dundalk. At least 22 lost their lives in a really desperate set of...

- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: I think people understand where the Irish people are on the idea of neutrality. We know our own history. It is a history of colonisation and of resistance and struggle against it. That is part of the reason why we have a shared relationship with the Palestinians. It is partly a shared history of oppression and resistance to that. It has been a good week for this State in its recognition...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (29 May 2024)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: If we want more people on buses then we must provide the service. We all know the environmental benefits but we also know all the other benefits that can be provided.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (29 May 2024)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: I have previously raised the issue of the 100X route with the Minister. This is the Expressway service from Dundalk to Dublin and obviously back again. For many people it is the means by which to get to and from Dublin Airport. Some issues we bring up here have an impact on and relate to many people. In the period since I brought this up previously, I have been inundated. I acknowledge...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (29 May 2024)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: When I raised the issue before, my supplementary question related to the recruitment of mechanics for bus services. That is something that definitely needs to be addressed. I understand that Expressway is a commercial operation but if we are talking about trying to get people out of cars and making sure we are not putting undue pressure on car park services in the airport, we need to make...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Movement Ireland EU Poll 2024 - Ireland and Northern Ireland: Discussion (29 May 2024)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: As Deputy Howlin said, it is worth having some sort of information in front of us. In the last question-and-answer session, the witnesses dealt with some of this. They could probably do a deep dive on any of the individual issues raised. There are probably 14 supplementary questions, but I do not know whether someone is going to sit and do that work for three hours. I would really...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Movement Ireland EU Poll 2024 - Ireland and Northern Ireland: Discussion (29 May 2024)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: I know. Should Ireland invest more in its security and defence co-operation with the EU? We have not invested sufficiently in our Defence Forces at the minute, no matter what people think, so the answer to that is "Yes". People in the Defence Forces have not been paid enough in recent years. There are definite issues with the European Union and the European project at the minute and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Movement Ireland EU Poll 2024 - Ireland and Northern Ireland: Discussion (29 May 2024)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: Here is my question. It is a lot more complex. As was said earlier, the witnesses have been provided with some anecdotal or added information. As difficult as it is, every one of these needs a subheading so-----
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Special Educational Needs (28 May 2024)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: The important issue relates to the school building programme and ensuring that the planned extension will happen as soon as possible. Obviously, it would have been better if it had happened earlier, but it would be good to get a timeline for when we think it can be delivered. If it was in train, we would not have the issues we have been facing recently, whereby parents were told that there...
