Verona Murphy: Sorry Chair-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Road Safety Authority (27 Jun 2024)
Verona Murphy: I want to ask about roadside inspections for foreign registered vehicles. We had a very serious issue, and Mr. Waide may or may not be aware of it, in the road to the port of Rosslare. Seven foreign-registered vehicles with eastern European registrations were pulled for inspection and were deemed to be so unroadworthy that they could not even leave the area to drive to a test centre. If...

Verona Murphy: What is the cost of the roadside check? Where do we bring our testers from? For instance, do they come from Donegal if they are doing an inspection in Rosslare? Is there a strategic approach to keep costs down, such as by having vehicle testers in Rosslare who are from Wexford, etc.?

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Road Safety Authority (27 Jun 2024)
Verona Murphy: It is relevant to the Department more so, and the RSA. In relation to the bus drivers, it is pertinent that many parents are working and instead of a bus driver collecting their children from school - this is all to do with the tender process of Bus Éireann - they have their parents collecting them, many of whom are in their 80s. It is craziness. We need to be practical. We need to...

To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if she will extend free travel for car passengers to include the cost of a car on the Passage East ferry linking Passage East, County Waterford and Ballyhack, County Wexford; the reason the scheme is currently in place for foot passengers only given the ferry is a main access route for persons attending University Hospital...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Jun 2024)
Verona Murphy: I suggest respectfully that if the Taoiseach needs examples, he should undertake a review of the RTB. Believe you me, I could extend a level of examples. This is not the first time I have mentioned on the floor of the House that the RTB is no longer fit for purpose. It is the umpteenth time. Why are we running the country through the media? Why is Natasha O'Brien here today to give us...
