- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination Arising From Rape: Mr. Tom O'Malley, NUI Galway; Dublin Rape Crisis Centre; and Dr. Maeve Eogan, Rotunda Hospital (25 Oct 2017)
Catherine Murphy: As Mr. O'Malley has outlined, there is a variety of grounds. He talked about stranger rape where there is a lot of evidence such as injuries and things like that. Who would gather all of that information? How quickly can it practically used? It does not seem practical to collect all of that to start with, as it is a very traumatised environment. Let us say a case is difficult to prove,...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination Arising From Rape: Mr. Tom O'Malley, NUI Galway; Dublin Rape Crisis Centre; and Dr. Maeve Eogan, Rotunda Hospital (25 Oct 2017)
Catherine Murphy: I want to ask a question about a criminal trial for someone who is accused of rape and where a termination was permitted by the panel. How is that scenario presented in evidence?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: Termination for Medical Reasons Ireland (25 Oct 2017)
Catherine Murphy: I thank the witnesses for sharing their experiences. Unfortunately people often need to hear real people talking about real experiences to get a full understanding of what exactly is involved. I have a question for Ms Cullen-Delsol. I know she did not travel. What would it have meant to her to have had different care pathways available to her here? What difference would that have made?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: Termination for Medical Reasons Ireland (25 Oct 2017)
Catherine Murphy: I thank Ms Cullen-Delsol for sharing that with us. The written submission from Termination for Medical Reasons Ireland included two testimonies, by Aoife and Sarah. Sometimes other medical issues arise, such as sepsis, which was a very big risk to Aoife, or, for Sarah, issues relating to continuing care that had to happen in a psychiatric hospital which, she says, was not to do with the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Rail, Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus: Chairpersons Designate (25 Oct 2017)
Catherine Murphy: I will try to be brief. I will start with Bus Éireann. Mr. Murphy in his opening statement said the customer is central. I am sorry to say that does not bear out my recent experience with Bus Éireann. The only way I can test its commitment to putting the customer at the centre is with the complaints I get from people. I have ongoing, daily complaints from people left behind...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Rail, Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus: Chairpersons Designate (25 Oct 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Rail, Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus: Chairpersons Designate (25 Oct 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Rail, Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus: Chairpersons Designate (25 Oct 2017)
Catherine Murphy: I will move on to a number of other issues regarding Bus Éireann then. The €9.5 million deficit is up from €6 million. Mr. Murphy might come back to us and tell us why that is. Regarding the non-PSO routes, is there a level playing pitch in respect of the competition given that, having talked to the National Transport Authority, it seems pay and pensions are not an issue...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Rail, Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus: Chairpersons Designate (25 Oct 2017)
Catherine Murphy: Yes. It is an issue that comes up constantly in respect of Dublin Bus. I accept that it often comes down to the goodwill of passengers, especially those with buggies, but it is not unusual for wheelchair users to have to wait for several buses to pass by before they can board one. Are additional powers needed for bus drivers to impose rules as to who should have priority? Would a...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Rail, Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus: Chairpersons Designate (25 Oct 2017)
Catherine Murphy: I will explain my question. Mr. Allen says it is €103 million for the next five years. If that money is not spent has he done an assessment of when it will get to that point?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Rail, Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus: Chairpersons Designate (25 Oct 2017)
Catherine Murphy: Mr. Allen can refer back to me on that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Rail, Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus: Chairpersons Designate (25 Oct 2017)
Catherine Murphy: I wish to make a comment. I am a member of the Committee of Public Accounts and in response to a question I asked in that committee the Department of Finance said that due to missing the targets we will have a financial obligation to pay fines of €600 million per year from 2021.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Rail, Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus: Chairpersons Designate (25 Oct 2017)
