Chapter 12: Stock Management in the Defence Forces (23 May 2024)

Catherine Murphy: In terms of risk assessment, obviously, we are an island and the Naval Service is very important from that point of view. We have had some very high-profile drug seizures that required oversight. Certainly, one of them appears not to have been intelligence-led but was kind of fortunate. The other thing is that there has been activity in terms of Russian submarines in Irish waters, or...

Road Safety and Maintenance: Motion [Private Members] (15 May 2024)

Catherine Murphy: The number of people killed in incidents on our roads is an issue of major concern for all of us.
