Michael Fitzmaurice: I congratulate the Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Troy, on his marriage to his better half during the summer. My question is to ascertain whether the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Leo Varadkar, is satisfied that Irish food export companies are fully prepared for the changes proposed as part of the post-Brexit...

Brexit and Business: Statements (7 Oct 2020)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this issue. I have spoken to the Minister of State, Deputy Troy, previously, but this is my first time to speak to him in the Dáil, so I wish him luck as a new Minister. The uncertainty around Brexit is ferocious. Whether people like it or not and whether they live in a city or a rural area, we must realise that food is transported between...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Transport Sector: Discussion (6 Feb 2019)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...get into that. However, if one looks at the amendment, it is now being put in under TEN-T and will become a core node. If that can be done there, then surely in the context of Brexit, as Deputy Troy pointed out, it can be done on the west and north west with a core node including Killybegs, Galway and places such as Knock included in the frame.

Promoting Cycling: Motion [Private Members] (19 Dec 2018)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I welcome the holding of this debate and compliment Deputy Troy. It is clear to anybody who drives into a city every morning that more and more people are using bicycles.

It is a death trap when...

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 May 2018)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...away with ourselves. When we go on a roll with things in here, it can be like a wave bringing us along. Sometimes we have to make a stand and show some common sense. My amendment and that of Deputy Troy are quite similar. I have no problem if his amendment is taken first or is given precedence because it has been tabled on the same basis. We are saying that the fine and the number...

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 May 2018)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I have submitted amendments to the Bill, as have Deputies Troy and Danny Healy-Rae. If he reads them, the Minister will see that they contain many common-sense proposals. There is also compromise in the amendments tabled. We should be clear on one aspect. The reason these amendments have been submitted is that in parts of rural Ireland the nearest taxi service is 15 miles or 20 km away....

Topical Issue Debate: County Boundaries (21 Jan 2016)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...any time. The Minister has it in his gift to call a halt to this proposal before the election. He can say to forget about it and scrap it because it makes no sense. Furthermore, in fairness to Deputy Troy and the Westmeath side, they wrote a letter saying that it does not make any sense and they are not supporting it. Boxer Moran has made it very clear. Many public representatives...
