Seanad: An Bille um an Dara Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Deireadh a chur le Seanad Éireann) 2013: An Tuarascáil (Atógáil) - Thirty-second Amendment of the Constitution (Abolition of Seanad Éireann) Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) (23 Jul 2013)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: ...smallest issues. Where, for instance, one had a few hens that were fed with offal and had eggs at home, one now must register the hens to satisfy Europe. People who were doing some home baking and selling apple tarts and cakes to the local shop as wholesome food have had to change their kitchens and use stainless steel. I am taking the most insignificant examples merely to indicate...

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Oct 2011)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: ...at smaller issues. There is an excess of bureaucracy coming out of Europe. I see this at local level, where small indigenous industries want to be active. Someone might want to make cakes and apple tarts at home but they require a stainless steel kitchen and those who want to raise a few hens to lay eggs must register the hens. It has got out of hand. Has it got out of hand because we...

Seanad: Adult Education: Motion (2 Jun 2010)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: ...or major industries when it comes to employment. We must consider community employment and positions that help the individual, whether it is metalworking, basket making, crochet or delivering apple tarts to local shops. All such modes of employment have been important in the past and they do not suffer from the same winds of change as bigger industries. That is not to say that the whole...

Seanad: Twenty-Eighth Amendment of the Constitution (Treaty of Lisbon) Bill 2009: Second Stage (9 Jul 2009)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: ...it is so as a consequence of the way we have implemented some European directives. It is difficult to tell the person who keeps hens and is required to register them or the person who supplies apples tarts and scones to the local shops that he or she cannot continue to so unless he or she installs a stainless steel kitchen that they are not losing control when they are in those respects....

Seanad: Telecommunications Services: Motion (8 Jul 2009)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: ...focus more on supports for cottage-type industries, small businesses such as a man making wrought iron gates and employing five or six people and a person running a small bakery from home, selling apple tarts and scones. Such businesses are being set up, even though at times European bureaucracy has prevented such enterprise by almost deifying the idea of hygienic regulations etc....

Seanad: Development of the West: Statements (24 Feb 2009)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: I know for a fact there are aspects of regulations that other countries do not observe. In my area, many housewives who had no jobs outside the home were able to bake apple tarts, scones and cakes. One was delighted to get them and one would fight on one's back to get them. However, EU regulations were imposed on us stipulating, inter alia, that one must have steelware in the kitchen. One...

Seanad: Order of Business (25 Jun 2008)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: ...regulation but about nonsensical regulation. Even during the campaign on the referendum on the Lisbon treaty, it was raised on the doorsteps. I remember a time when the local housewife could make apple tarts and scones, bring them to the local shop and sell them. We knew they were wholesome and what the ingredients were. However, we are not quite sure how wholesome many of the mass...

Seanad: Order of Business (13 Mar 2008)

Labhrás Ó Murchú: ...idealistic gentleman as most members of the force are. They see their role as serving the community and ensuring security for all of us but there is a feeling among them that because of a few bad apples — which are found in every walk of society — the whole force has been tarred with the same brush. They see themselves as being denigrated and ridiculed at times. We have one of the...
