Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...kit. My office dealt with her and when we got in contact on 30 January we were told no application had been made. We were then told everything was being dealt with through the hubs in Cork. I am aware of multiple other issues, some of which I will detail in my supplementary question. There is a problem. I see the logic. We need to make sure the system works. If material is being...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (28 Sep 2023)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...the Garda Senior Leadership Team has made the decision that Louth and Cavan/Monaghan will be amalgamated into one Division. The operating model is already implemented in seven divisions: Limerick, Kerry, Cork city, Galway, DMR South Central, Mayo-Roscommon-Longford and Clare-Tipperary.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rail Network (19 Jan 2023)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...in place and Ministers to be in their roles doing the necessary jobs for the people be avoided? Beyond that, I ask the Minister for an update on the rail plans for Dublin, Belfast and beyond to Cork, including electrification. We are still operating on the same timeline in respect of the rail ticketing system, which is obviously necessary from the point of view of producing a tax...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Aviation Policy: Aer Lingus (Resumed) (14 Dec 2022)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...to the regional strategy. There has been a lot of discussion on that issue today and it is not the first time we have discussed it. Willie Walsh and Michael O'Leary have put forward the view that Cork and Shannon airports, in particular, can do business but that such business cannot be by way of displacement from Dublin. Dublin is the hub. Point-to-point provision makes complete sense...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...or wherever else. The regional airports will not be players until the Government changes the nature of how the system operates. Is that fair to say? We can talk forever about Shannon Airport and Cork Airport, etc., but they are never going to be employed as part of a wider solution alongside Dublin Airport until a determination is made at governmental level. I am just asking for the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: Either way, it is the other one. We are where we are. DAA has looked at Cork Airport from a point of view of human resources. Where else has it looked? If it is completely under pressure and stretched, has it had a conversation with the Government about the possibility of bringing people in? Are there any suitable people within State services? There is much talk of bringing in the Army....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...whether there is anything else that can be done by the State. If we are talking about bringing people in who can do some of the checking, I understand the DAA has access to the resources at Cork Airport but not necessarily to the resources of the other airports. It can request help from the Government, and the Government, in turn, can request that assistance. Is that conversation happening?

Ministerial Rota for Parliamentary Questions: Motion: Taoiseach's Communications (25 Jan 2022)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...between NATO and the Russians. We all know Ireland has certain radar system failings. There is a possibility that Russian operations, which should not be undertaken, will be carried out off Cork. Mr. Tom Clonan has spoken about the need for Ireland to build up our peacekeeping capacity. In saying that, we all accept we are not going to war with Russia, but this is an incredibly...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate (7 Oct 2021)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...to Mr. Ó Céidigh if he has already dealt with some of the issues I want to raise. He mentioned a national airport authority and that he does nor foresee a situation where Shannon Airport necessarily has to be at loggerheads with the DAA, Dublin Airport, Cork Airport and so on. It is about the plans. Mr. Ó Céidigh responded to questions from Deputy Cathal Crowe and...
