Catherine Murphy: ...housing from their local property tax. This replaces Government grants to these councils. Of the €108 million spent in this way, €86 million came from the four Dublin local authorities. Counties such as Cork, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow are growing areas and they are at the heart of this problem. The entire system is unfair and the Government knows it. When will it...

Catherine Murphy: ...pressures. Areas, such as Kildare, where there is continued and sustained growth will be in the forefront, as will places such as Meath and Wicklow, Fingal, places around the suburbs of Cork etc. The intention is to identify those pressures and to provide sites, and ultimately schools, in advance of the need. Obviously, that requires the recruitment of staff and all that goes with a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Advancing the Low-Carbon Transition in Irish Transport: Discussion (19 Jun 2019)

Catherine Murphy: ...Obviously, I am only looking at one location. The witnesses are considering places such are Galway, that is choked with traffic, and what is being suggested as the solution. They are considering Cork and Limerick because there is a dispersed population pattern in the more rural areas. That is more difficult to deal with from a public transport perspective. I am looking at the plans...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: All-Ireland Cruise Ship Action Group: Discussion (29 May 2019)

Catherine Murphy: All of our guests are very welcome. During the local elections, I was in the proud county of Cork which sees itself as the real capital. It is rare to hear people in Cork advocating for something in Dublin. That message was heard loud and clear on this issue, however, because people know what impact this decision will have on Cobh, Cork and south. That was very noticeable. What I am...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (24 Jan 2019)

Catherine Murphy: ...reached crisis point. It looked like there would be nowhere to dispose of waste. I believe the permissions for both the Meath and Wicklow sites were extended on a temporary basis. The proposed Cork incinerator - I am not sure where that is in the process - was being relied on. I am not sure if it is appropriate to this committee or if it should be dealt with by the Committee on...

Catherine Murphy: ...or it will be paid a State subsidy to make up the difference. There are huge implications. Any day of the week I could go to Sallins and stand on the bridge and watch trucks coming from Kerry and Cork where they collected the rubbish in the morning before driving to Kildare and dumping the rubbish in Drehed. It is not a terribly good way to design a waste policy.

Not all local authorities make a contribution to it, only those in the likes of Dublin, some commuter belt counties, Galway and Cork, which are the likely winners in a reconfiguration if the baselines change.

There are now more people living in counties Meath, Kildare and Wicklow than there are in Dublin city and Cork city and county.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Apr 2018)

Catherine Murphy: I echo many of those comments. The counties of Meath, Kildare and Wicklow have a greater combined population than the whole county of Cork. That is not appreciated. The model for distributing resources dates back to four censuses ago and does not factor in more recent ones. We were told on the day that questions could not be answered because the Minister was imminently going to make an...

Provision of Cost-Rental Public Housing: Motion [Private Members] (6 Mar 2018)

Catherine Murphy: ...be spending on his or her accommodation needs but people are going way beyond it and are denying themselves food and heat to compensate. It is a case of Hobson's choice. To buy an ordinary home in Cork or Galway, one needs to be earning five times the average wage. It is eight times the average wage for homes in Dublin. Therefore, renting becomes the default option for so many...

Catherine Murphy: ...Mr. O'Rourke make concerning the transition between those two very different strategies? Growth has mainly been in the suburbs. I do not refer to Dublin only as one should consider the growth in Cork, which has mainly been in the suburbs and in Limerick, things are exactly the same.
