What the Minister of State brings to the Seanad is likely to...

Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023)

Catherine Murphy: ...this regard. This goes back to my point about the absence of a central piece in this legislation.

Abuse at Certain Educational Institutions: Statements (24 Nov 2022)

Catherine Murphy: ...damage and hurt, and the deaths, the Catholic Church has inflicted. We have had glimpses of it and the scale of it has probably terrified the State. Many victims want justice.

Catherine Murphy: ...is an important point. In cities, it will often be in these spaces that people socialise and get to know their neighbours.

Catherine Murphy: ...ambitions when he invaded Ukraine, those ambitions lie in tatters. Putin has not increased Russia's prestige or its power on the world stage.

Catherine Murphy: ...Mr. Burgess for that. I will also ask about Irish Aid and Palestine. The briefing cites a figure of €12.7 million for 2019 only. I am trying to address cases where medical supplies might be destroyed by conflict, for example. Does the Department seek reparations in such cases? Has it recovered anything from Israel in that year? Is that approach taken by the Department?

Catherine Murphy: ...accounts, as has already been referred to. The Garda finds that easy to detect because those involved are in plain sight. Those people are acting as money mules, and we do not want young people to have their lives destroyed by having criminal convictions. It was very useful that there was media attention on that.

Public Services Card: Statements (25 Sep 2019)

Catherine Murphy: ...provide forms of identification such as utility bills. That is understandable.
