Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (2 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: This is about the fifth time I have brought this issue up. I am back to the passport and ID issue of members of the Garda identifying that they sign the passport application. I am back to the parent of a first-time applicant. The Passport Office is unable to get in touch with the garda who signed the application. The office has contacted the same Garda station four times. Surely at this...

Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (1 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: When this Bill was raised initially, I supported it to get it across the line so we could find out exactly what it entailed. I come from a huge sporting county, of all sports and none, especially horses, dogs and sporting clubs. At the moment, the Government is making announcements about all and sundry that it can get out before the election with regard to grants that are going to be...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (1 May 2024)

Verona Murphy: On Monday evening, I attended a meeting in Kilmore. Forty-six children have concessionary tickets but no bus to take them to school in Wexford town. They all have working parents. It was brought to my attention that, apparently three weeks ago, there was a bus put on for the very same situation in Gowran, County Kilkenny, where Deputy McGuinness was informed that he would not be getting a...

Support for Carers: Motion [Private Members] (24 Apr 2024)

Verona Murphy: I thank the Minister of State for sitting in for the Minister, Deputy Humphreys. I acknowledge that some good work has been carried out by the Minister but I remind everyone that we have had no discussion of this issue in the House since the failed referendum. I remind the House of the commitment of the former Taoiseach, Deputy Varadkar, that the Government will continue to increase...

Acknowledgement and Apology to the Families and to the Victims of the Stardust Tragedy: Statements (23 Apr 2024)

Verona Murphy: I am privileged to be here to address you today. As a Member of this House, I am only four years elected. I would have been nine years old when the tragedy happened. I cannot pretend to remember but I have felt everything that has been said through the inquest in the last number of days, as well as every name I have heard and every family that has been remembered, particularly those who...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Coastal Erosion (18 Apr 2024)

Verona Murphy: I thank the Minister of State. I am glad he provided that to me because I asked the director of services for it last week, but I think he said he was going to play golf or something on Thursday. He did not manage to get it to me by this Thursday. The problem is that much of what we have discussed was set down in a report in 2018 and 2019. I went back over that report and six years later...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Coastal Erosion (18 Apr 2024)

Verona Murphy: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle and thank the Minister of State for bring here to respond to the Topical Issue. In fairness, there are two things, in particular, in County Wexford, that we should focus on with regards to erosion. The first is prevention. As we all know, a stitch in time saves nine. In the context of coastal erosion, this phrase is particularly relevant. Proper...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (17 Apr 2024)

Verona Murphy: I wish the Taoiseach the best of luck in his job. Wexford has a deficit in roads funding of €66 million. I raised this as a Topical Issue on the floor a month ago. It was taken by a junior Minister, who promised there would be engagement with the line Minister, but I have heard nothing. We have a deplorable set of circumstances. The roads are in an awful state. Many roads in the...

Verona Murphy: Can we amend the motion?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Apr 2024)

Verona Murphy: We need objective opinion.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Apr 2024)

Verona Murphy: Contributions to what? It is just a Minister's briefing - from a biased Minister who has already said she approves of opting in.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Apr 2024)

Verona Murphy: With regard to the motion on the European migration pact, it is imperative that we have a full and frank discussion. This can only be done where we have objective witnesses brought before a committee who can help us to establish whether there are constitutional or legal implications for the country and its people. I ask respectfully that the Chief Whip takes it back to the Business...

Future Ireland Fund and Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund Bill 2024: Second Stage (10 Apr 2024)

Verona Murphy: Just transition is a phrase which has and continues to be used by the Government and activists when it comes to becoming more environmentally sustainable. However, as I have said when I have spoken on the matter, I believe our transition is unjust. Just last week we saw the latest contradiction put forward by Government. On the one hand the Government pressed ahead with increases in the...
