Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Nov 2023)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...the significant issues that arise in the large towns of Dundalk and Drogheda, the M1 and the Border. Kerry is being maintained as a single division, and Donegal, which was to be amalgamated with Sligo and Leitrim, is to be maintained as a single division. I have worries in regard to how this will work out in terms of Garda operationality in future in this area.

Ceisteanna - Questions: National Risk Assessment (4 Oct 2023)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...with responsibility for serious crime, who will be based in Bailieborough, will have to deal with the entire region. I understand the streamlining, but Donegal will not be included with Sligo and Leitrim, something that was due to happen. I understand Kerry will also be a stand-alone division. What is happening does not make sense. We all know of the issues there have been in Louth,...

An Garda Síochána: Motion [Private Members] (4 Oct 2023)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...to him myself, along with Deputy Munster. I cannot say that the reply we got was exactly what I was looking for. Kerry is to remain a stand-alone division. Donegal, which was to go in with Sligo and Leitrim is to remain a stand-alone division. It does not make any sense in regard to County Louth. We know the particular issues we have had in County Louth. We talk about the loss of...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...Limerick, Kerry, Cork city, Galway, DMR South Central, Mayo-Roscommon-Longford and Clare-Tipperary. Mayo-Roscommon-Longford is the only three-county model. There were plans to amalgamate Donegal and Sligo-Leitrim but that was reviewed and overturned and, therefore, it is on that basis that it makes sense to reconsider. I call on the Minister to engage with the Commissioner and his...

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

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I will use the example of Donegal and Sligo-Leitrim. They said it was done on a geographic basis. I accept that Louth is the smallest county but it has two huge towns. If we are going to talk about crime statistics, unfortunately, Louth can hold its own with the best. That is something we would prefer was not the case but that is the reality when you are dealing with big urban centres....

Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill 2023: Second Stage (20 Sep 2023)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...writing to both the Minister and to the Garda Commissioner asking that Louth would be subsumed into a three-county model alongside Cavan and Monaghan. If it was not good enough for Donegal and the Sligo-Leitrim division, it is not good enough for Louth, particularly with the big towns and the huge crime stats that need to be dealt with.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Sep 2023)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...form that this is operational. I call for engagement with the Minister from the point of view of stalling, reviewing and overturning as happened when there was an attempt for County Donegal to be put with Sligo-Leitrim. This would be one of the few three-county models and it is in no way workable. At the same time, that is happening in December. On 6 November, we are going to lose...

Remediation of Dwellings Damaged By the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill 2022: Second Stage (30 Jun 2022)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ..., building product surveillance: it is fair to say they were not up to scratch, far from it. We have failed a number of people miserably. We are talking at the minute about Donegal, Mayo, Clare, Sligo, Limerick, Tipperary and up to seven more counties. I have heard a number of Teachtaí talk about my constituency of Louth. This is a small island and it is difficult to see how it...
