Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Mar 2024)

Eugene Murphy: I welcome the latest announcement from the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine regarding the agri-climate rural environmental scheme, ACRES. This is a very important scheme. Initially, it was intended that it would accept 30,000 applicants but there has been huge demand for it. The Minister insisted that the number of applicants be increased to 46,000. On top of that, an extra...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Mar 2024)

Eugene Murphy: I welcome the decision by an investigation group in An Garda Síochána to clear a garda member in the midlands who, during the Covid-19 pandemic, gave an unclaimed bicycle to a poor, unfortunate person living in a rural area. The garda was suspended for three years, his family went through hell and I do not know what his neighbours thought. This type of carry-on is not acceptable....

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Mar 2024)

Eugene Murphy: I hope the Commissioner will now follow suit and give him full clearance. I ask that the Seanad send a letter to the Minister for Justice to ensure this type of treatment is not meted out to any other person. We praised gardaí during the Covid-19 period for what they did in looking after people, just as all of the front-line workers did. This case was a terrible injustice.

Seanad: Seachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (6 Mar 2024)

Eugene Murphy: Is ráiteas deas é sin. Glaoim anois ar bhean a bhfuil Gaeilge láidir aici ó Phort Láirge agus ó Bhaile Átha Cliath. Níl mé ábalta a hainm a rá i nGaeilge, but maybe she can educate us on this matter.

Eugene Murphy: I pay tribute to the students from Elphin Community College, County Roscommon, who recently went to the Junk Kouture world final. Up against 60 finalists from throughout the world, they came away with a major prize sponsored by Microsoft. The ladies, Vanessa Kielty, Mary McNulty and Martha Nugent, and their teacher, Susan Prendergast, should be highly commended. This small post-primary...
