Paul Murphy (Dublin South West, RISE) | Oireachtas source

As a member of Fine Gael, does it trouble the Minister of State that Uber wrote a section of its election manifesto in 2016? Does he know if that is the case and, if so, does it trouble him? Does it trouble him that Mr. John Moran, a former political insider and Secretary General of the Department of Finance, was boasting to Uber about how he could effectively bypass the regular registered lobbying practices by getting personal access to the then Minister for Finance, former Deputy Michael Noonan, by dropping over to his house or sending him a text or because he knew at which pubs to find him? Does it bother the Minister of State that much of this actual lobbying, which should have been registered, was not? What is the Government's plan to ensure this kind of practice cannot be followed again and does not have to be revealed by leaks?
