Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Apr 2024)

Paul Murphy: Giving €300 million to developers while 4,000 children are homeless, that is what he is interested in. Fianna Fáil is in the pockets of those who were in the Galway tent. It pretends to build houses and puts money into the pockets of developers. That is all it is interested in.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Employment Rights (18 Apr 2024)

Paul Murphy: It is scandalous that the Fine Gael Árd-Fheis was used to fly a kite in the interests of the employers to say the Government is considering delaying sick pay.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Employment Rights (18 Apr 2024)

Paul Murphy: That is what happened at the Fine Gael Árd-Fheis. That is what was reported. Now, in the Dáil, the Minister responsible has refused to clarify or give some reassurance to workers on whether the number of sick pay days are going to increase or not. That is scandalous. Workers have a right to know. The Minister cannot just fly a kite in the interests of the employers by telling...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Employment Rights (18 Apr 2024)

Paul Murphy: 61. To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he is planning to pause the planned increase in statutory sick pay days; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17044/24]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Employment Rights (18 Apr 2024)

Paul Murphy: In June 2021, the Minister's Department issued a press release, the strapline of which was: "All workers to get 10 days paid sick leave phased in between now and 2025". Now it is being reported that the Minister is going to betray this promise because of pressure from business owners. I have a very simple question. Will he will confirm or deny that he is going to pause the planned and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Employment Rights (18 Apr 2024)

Paul Murphy: That was as clear as mud; we do not have an answer. Is the Minister going to deliver the sick days that are promised to workers, which the Minister said are not just an issue of workers' rights but also public health? This is about forcing mostly low-paid workers to go to work when they are sick. Is the Minister going to deliver on that or pause it in the interests of those business...

Road Safety: Statements (17 Apr 2024)

Paul Murphy: I will speak for four and a half minutes or so and Deputy Barry will use the rest. It is about time we had a debate on the record of the RSA because it has become a sick joke. I wholeheartedly agree with the more than 30 road safety, cycling and pedestrian campaign groups that have stated that they have lost confidence in the authority because of the sharp increase in road deaths. They...

Disability Justice: Motion [Private Members] (17 Apr 2024)

Paul Murphy: I want to start by thanking all the disabled people's organisations that have participated in preparing this motion. Their demands are front and centre, which is exactly as it should be. So far, there is no sign of a Government countermotion, so I presume that means the Government is not going to oppose our motion and will allow it to pass. Before there is uproar and celebration in the...
