Eviction Ban Bill 2022: Motion (27 Sep 2023)

Paul Murphy: We proposed it and it should be done everywhere. Instead of saying that we have to give these people tax breaks to stay in the market, we should tell them that if they want to leave there is no problem, the State will buy the property and we will expand our public housing. This needs to be expanded throughout the country. I want to raise the cases of illegal eviction in this country...

Eviction Ban Bill 2022: Motion (27 Sep 2023)

Paul Murphy: Why are we, at the start of another Dáil term, debating something the House debated previously and passed, namely, our Bill? We are here again because the Government is deliberately blocking it. It is leaving the Bill in committee or not even progressing it to committee because the Government is opposed to the reintroduction of the eviction ban, despite the fact the Dáil passed...

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Paul Murphy: Let us even take that. The Minister says 4 August, but on 25 July, the Minister responds to detailed questions. He does not respond with detail and he kicks it off to CHI, which is the process, and I still do not have an answer to those questions from CHI. Therefore, the Minister was aware of the allegations at what time - was it 25 July?

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Paul Murphy: The Minister said he always wanted to see the publication of the external review. I asked him about that in mid-July. I asked about publication and, at that stage, the Minister did not say that, although he said it would be communicated to people appropriately. Why did he not say at that stage that he was going to publish the report?

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Paul Murphy: Then the question is why it took so long. A specific question was put to the Minister and I got an answer from CHI in May, so the question must have been put in April. The question “...asked the Minister for Health if he is aware of any external or internal pressure being placed on clinical staff at Temple Street to restart spina bifida-related surgeries in advance of the conclusion...

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Paul Murphy: I am telling the Minister that was the case in March. I want to go back to the timeline. I think the Minister accepted the reason things were published and processed was because of the article in The Ditch. I want to go all the way back to last year. Does the Minister know that the first freedom of information requests, FOIs, from the journalist, Pádraig Ó Meiscill, were...

I am going to ask a series of detailed questions of the Minister later on, but for now I just want to put some things on the record. Various people are asking questions and so on, and I happen to know the answer to some of them. For example, I know that three...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (26 Sep 2023)

Paul Murphy: Today's edition of The Irish Timesreports that the Government is considering reducing tax on rental income. Why on earth should people pay less tax on passive income than they pay on earned income? Why on earth should tenants pay a higher rate of tax on their income than landlords pay on their income? The justification for this is the idea that there is a flood of landlords leaving the...
