Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Employment Permits Bill 2022: Committee Stage (30 Nov 2022)

Paul Murphy: The rationale for this is very simple. It is to shift more power to the worker as opposed to the employer. It gives workers mobility and the ability to walk away from a bad exploitative employer and move somewhere else without all of the barriers that currently exist. It would reward good employers because it would mean people would stay with them as a consequence of them being good...

Toll Charge Increases: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (29 Nov 2022)

Paul Murphy: The proposed increase in tolls is just the latest part of a highway robbery that is being carried out by the private operators in this country. This highway robbery is facilitated by the Government and by Fianna Fáil, historically, which developed this whole notion of public private partnerships, PPP. The robbery continues apace. The Government indicated it is going to pay to put off...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Strategies (29 Nov 2022)

Paul Murphy: The strategy refers to the need for citizen-focused communication. In that context I raise the case of Frank Mulcahy.

The Taoiseach was the Minister in the relevant Department at the time. He...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Ukraine War (29 Nov 2022)

Paul Murphy: The Taoiseach knows that we are completely opposed to Ireland's participation in the so-called military assistance mission of the EU to train the Ukrainian army. Training one side in a military conflict is a breach of military neutrality. This is part of a drive to integrate Ireland into a process of European militarisation and align Ireland with NATO. It is a full-spectrum military...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (29 Nov 2022)

Paul Murphy: The Taoiseach said we are keeping 1.5 alive, but there is no evidence of that. The world is on a trajectory of perhaps 3.5°C warming, if not worse. There is no greater illustration of the failure of COP27 and the failure of this capitalist system to address the climate crisis than the absence of a commitment even to phase out fossil fuels. The failure to recognise that and include it...
