Confidence in Government: Motion (12 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: If Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are part of the Government, they will continue to represent the same interests: the developers, corporate landlords and big corporations. What we need to have and fight for is a left Government without Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (12 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: There is no economy on a dead planet and yet the European Commission has proposed, and scandalously, the European Council and European Parliament have agreed to, simply labelling fossil gas and nuclear power as green, as if calling them green somehow makes them green.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Functions (12 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: I also want to ask the Taoiseach about what seems to be an incredible case of corporate capture of politics. We have a situation where, on 7 January 2016, John Moran told Uber executives he had made proposals to the economic adviser of the then Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, to include supportive language about the sharing economy in the Fine Gael manifesto.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: The Government likes to talk the talk when it comes to the climate crisis but it repeatedly fails to walk the walk.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Jul 2022)

Paul Murphy: I agree with the points that have been made. The Government's approach in regard to the planning Bill is an absolute scandal.
