Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach (5 Feb 2019)

Paul Murphy: But decisions over public spending are not such an important part. What the Government signed up for and what it was in favour of when it came to the fiscal treaty were clearly related to sovereignty but the Government did not care.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach (5 Feb 2019)

Paul Murphy: Sure.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach (5 Feb 2019)

Paul Murphy: Is that whenever the fiscal rules are responsible for our not being able to use the money we have to build housing? Does the Minister think the excessive deficit procedure and the fact that we have this money in the pensions reserve fund and so on that we cannot use because of one of the fiscal rules are good things?

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (31 Jan 2019)

Paul Murphy: A Programme for a Partnership Government gives a commitment to protect and promote human rights. In that regard and to keep that commitment, I ask whether the Government will condemn what is a clear and ongoing coup attempt in Venezuela? It is a coup which is clearly made in the USA, it is directed by President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, it...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (31 Jan 2019)

Paul Murphy: The transition plan of the National Assembly of Venezuela openly speaks about mass privatisation, mass dismissals from the public sector and the implementation of neoliberal policies. Will the Government condemn this coup attempt?

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (31 Jan 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Joint Committee (31 Jan 2019)

Paul Murphy: It is a good idea to have this brief session. The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Donohoe, is coming in to us next week. I would hope that by the time he comes in the situation is resolved and that the Government and the HSE have given a meaningful indication that they are willing to move substantially on the question of pay restoration and pay parity. If the Government...

Written Answers — Department of Finance: Revenue Commissioners Enforcement Activity (30 Jan 2019)

Paul Murphy: 99. To ask the Minister for Finance the number of the 18,000 construction employment investigations carried out in 2016 which resulted in the €58 million yield to the Exchequer which were compliant; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4632/19]

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Relations (29 Jan 2019)

Paul Murphy: That is a scandalous answer from the Minister of State on behalf of the Government. He said: "As far as the Government is concerned, there are sufficient unions already available to ambulance staff." As my colleague, Deputy Bríd Smith said, we do not care what the Government thinks about which unions workers should be in. The workers decided that their membership of SIPTU was not...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Relations (29 Jan 2019)

Paul Murphy: We are 14 hours precisely from the placing of pickets on hospitals across the country as part of the nurses' strike. The fact that strike is happening is an indication of the crises that exist in the health service, of which the nurses are at the front line, and a scenario whereby their wages are inadequate. They endure pay inequality and they cannot survive considering the cost of living...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Human Rights Cases (29 Jan 2019)

Paul Murphy: Let us talk about Venezuela.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

Paul Murphy: I have a couple of questions on Brexit before focusing on bogus self-employment. Mr. Michel Barnier stated in yesterday's Luxembourg Timesthat there will be checks in the case of a no-deal Brexit. He stated everything possible would be done to enforce them unobtrusively but that will not be possible with everything. He asked how animals crossing the Border would be taken into account if...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

Paul Murphy: Sure. There was a question earlier about customs being a European competence, which was significant. I will pose this question very simply. If after the end of March, for example, there is a crash-out Brexit and if the European Commission says there has to be some form of border checks on the island of Ireland, is it legally the responsibility of Revenue to implement them, given that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

Paul Murphy: Hypothetically, if the Commission said that, as a result of this crash-out Brexit, we need to have borders at every point where British goods are entering, which would apply particularly between the North and the South of Ireland, would the Revenue Commissioners not simply have to implement that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

Paul Murphy: I want to move on to the question of bogus self-employment. Does Revenue have any estimate on or does it do any work to establish the loss to the public purse as a result of so-called bogus self-employment?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

Paul Murphy: I was at a committee meeting with the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection recently and it said it does not keep any statistics for the number of cases of bogus self-employment it deals with because it deals with one end of the problem and Revenue is dealing with another end of the problem. Revenue obviously does not have very definite figures or estimates on what is lost....
