Paul Murphy: One of the things which emerged from freedom of information was the Taoiseach's use of his private email for official Taoiseach-related emails. Can the Taoiseach provide an estimate of how many times he has used his private email for purposes related to his role as Taoiseach since taking office?

Paul Murphy: I mean in an all-encompassing way. It is not about the Taoiseach deciding where to go for a meal or things relating to his personal life or explicitly to Fine Gael party matters. I refer to things related specifically to his job as Taoiseach.

Paul Murphy: I have two final questions on the information which came out from freedom of information requests. Some of the information included correspondence between the Taoiseach's chief of staff and Mr. John Concannon on the idea of turning "republic of opportunity" from a slogan to a charter. It is obviously a slogan the Taoiseach used in the course of his campaign in Fine Gael to become leader of...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (28 Mar 2018)

Paul Murphy: For almost a year the Taoiseach has been telling us that he was going to speak truth to Donald Trump in the White House. On 21 June 2017, when referring to the visit to the White House the Taoiseach said "I will absolutely include in those meetings", with Donald Trump, "discussions of the issues he mentioned, whether it be climate change, human rights, LGBT rights and the need to respect...

Government Response to Salisbury Attack: Statements (27 Mar 2018)

Paul Murphy: What is happening here, in my opinion, is extremely dangerous. Ireland is being bounced into joining a dangerous ratcheting up of tension on a world scale on the side of the UK, the US and NATO, with Russia on the other side. This is part of a process of undermining the nominal neutrality that Ireland is meant to have and it comes two weeks after a Fine Gael MEP paper calling for a...

Topical Issue Debate: School Accommodation Provision (27 Mar 2018)

Paul Murphy: The reply is disappointing, which is unsurprising given that it is the same answer we got before. It does not grapple with the reality for this community of Citywest and Saggart. Saggart is the fastest growing urban town in the country and its population has increased by almost 50% since 2011. It is an area in which almost 1,785 new homes are being built and an increase in population of...

Topical Issue Debate: School Accommodation Provision (27 Mar 2018)

Paul Murphy: The case has been outlined clearly. The bottom line is that the numbers speak for themselves. Ninety-six children from four existing national schools in Saggart and Citywest will need second-level places in 2019. As Deputy Eoin Ó Broin mentioned, five ASD classes will need a second-level school by 2020. By 2022, 568 children will need second-level places. The answer so far,...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Loan Books Purchasers (27 Mar 2018)

Paul Murphy: Project Glas is a green light to destroy the lives of homeowners whose loans are included in this particular loan book sale. At a meeting of the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and the Taoiseach, last week, I and other Deputies asked representatives of Permanent TSB what would be their response if, in the process of formal consultation, the Government was to make...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Loan Books Purchasers (27 Mar 2018)

Paul Murphy: These mortgage holders have been subjected to a campaign to demean them as people who are not worthy of having mortgages or owning homes. A key part of this campaign was the Permanent TSB statement that some people have not engaged for more than seven years. When I asked the bank's representatives at the joint committee's meeting last week to indicate how many people have not engaged for...
