- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Scottish Water, Welsh Water and the Commission for Energy Regulation (8 Feb 2017)
Paul Murphy: Some of these figures are in litres per person per day, others, including the CER's, are in household cubic metres per year. Will Dr. McGowan translate the CER's figures into litres per person per day so that we can compare the figure of 140 in unmetered usage in Wales, for example?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Scottish Water, Welsh Water and the Commission for Energy Regulation (8 Feb 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Scottish Water, Welsh Water and the Commission for Energy Regulation (8 Feb 2017)
Paul Murphy: That would be perfect. In the CER's study on different models in England and Wales, its benchmarking indicated that Irish Water was approximately 70% to 100% less efficient than the mature utilities in those jurisdictions. How would those efficiencies be achieved? Would job losses and the like be included?

- Questions on Promised Legislation (9 Feb 2017)
Paul Murphy: When does the Tánaiste expect to see the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015 return to the Dáil, particularly in the context of the reported ferocious lobbying by the alcohol and retail industry against the structural separation of sale of alcohol? Will that element remain in the Bill? Does the Tánaiste agree that public health should take priority over profits?
- Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2017)
Paul Murphy: The Taoiseach mentioned the truth quite a few times. He is well known for having a casual relationship with the truth.
- Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2017)
Paul Murphy: The admission, or mea culpa, made by the Taoiseach a moment ago goes well beyond the man with two pints in his hand, the Army protecting the ATM machines or the people ringing up the Department of the Taoiseach to tell it how great the budget was. It goes well beyond that. Let us quote what the Taoiseach said on "This Week" on Sunday. He said:Minister Zappone, who is doing a very good job,...
- Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2017)
Paul Murphy: We need facts and statements from all of these and we need the ability to question them. Mr. Martin Callinan described what the whistleblowers were doing as "disgusting". That is the word that sums up the actions of the top gardaí in smearing Mr. Maurice McCabe, engaging in a pattern of black propaganda of a similar sort against at least two other gardaí, political policing,...
- Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2017)
Paul Murphy: Will the Taoiseach agree that what has happened here is utterly chilling, namely, a criminal conspiracy led by the hierarchy of the Garda to destroy the lives of gardaí who pose difficulties for them? If they felt able to do that against gardaí, what else are they willing to do to those who they consider to pose a threat to them? Does the Taoiseach agree that it is a fundamental...
- Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2017)
Paul Murphy: -----just as either the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Fitzgerald, or Deputy O'Callaghan were caught out. Facts are stubborn things. They cannot exist in two different states at the same time. Do I take it from the Taoiseach's response that he does not agree to Maurice McCabe's request that the six questions that have been posed be answered in advance of, or...

- Clarification of Statements made by the Taoiseach and Ministers: Statements (Resumed) (14 Feb 2017)
Paul Murphy: I will take two minutes, Deputy Coppinger will take two minutes and Deputy Boyd Barrett will take four minutes. People tuning in will be a little bemused to hear that the Taoiseach is looking for a pat on the back for telling the truth in the Dáil today and that it is some sort of event that is newsworthy. However, they have to ask themselves which version of the truth was he...
