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...

Paul Murphy: No. I think we need to have a debate on Syria today, or for two hours at approximately 6 p.m. tomorrow. In excess of 100 missiles were fired by the US, France and Britain at the weekend on the pretext that it was a response to an abhorrent chemical weapons attack. The conflict in Syria is a gross humanitarian catastrophe. More than 500,000 people have been killed and millions of people...

Paul Murphy: -----and the outside forces of western imperialism and Russian imperialism on the other side. The problem is that the world is heading to a very dangerous place. The Government is seeking to line up this country with western imperialism. The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade has said he can understand why the military action took place. We have not had a debate on this.

Paul Murphy: In 2017, the Tallaght intercultural centre provided a point of contact and a route into education, work and inclusion for 197 people of 39 different nationalities. The Clondalkin intercultural centre did something similar. Unfortunately both now face closure due to a lack of €80,000 in funding from the Department of Justice and Equality. How does that tally with the commitment in...
