Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Middle East (21 Oct 2020)

Paul Murphy: 119. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade his views on the cases of political prisoners (details supplied) in Bahrain who were sentenced to death. [31932/20]

Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (Covid-19) Act 2020 - Part 5: Motion (22 Oct 2020)

Paul Murphy: I am opposed to the extension of the sunset clause for this and for the other matter we are debating today. Fundamentally, the Government is attempting to compensate for its mess-ups, blunders and lack of a clear strategy in dealing with Covid by doubling down on repressive measures. That relates more to the second element of what we are discussing today, but the two elements are related....

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (22 Oct 2020)

Paul Murphy: Two and a half weeks ago, when the National Public Health Emergency Team, NPHET, advised the Government to go to level 5, there were 31 outbreaks in nursing homes and there are now close to 200 such outbreaks. We are hearing a horrendous story about 26 of 28 residents in a nursing home having tested positive for Covid-19. There has only been one nurse and one carer available in the home for...

Residential Tenancies (Extension of Eviction Ban) Bill 2020: First Stage (22 Oct 2020)

Paul Murphy: I move: That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to extend the ban on evictions and rent increases and for that purpose to amend the Residential Tenancies Act 2004. At the start of this month as it became clear that we were facing a second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic and a second wave of restrictions, we drafted this Bill to restore the full ban on evictions and rent...

Residential Tenancies (Extension of Eviction Ban) Bill 2020: First Stage (22 Oct 2020)

Paul Murphy: I move: "That the Bill be taken in Private Members' time."

Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Records, and another Matter, Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (22 Oct 2020)

Paul Murphy: I will be brief. As regards the comments the Ceann Comhairle made, it is very clearly the Government that is not listening or hearing. It would not have to have particularly good hearing to listen to the anger, upset and appeals to change course from survivors. The approach of the Government has been horrendous and heartless and is unfortunately reimposing an abuse upon people. I pay...

Written Answers — Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection: Parental Leave (22 Oct 2020)

Paul Murphy: 118. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if she will bring forward the implementation and the date of eligibility for the recently promised additional three weeks of parents leave from April 2021 to the 1 December 2020; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [32108/20]

Level 5 Response to Covid-19: Statements (Resumed) (23 Oct 2020)

Paul Murphy: Yes, unless Deputy Boyd Barrett comes back in, which I believe is unlikely. He sends his apologises. He had to go because of the change of the slots. The Government's plan is called Living with Covid. It would be better off renaming it the yo-yo strategy because that is the truth about what it offers to people with its plan. It offers a future of yo-yoing in and out of lockdown until a...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic (3 Nov 2020)

Paul Murphy: 5. To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on recent correspondences with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. [31332/20]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic (3 Nov 2020)

Paul Murphy: Has the Taoiseach had correspondence or communication with Boris Johnson on the refusal of entry into Ireland of 525 people, according to an article in Vice magazine in 2019, solely or partially on the grounds that they may travel onwards to Britain or Northern Ireland? What appears to be happening is that in the context of a Tory Brexit, immigration rules in Britain are becoming...

General Practitioner Contract: Statements (3 Nov 2020)

Paul Murphy: It was published a month later.

General Practitioner Contract: Statements (3 Nov 2020)

Paul Murphy: Is it accurate to describe Maitiú Ó Tuathail as a friend of the Tánaiste and someone who supported his campaign for leadership of Fine Gael?

General Practitioner Contract: Statements (3 Nov 2020)

Paul Murphy: That is fine, I thank the Tánaiste.

General Practitioner Contract: Statements (3 Nov 2020)

Paul Murphy: That is fine -----

General Practitioner Contract: Statements (3 Nov 2020)

Paul Murphy: That is fine. I will move to my next question. Is it the Tánaiste's contention that the fact that Maitiú Ó Tuathail was his friend and political supporter was purely incidental, that it was simply coincidence that he got this document from the Tánaiste and that no matter who the president of the NAGP was, the Tánaiste would have given them the document in this way?

General Practitioner Contract: Statements (3 Nov 2020)

Paul Murphy: Will the Taoiseach answer the question? Is it purely a coincidence that this friend and political supporter of the Tánaiste's received the document or would the president of the NAGP have got it not matter who? "Yes" or "No" will do.

General Practitioner Contract: Statements (3 Nov 2020)

Paul Murphy: That is fine.

General Practitioner Contract: Statements (3 Nov 2020)

Paul Murphy: If he received the document in his position as president of the NAGP, why did the Tánaiste send it to his home address rather than to the office of the president of the NAGP?

General Practitioner Contract: Statements (3 Nov 2020)

Paul Murphy: The Tánaiste talks of doing it more formally. Earlier, he mentioned the way to do that would have been to get Dr. Ó Tuathail in and go through it line by line over the course of two hours or so. The Tánaiste contends that he would have been able to do that without the permission of the IMO, that even though the Government was in the final stages of finalising an agreement...

General Practitioner Contract: Statements (3 Nov 2020)

Paul Murphy: So the Tánaiste did not need the permission of the IMO to share it with someone else, with the leader of a rival organisation. The Tánaiste is not saying that is the mistake he made.
