- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Work Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (18 May 2022)
Paul Murphy: The State legislates for very many aspects of workers' conditions in work. Employers could make the case that minimum wage legislation is a restriction on their constitutional right to private property and right to run their businesses as they like. Clearly, however, it is largely accepted that that would not be accepted. There is clearly an accepted level of intervention on the part of...

- Adaption Grants for Older People and People with a Disability: Motion [Private Members] (1 Jun 2022)
Paul Murphy: I welcome and support the motion. As with pretty much every other public service in this country, there is a disgraceful lack of timely access to adequate home adaptation grants for older people and those with disabilities. As has been stated repeatedly, there are thousands of people in dire need of immediate home adaptations who have been waiting months, and even years, to have their...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (1 Jun 2022)

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (1 Jun 2022)
Paul Murphy: Can I ask a question? Is it Russian propaganda to point out the fact that the top oil and gas companies in the world made total profits of almost $100 billion in the first quarter of 2022? How does that compare with last year? It is almost a doubling of profits. Is it Russian propaganda to point out the fact, as Deputy Boyd Barrett has done, that in this country they are taking advantage...

Paul Murphy: The ESB, Energia, Airtricity - every single electricity company in this country has increased its prices and its profits.

If the Tory Government can do it, even with some horrific loopholes, why can we not have a windfall tax on these super profits?
