Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2022: Motion (30 Nov 2022)

Paul Murphy: Some €91 million has been provided to subsidise animal cruelty. This is incredible.

The Government wants to hand over €91 million, the Green Party is going against its professed position to...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Research Funding (1 Dec 2022)

Paul Murphy: Will the Minister engage with PhD researchers' unions to ensure that all PhD students receive a living wage income and that they are treated as workers? The truth is that they are well below the minimum wage. The highest available PhD stipends are €18,500 over a 40-hour week. Most of them do significantly more than that, which works out at less than €9 per hour.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Research Funding (1 Dec 2022)

Paul Murphy: The issue of treating PhD students as workers is the central issue because what flows from it is that, if we recognise them as employees, then they have to be paid at least the minimum wage. They are workers in terms of the research work they do but also, in very many cases, in the context of the unpaid work the do in delivering tutorials, demonstrations, correcting assignments and exams,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Research Funding (1 Dec 2022)

Separate from the issue of...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Dec 2022)

Paul Murphy: These developers have and will cost people between €20,000 and €70,000, off-loading responsibility from themselves onto ordinary people who simply cannot afford it. More than that, they have put people's lives at risk by their actions, yet they are still operating and, in some cases, on the same site. How can that be allowed? How are they allowed to wash their hands of it?...
