Vote 32 - Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Revised) (9 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: On page 64 there is reference to IDA Ireland winning 249 new investment projects in 2021. It then refers to winning five environmental sustainable investments. Are the 15 part of the 249? Does that mean the remainder of the 249 projects are not environmentally sustainable? What is the import of that?

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 32 - Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Revised) (9 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: On unionisation, there was an interesting article in the Business Post on Sunday about tech workers seeking to unionise and join the Financial Services Union in the context of the job losses and so on. It would be a good idea for tech workers to get into unions to try to protect their interests. The rate of workers covered by collective bargaining is very low, at approximately one in four....

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: Yesterday, I attended a powerful rally at Grangegorman organised by the students' union at TU Dublin in response to a racist attack on international students. Two hundred students came out to say that we will not stand for people being attacked because of the colour of their skin or where they come from. It is exactly what we need in response to the spate of violent racist attacks we have...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: The Taoiseach says the far right and the far left will exploit the migrant crisis. I am not sure whether he has noticed, but the far right is organising protests outside the temporary, inadequate, emergency accommodation of asylum seekers. What is the far left doing? We are working with others to build a solidarity march to say that refugees are welcome and that these people are not...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: Is the Taoiseach proud of over 100 people sleeping on the streets tonight, with a Dunne's voucher and €5 phone credit? Is that something to be proud of?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: I am saying the Taoiseach is playing into anti-refugee rhetoric very cynically. It is contemptible.

Paul Murphy: 6. To ask the Taoiseach when the Cabinet committee on EU and international affairs will next meet. [5894/23]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (14 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: The Taoiseach said earlier in reply to me that nobody should be trying to make political gain out of migration. Will he distance himself from the conclusions of the European Council meeting and from Deputy Haughey's comments just now? The meeting represented a further hardening of the fortress Europe policy. The tone was set by the hard-right government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Urban Development (14 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: Last week, the Taoiseach, in responding to Deputies Barry and Pringle, suggested that those who are pointing to the need to address the housing crisis were in some way giving succour to the far right. They were not; both Deputies were very clear about their position that refugees are welcome in this country. Does the Taoiseach accept that it is the case that where there is deprivation,...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (14 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: People need to know whether the Government's partial eviction ban will be extended after 31 March. We need to have a proper eviction ban such as the one we had during Covid. We know for a fact that the number one cause of homelessness is eviction from private rental accommodation. This is from Focus Ireland. We know that eviction bans work. They are not the full answer to the housing...

Paul Murphy: 5. To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on the work of the public service, justice and police reform division of his Department. [5895/23]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Bodies (15 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: I want to ask the Taoiseach something I have raised with his predecessor many times. It is on the reality of a hard border that exists for non-EU migrants on this island. For example, someone who is married to an Irish or UK national could be living in the North perfectly legally as a refugee or migrant worker but would not be able to travel to the South freely. That is something that is...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Ukraine War (15 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: One of the scandalous aspects of the direct provision system is how it has often left direct provision residents and asylum seekers at the mercy of management and those in management abusing their power against them. What measures are in place to stop this happening with regard to Ukrainian refugees who are staying in places that did not previously have refugees, for example, hotels? I...
