He finally responded to them yesterday, after we wrote to the Business Committee requesting that there would be a statement from the Minister of State, as well as a question-and-answer session. He did not dispute a single allegation set out...

That is quite an incredible attitude to take to the basic idea of parliamentary accountability. If I may take the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (25 Apr 2023)

Paul Murphy: I wish to raise the disgraceful behaviour of Workhuman, a major so-called tech unicorn with a turnover of $1 billion per year. Last year, it issued $90 million in dividends to investors, partners and board directors yet - perhaps ironically given its name - it is treating its workers in a very inhumane manner.
