Ceisteanna - Questions: Economic Policy (23 May 2023)

Paul Murphy: Right now, lawyers are being paid large amounts of money, paid for by the public, arguing in the European Court of Justice, incredibly, that the public should not receive €13.1 billion from one of the richest and largest corporations in the world. If the court finds against the Irish Government and the money is paid, that €13.1 billion could be used to build 70,000 homes. It...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (23 May 2023)

Paul Murphy: Does the Taoiseach agree with the Garda Commissioner's statement that the far right is not growing? How does that statement tally with the reality of what we have experienced, over the past couple of weeks in particular? A man in his 70s is in hospital after being assaulted at one of these blockades at Corrofin in Clare. We know of tents of asylum seekers being burned, with some of those...

Accommodation Needs for New Arrivals: Statements (23 May 2023)

Paul Murphy: Refugees are welcome. They are welcome in Tallaght, where I live, in the constituency of Dublin South-West, which I represent, and in Ireland. They are some of the more than 100 million displaced people throughout the world who are fleeing war, persecution and repression. Just as Irish people fleeing some of those things went abroad, along with some so-called economic migrants, we should...

Access to Autism and Disability Assessments and Supports: Motion [Private Members] (24 May 2023)

Paul Murphy: If he arrives I will be. First, I thank the Labour Party for tabling this motion. It is an indication of the scale of the crisis that we have, that Opposition parties repeatedly have to table motions to address these issues. Unfortunately, the statistics contained in the motions get worse rather than better as we have motion after motion. Rarely, thankfully, does the Government oppose a...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (24 May 2023)

Paul Murphy: Last Thursday, I asked the Tánaiste about the illegal eviction that had taken place on Harrington Street in Dublin where unlicensed private security threatened tenants and others with violence and the fact that the gardaí refused even to take statements saying that it was a civil matter. The Tánaiste responded to say that the Minister had written to the Residential Tenancies...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Defence Forces (24 May 2023)

Paul Murphy: I see the Green Party has once more wrestled with its conscience and, unsurprisingly, once more the Green Party has emerged victorious in ditching another one of its so-called principles by signing up with Fine Fáil and Fine Gael to abandon the triple lock. The Government and the Taoiseach like to present this abandonment of the triple lock and this abandonment of a commitment in the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Strategies (24 May 2023)

Paul Murphy: I wish to ask the Taoiseach whether his strategic goals include allowing Ministers to mislead the Dáil. In February 2022, the Minister, Deputy Coveney, appeared before the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence in regard to an event that had taken place at Iveagh House. He was asked three times by myself and Deputy John Brady whether he had deleted any texts relating to that...

Ceisteanna - Questions: An Garda Síochána (24 May 2023)

Paul Murphy: Those in the far right like to portray themselves as some sort of anti-establishment force. In truth, I think they are doing the dirty work of the real establishment - for example, those who benefit and profit from the housing crisis in this country, the big corporate landlords, and the private developers. How so? It is by dividing ordinary people, by pointing away from those at the top...
