Other Questions: Ministerial Dialogue (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: The Government's public profession of sympathy for the Greek people and occasional abuse of the word "solidarity" in respect of them has been exposed as entirely empty rhetoric, which covered up, behind the scenes in the closed rooms in Brussels, active participation in a coup with which the Syriza Government was unfortunately complicit and which has reduced Greece not to a sovereign state...

Other Questions: Ministerial Dialogue (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: That is yet another threat from the Minister, the same threats that have come from the Eurogroup, the Commission President and the President of the European Parliament. The Greek Government was negotiating under pressure with a gun to its head. It was told that if it did not agree to the horrific austerity that will destroy the Greek people and economy, it would be out of the eurozone and...

Other Questions: Ministerial Dialogue (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: This agreement is about the deliberate humiliation of the Greek people and the Greek Government. Some of the finance Ministers at the Eurogroup admitted it. They said the reason the agreement is so harsh is because the Greek people, through an incredible act of insubordination, had a democratic referendum and opted to reject austerity. As a result, the EU demanded more austerity. Does a...

Other Questions: Foreign Policy (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: We have had numerous questions here about Irish citizen Ibrahim Halawa, who is still in prison in Egypt and has been for almost two years. The Government's response to these questions has always been the same and it is evident that the Government's strategy and approach is not working. Is the Government willing to escalate its calls for Ibrahim's release? Is the Government willing for the...

Other Questions: Foreign Policy (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: While I appreciate the consular assistance, the problem is that Mr. Halawa is still in prison, almost two years on. Is it time to try a different strategy than that of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade? Is it not time for the Taoiseach to intervene, as Australian and Canadian Heads of State did in the cases of Peter Greste and Mohamed Fahmy, respectively, who were consequently...

Leaders' Questions (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: It is now over two months since I asked the Taoiseach how many people had paid water charges. One would have though that was a simple question. The Taoiseach answered it by telling me he was not here to spoon-feed me, but advised me to "toddle along" to the audiovisual room at 4 p.m. on 13 May where Irish Water would give me the answer to any question I wished to ask. He then told us the...

Leaders' Questions (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: What is the Taoiseach hiding? What is Irish Water hiding? For one, many people can reasonably guess and surmise that what is being hidden is a very low level of payment, especially given that 30% of people have still not registered, despite the Taoiseach's promise of a free €100, which was stolen from lone parents, to get people to sign up. Irish Water was happy to give that...

Leaders' Questions (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: Will the Taoiseach please provide information about how many people have paid and how many have not?

Leaders' Questions (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: I will repeat the two questions. Has the Cabinet discussed the payment levels of the water charges? It is a simple question and I would like the Taoiseach not to evade it. The Taoiseach told me more than two months ago to go to Irish Water, where we would get the information. He said, "I am sure Irish Water will be happy to supply the Deputy with the details of bills that have been issued...

Leaders' Questions (14 Jul 2015)

Paul Murphy: So the Cabinet did discuss them.
