- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Apr 2024)
Paul Murphy: Giving €300 million to developers while 4,000 children are homeless, that is what he is interested in. Fianna Fáil is in the pockets of those who were in the Galway tent. It pretends to build houses and puts money into the pockets of developers. That is all it is interested in.

- Citizens' Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Motion (18 Apr 2024)
Paul Murphy: The German philosopher Walter Benjamin once wrote that "Marx says that revolutions are the locomotives of world history. But the situation may be quite different. Perhaps revolutions are not the train ride, but the human race grabbing for the emergency brake." If we ever wanted an example of why we collectively need to pull the emergency brake, we look at the scale of the biodiversity...

- Acknowledgement and Apology to the Families and to the Victims of the Stardust Tragedy: Statements (23 Apr 2024)
Paul Murphy: I pay tribute to all of the relatives and survivors. Their struggle, determination and resilience is incredibly inspiring against the backdrop of experiencing such horrific tragedy and trauma, faced with a State determined to cover up what happened and block the struggle for the truth. In the face of them and their loved ones being slandered and lied about, they just kept going. In the...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Healthcare Policy (23 Apr 2024)
Paul Murphy: Our healthcare system in general is in crisis. Almost a million people are on public hospital waiting lists. It is even worse for trans people. We have the worst trans healthcare in all of the European Union, according to a recent report by Transgender Europe. There is denial of services in primary care settings and a ten-year waiting list to access public services. Those people who seek...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Healthcare Policy (23 Apr 2024)
Paul Murphy: The Minister states, and I agree with this, "we cannot have a situation where we are developing a model of care for a group of people who are not involved and whose voices are not heard" and that "a key part of the development of this model of care will be consultation with stakeholders" and so on. He also states that this is a message he really wants to get across. What would be better...

From talking to people there, those who use the post office at The Square regularly are devastated at the prospect of losing a post office where they get a wonderful service from the workers. The post office...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Ireland's Climate Change Assessment Report: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)
Paul Murphy: I thank the witnesses for all their work and their presentations, which were sobering. I take the point about people having better lives now. I agree with that and it is very important that climate action is part and parcel of transforming people's lives for the better. The point that we are not on track to meet our statutory targets and that current policies and actions are not sufficient...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Ireland's Climate Change Assessment Report: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)
Paul Murphy: I have one other question that relates to Dr. Torney's indirect answer there. According to the opening statement, "We have done better in some sectors, for example, electricity and heating, than we have in others, including agriculture and transport." It is unfortunate that agriculture and transport are the biggest emitting sectors in which we are not doing well. Homing in on the question...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Ireland's Climate Change Assessment Report: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)
Paul Murphy: I was struck by the statement that "Ireland’s current policy direction predominantly emphasises technology transitions rather than wider systemic transformations." I thought of agriculture when that statement was made. I agree we have incentivised farmers to engage in unsustainable farming. It is not the farmers' fault. The whole system is set up such that they get paid for farming...
