Confidence in the Ceann Comhairle: Motion (1 Apr 2025)

Paul Murphy: No, we are not. It is more like 70 minutes.

Confidence in the Ceann Comhairle: Motion (1 Apr 2025)

Paul Murphy: What we have heard from the Government benches is an incredibly narrow view of what democracy means. You could paraphrase the Chief Whip with "We won, you lost, we can do whatever we want.". I am sorry but that is not democracy. Where is the space in that for the rights of minorities? Where is the space in that for the rights of opposition?

Confidence in the Ceann Comhairle: Motion (1 Apr 2025)

Paul Murphy: The rules that protect those rights were deliberately, consciously and repeatedly broken by the Ceann Comhairle last week. It is her job to protect those rules and to ensure they are abided by but instead she broke them one after the other. There was the unprecedented situation of a vote being called on the Order of Business and no vote being granted. It was an incredible, unprecedented...

Housing Emergency Measures: Motion [Private Members] (2 Apr 2025)

Paul Murphy: People Before Profit strongly support this motion. We thank Deputy Healy, not only for bringing forward this motion today but for years of pushing the necessity of legally recognising the housing emergency as an emergency and the necessity for radical action. The motion contains the kind of emergency measures that the Government should have been implementing ten years ago. I was first...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Financial Instruments (3 Apr 2025)

Paul Murphy: The Taoiseach was very exercised on Tuesday by the suggestion that the Irish State was complicit in genocide. One of the ways we are complicit in genocide is by the authorisation by the Central Bank of Ireland of Israeli war bonds for sale in the EU. Despite all the evidence that these are used to fund the genocide, the Governor of the Central Bank has refused to act. If this continues,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Financial Instruments (3 Apr 2025)

Paul Murphy: Shameful. The Minister says he is not complicit and yet he is saying he will do nothing about it. The Central Bank of Ireland allows Israeli war bonds that are used to commit this genocide to be sold in the EU. The Minister repeats the excuses of the Governor of the Central Bank that its only framework is to check whether the prospectus meets the standards of completeness,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Financial Instruments (3 Apr 2025)

Paul Murphy: It is not a question of language. The Minister might find it offensive for it to be said that he is complicit in genocide but it is the truth. He says he condemns what is happening in Israel. That is good but then the Central Bank is allowing this to happen. It is helping it to be financed. That is a fact. We can see the way these bonds are advertised online as facilitating its "war" in...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Financial Instruments (3 Apr 2025)

Paul Murphy: I am not about tolerance of genocide or civility towards genocide.
