An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (29 Apr 2025)

Paul Murphy: I was bemused to listen to the Taoiseach painting his housing policy as a success rather than a deep failure.

Children's Health Ireland: Statements (29 Apr 2025)

Paul Murphy: What has happened in Temple Street is the abuse of vulnerable children. That abuse may have been motivated by a doctor or doctors who thought they knew best, were doing the best for the children and did not need to obey the rules. It may have been motivated by a hunt to maximise income through private health insurance. Regardless of the reason, it is abuse by individual doctors, such as...
