- Social Welfare and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (31 Jan 2024)
Paul Murphy: I agree with the point of bringing into line how Ukrainians and other asylum seekers are treated. The question is whether we go down to how asylum seekers are treated with inhumanity or go up to how Ukrainians were treated with basic humanity. Sinn Féin and the Government are saying that we should level down to the level of inhumanity. Sinn Féin's position was for the scrapping...

She wants people to live on €38.80 a week while living in overcrowded and inadequate emergency accommodation. She thinks that is okay, and so does Sinn Féin. In fact, it is pretty poor. Would the...

- Social Welfare and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (31 Jan 2024)
Paul Murphy: Perfect. I am very happy to do that. These amendments relate to what is effectively new legislation introduced by the Government on Committee Stage, which is extremely poor practice in terms of having any parliamentary oversight. We should have had new legislation. The Government wants to strip rights from Ukrainians and put them on poverty rates as it treats other asylum seekers. It...
