Paul Murphy: Recommendation No. 10 states: "The State should advocate for a shift in emphasis in EU and international economic policy away from GDP expansion as a goal in itself and towards the goals of societal and ecological wellbeing."

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Citizens Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Discussion (19 Sep 2023)

Paul Murphy: I refer to a point that Dr. Ó Cinnéide made about plans to expand agricultural production in Ireland.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (12 Jul 2023)

Paul Murphy: The Taoiseach said it twice yesterday. He said it twice deliberately to get the headlines he got. He said it here and at a press conference. That is the truth of it.
