Paul Murphy: But he lied about where he was living.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Apr 2023)

Paul Murphy: Without The Ditch, Deputy Troy would still be a Minister of State and Deputy English would still be a Minister of State. No wonder the Tánaiste is attempting to undermine The Ditchbecause it has been quite successful in exposing corrupt and unethical practices by Ministers in the Government and in the Tánaiste's party. The Tánaiste would leave everyone with the impression...

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (26 Apr 2023)

Paul Murphy: I am not convinced by the Minister of State's response. Towards its conclusion, he outlined the consequences of being convicted of a hate crime, including a higher sentence and being labelled as a hate criminal. It is a serious offence. Would it not make sense, therefore, to try to ensure people who are convicted of a hate crime will be people who have committed crimes actually motivated...

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (26 Apr 2023)

Paul Murphy: I might make a short, general point in response. We are in favour of having good hate crime legislation. The work done by those in the Coalition Against Hate Crime Ireland has been excellent. Many of the groups it comprises are ones with which we organise, such as Le Chéile, Ireland for All and so on. Having said that, section 10, the thought crime section and the failure to insert...

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (26 Apr 2023)

Paul Murphy: I move amendment No. 10: In page 17, to delete lines 20 to 27.

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (26 Apr 2023)

Paul Murphy: I move amendment No.9: In page 16, to delete lines 3 to 10. The three amendments remove what is known as the demonstration test to demonstrate that these are hate crimes and therefore the crime itself becomes aggravated by hatred. This is very unusual in criminal law that one is not relying on motivation but instead seeking to rely simply on demonstration to establish that a particular...

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (26 Apr 2023)

Paul Murphy: I move amendment No. 7: In page 11, line 35, after “characteristic” to insert “, in this respect, particular regard must be had to the importance of the right to freedom of expression by virtue of Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, including the general principle that the right applies to the expression of information or ideas that offend, shock or...

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (26 Apr 2023)

Paul Murphy: Yes.

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (26 Apr 2023)

Paul Murphy: The Minister of State's answer does get to the heart of the problem. He says that people should be held responsible for their actions, even if the authorities intervene before they do anything. How can we hold people responsible for actions that they have not taken? That goes against the main thrust of our criminal law, which relates to actual crimes that take place, not bad thoughts that...

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (26 Apr 2023)

Paul Murphy: It gets to the fundamental issue again. We are just going around in circles. This is material that is likely to incite violence or hatred, but the material can simply be sitting on a person's computer and no hatred has been incited. The Minister of State is saying the Garda will intervene before it is done, but the onus is then placed on the individual to prove that he or she was not...
