Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (16 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: It is now over two years since George Nkencho, a young man, was shot dead by gardaí in Blanchardstown. That the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission report has still not been published two years later is incredible. The family has been driven into a situation of having to take civil action. The inquest has not been able to conclude as a result of the GSOC report not being...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (16 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: I understand how it works, but the Minister's answer is almost word-for-word the answer that was given to Deputy Kenny on 6 December last year, I believe. Things still have not moved. We, and the family in particular, keep asking about it. We are told the report is around the corner, but it still has not arrived. Does the Minister agree that there is clearly some sort of problem with...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (16 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: George cannot be brought back. His family understand that, but they want truth and justice and they want to try to make sure this cannot happen again. A proper independent inquiry is an important part of that. I hear the Minister when he says that this is not a matter of resources. In that case, what is the issue? What is so complicated about producing a report in two years? I just do...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Ukraine War (15 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: One of the scandalous aspects of the direct provision system is how it has often left direct provision residents and asylum seekers at the mercy of management and those in management abusing their power against them. What measures are in place to stop this happening with regard to Ukrainian refugees who are staying in places that did not previously have refugees, for example, hotels? I...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Bodies (15 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: I want to ask the Taoiseach something I have raised with his predecessor many times. It is on the reality of a hard border that exists for non-EU migrants on this island. For example, someone who is married to an Irish or UK national could be living in the North perfectly legally as a refugee or migrant worker but would not be able to travel to the South freely. That is something that is...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (14 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: People need to know whether the Government's partial eviction ban will be extended after 31 March. We need to have a proper eviction ban such as the one we had during Covid. We know for a fact that the number one cause of homelessness is eviction from private rental accommodation. This is from Focus Ireland. We know that eviction bans work. They are not the full answer to the housing...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Urban Development (14 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: Last week, the Taoiseach, in responding to Deputies Barry and Pringle, suggested that those who are pointing to the need to address the housing crisis were in some way giving succour to the far right. They were not; both Deputies were very clear about their position that refugees are welcome in this country. Does the Taoiseach accept that it is the case that where there is deprivation,...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (14 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: 14. To ask the Taoiseach when the Housing for All progress report for quarter 4 2022 will be published. [4420/23]

Paul Murphy: And followed by the centre left.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (14 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: The Taoiseach said earlier in reply to me that nobody should be trying to make political gain out of migration. Will he distance himself from the conclusions of the European Council meeting and from Deputy Haughey's comments just now? The meeting represented a further hardening of the fortress Europe policy. The tone was set by the hard-right government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: Is the Taoiseach proud of over 100 people sleeping on the streets tonight, with a Dunne's voucher and €5 phone credit? Is that something to be proud of?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: I am saying the Taoiseach is playing into anti-refugee rhetoric very cynically. It is contemptible.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Feb 2023)

Paul Murphy: The Taoiseach says the far right and the far left will exploit the migrant crisis. I am not sure whether he has noticed, but the far right is organising protests outside the temporary, inadequate, emergency accommodation of asylum seekers. What is the far left doing? We are working with others to build a solidarity march to say that refugees are welcome and that these people are not...
